Ethical Obligations: Lawyers' Fees and Loans to Clients

View

You may advertise fees, but the advertising must be precise and must state whether other amounts, such as disbursements, taxes, or “other charges” will be billed in addition to the fee. You must also strictly adhere to advertised fees (Code of Conduct, Rule 4.2-2).

You are not allowed to advertise that you make loans to clients, whether those loans are characterized as loans or cash advances against claims (Rule 4.1-3). This Rule applies to your personal capacity, as well as to entities related to or controlled by you.
