Advertising Online

I am trying to locate any websites,that would contain any/all of the following criteria. In MD,I need websites that contain published articles, by lawfirms, in areas of any sustantive law of particular interest to its clients. I am also in need of websites that would contain a ''No Recovery, No Fee'' statement, any lawfirm that touts its success with info. relating to amounts won by judgement and any lawfirm whose clients, by name, endorse it services. Unfortunately, I am trying to research these topics for my employer and need the info by COB today 3/28/01. So any help you could give me would be great! I will be surfing in the meantime.

Re: Advertising Online

Looks like this response will be late; you indicate you need response by 3/28/01; this only was referred by Lawguru today -- must have been a glitch in the system.

In any event, nearly all of the PI attorneys make such statements, for starters, check the LawGuru list under PI -- note that in MD the Rules of Professional Conduct state that an atty can't advertise "no recovery, no fee" without also indicating that the client will be responsible for costs.
