Maryland medical malpractice lawyers are not permitted to advertise that they are the “best” medical malpractice lawyer in Maryland. Maryland lawyers are required to comply with the Maryland Attorneys’ Rules of Professional Conduct. Those Rules include the following requirements: “Whatever means are used to make known an attorney’s services, statements about them should be truthful. The prohibition in section (b) of this Rule of statements that may create “unjustified expectations” would ordinarily preclude advertisements about results obtained on behalf of a client, such as the amount of a damage award or the attorney’s record in obtaining favorable verdicts, and advertisements containing client endorsements. Such information may create the unjustified expectation that similar results can be obtained for others without reference to the specific factual and legal circumstances. A communication will be regarded as false or misleading if it (1) asserts the attorney’s record in obtaining favorable awards, verdicts, judgments, or settlements in prior cases, unless it also expressly and conspicuously states that each case is different and that the past record is no assurance that the attorney will be successful in reaching a favorable result in any future case, or (2) contains an endorsement or testimonial as to the attorney’s legal services or abilities by a person who is not a bona fide pre-existing client of the attorney and has not in fact benefitted as such from those services or abilities.”
The Maryland Attorneys’ Rules of Professional Conduct also provide that a “communication is false or misleading if it: … compares the attorney’s services with other attorneys’ services, unless the comparison can be factually substantiated.”
It is understandable that anyone who may have been harmed by medical malpractice in Maryland would want to hire the “best” medical malpractice lawyer in Maryland. An internet search for the best medical malpractice lawyers in Maryland may result in unreliable and skewed results because lawyers can pay vast sums of money for online advertising such as pay-per-click, Google ads, and “Google Screened” sponsorship (Google states with regard to Google Ads: “Show up on Google Search and get discovered by more customers with Local Services Ads” … “Show up when local customers search for your services, and build confidence with a Google badge. With Local Services Ads, you only pay for customers — not clicks” … “Estimate your budget with our budget tool and choose ad spend based on the number of new leads you want every week. Once you’re set up, you can come back to adjust your ads anytime”).
