Withdrawn / June 13, 2016 LEO: Solicitation of Employment - Free Estate LE Op. 856
Solicitation of Employment - Free Estate Planning Seminars.
It is not unethical per se for an attorney to offer estate planning seminars to the congregations of various churches free of charge when the attorney does not intend to solicit business, but if subsequently contacted by church members, would not decline representation. The attorney must comply with the provisions of DR:2-101, EC:2-9 and any other appropriate ethical considerations. [ DR:2-101; EC:2-9]
Committee Opinion November 10, 1986
