ADVERTISING: Prohibits attorney advertising through telephone communications. (8/1/26)
This bill prohibits attorneys from using unsolicited live or real-time telephone calls to advertise their legal services. It specifically bans phone banks, call centers, and automated dialing systems from making these calls when the primary goal is to generate money for the lawyer. The rule applies to calls made directly by attorneys as well as those placed by their employees, agents, contractors, or third-party partners. By adding this restriction to existing state law, the legislation aims to limit how lawyers can reach potential clients via phone.
