How Advertising Rules May Affect You
If you are a practicing New Mexico attorney or law firm, you need to consider the rules regulating attorney advertising in your state. While you are busy practicing law, your marketing company should ensure that your marketing efforts are above board and follow the Bar’s rules. Take a look below to see if your website or ad campaign is on the right track.
Understanding New Mexico’s Advertising Rules
The New Mexico Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct require that attorneys and law firms follow various strict guidelines when it comes to their online advertising campaigns. A rough outline of some of the most important rules for attorney advertising in New Mexico are as follows:
- Attorneys in New Mexico prohibited from making any statements about them or their practice that are false, misleading, or may be interpreted as false or misleading. [Rule 16-701, Communications Concerning a Lawyer’s Services]
- Law firms in New Mexico must include the name of at least one attorney or law firm responsible for creating the content or advertising on their site. Attorneys also, generally, may not pay clients for recommending their services. [Rule 16-702, Advertising]
- While attorneys in New Mexico may state that they practice specific areas of law, they cannot claim that they are a specialist or expert of any practice area, unless they meet very specific qualifications outlined by the bar. Attorneys also cannot advertise endorsements about them or their firm if those endorsements are false or misleading in some way. [Rule 16-704, Communication of Fields of Practice and Specialization]
