Ethical Rules

Your law firm just successfully litigated against a pharmaceutical company. Your client used one of the company's drugs and suffered horrible side effects. The jury awarded your client a substantial sum for their injuries. One of your colleagues at the law office thinks this is a great way to market the firm and presents the following to your supervising attorney:

"The Law Offices of Smith and Lawson SPECIALIZE IN PHARMACEUTICAL CASES! Recently, our firm won a $5 million judgment against the manufacturer of a drug company for producing an unsafe drug. We can win for you tooplease call us if you would like us to represent your interests."

Your supervising attorney asks you for your comment. How do you respond?

Please be sure to reference the critical ethical rules as well as rules related to advertising for the legal profession.
