Maryland Rules of Professional Conduct
If you are intending to do any internet advertising in Maryland, you will need to look through the Maryland Rules of Professional Conduct.
For example, you cannot make any claims on your law firm website that are false or misleading, such as comparing your services to another attorney’s services.

If you fail to follow the guidelines, the Maryland Bar may need to take some sort of disciplinary action; that’s why it’s so important to have an experienced law firm marketing team to make sure your website and advertisements are up to those standards.
