There is currently a great debate among lawyers in Indiana about allowing lawyers to send direct mail solicitations to prospective clients. I would like comments to know how you feel about that?

The Indiana State Bar Association has commissioned a study at the cost of $25,000.00 of member dues to support their effort to enact a 30 day waiting period for attorneys to send direct mail to prospective clients. They claim enacting this rule will improve the public image of lawyers and that those in automobile accidents are traumatized by receiving a letter from a lawyer.

I feel that as long as we have television advertisements of lawyers with talking cars, talking dogs and space alien clients, not much is going to improve our image. I also feel that if a consumer does not like the mail in their mailbox, they will just throw it away with all the credit card offers and other junk mail.

How do you feel about this issue? I would like to know how the public feels about this issue, so post a blog comment and let me know!

Is the Ban also going to stop adjusters from getting there in their little white trucks? We don't do this type of advertising, but I've always felt that at least it gives people some idea what their rights are.

No, there are no restrictions to insurance adjusters, chiropractors, loan companies or anyone else after an automobile accident.
