Which statement about professional notices is correct?

• A. May use professional notices such as websites, cards, or letterheads if they do not violate any statute or court rule.
• B. May not use any website or electronic communication.
• C. May practice under a trade name that is misleading about the attorney’s identity.
• D. Telephone numbers with domain names are not permitted.

Answer: (A)

Professional notices by lawyers can be used in multiple media, including websites, business cards, and letterheads, as long as the information complies with applicable statutes and court rules and is not false or misleading about the attorney’s identity or credentials. This is why using a website or other electronic communications is allowed when the content is truthful and not deceptive. It’s not permissible to practice under a trade name that would mislead people about who the attorney is. And there’s no general ban on including contact details that involve a domain name with a phone number in a notice; such information can be used as part of a proper professional notice. The key is accuracy and compliance with advertising rules.
