In Re: Amendments to Rule Regulating the Florida Bar 4-7.22 - Lawyer Referral Services

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida rejected the Florida Bar’s petition to amend Rule 4-7.22 on lawyer referral services, finding the proposed changes insufficient to protect the public. The Court ordered the Bar to draft stricter amendments that bar lawyers from accepting referrals from any for‑profit referral service not owned or operated by a member of the Bar.
