Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney visits a physical therapy center and speaks with several recovering patients. The attorney has no previous relationship with these individuals and they have not shown interest in hiring counsel. The attorney encourages them to hire representation for possible claims related to their accidents. Which statement best describes how professional conduct rules address that activity?
It is permitted if the therapy center administrator has allowed the visit.
It is ethical if the attorney does not mention potential fees.
It is acceptable because the individuals are in a shared space that allows visits from outsiders.
It is improper because the attorney personally approaches prospective clients who did not seek out legal representation.
Lawyers are generally restricted from making in-person solicitations for profit with unknown individuals who have not initiated or requested such contact. These rules protect the public from undue influence, intimidation, or overreaching. The other answer choices misinterpret or disregard the prohibition on face-to-face solicitations for personal gain without a prior relationship or request.
