Ethics Citations Related to Advertising

posted: 06/27/2018

With the July 1 deadline approaching to comply with the new MREC advertising rules requiring firm name and firm phone number in all forms of advertising, also remember that firm name display in advertising is an obligation of the Code of Ethics - Article 12, Standards of Practice 12-5 and 12-9.

CMR's Citation Policy includes Standards of Practice 12-5 and 12-9 that gives the Respondent the opportunity to admit to a violation and pay a $250 Citation (1st offense) instead of having to participate in Professional Standards hearing if he/she chooses.  Standard of Practice 12-5 requires the display of the firm name in all advertising and Standard of Practice 12-9 requires the display of the firm name and state of license on the firm’s website.
