Prepaid Legal Plans.

 

January 30, 1987

 

An attorney proposes to license a prepaid legal service plan with the

State Corporation Commission, administer the plan and provide all legal

services. It is not improper for an attorney to market a prepaid legal

plan through nonattorneys, who will receive commissions based on income

derived from the subscribers. [ DR:2-101, DR:2-103; § 38.2-4409 et

seq. of the Code of Virginia].
