    Lawyer Referral Services.

 

    It is not improper for an attorney to participate in a lawyer referral service which limits its referrals to a certain number of attorneys in a specific geographic area as long as the limitation does not result in public deception. It is not improper for an attorney to participate in a lawyer referral service that is a profit-making lay organization or corporation. It is not proper for a lawyer referral's advertising or corporate name to indicate a specialty. It is not proper for an attorney to list himself or his firm as a lawyer referral service in the yellow pages when calls to the listed lawyer referral service go directly to the attorney's office.
