"Legal Vultures" Catch Eye of GA Disciplinary Committee Member

Ken Shigley, a Georgia personal injury attorney, is not happy. His ire is directed today at out-of-state attorneys who have swooped into Georgia with full-page ads to solicit victims of a large sugar refinery explosion and solicited victims at a burn clinic. Should the out-of-state lawyers be concerned?

Well, Shigley is not just blogging about it, but also happens to be on the Disciplinary Rules and Procedures Committee of the State Bar of Georgia.

And Shigley thinks, as do I, that the conduct of the few “makes us all look bad.” Better we clean our own house than wait for others to come and in and do it for us.

The New York Personal Injury Law Blog is sponsored by its creator, Eric Turkewitz of The Turkewitz Law Firm. The blog might be considered a form of attorney advertising in accordance with New York rules going into effect February 1, 2007 (22 NYCRR 1200.1, et. seq.) As of July 14, 2008, Law.com became an advertiser, as you can see in the sidebar. Law.com does not control the editorial content of the blog in any way.

Throughout the blog as it develops, you may see examples of cases we have handled, or cases from others, that are used for illustrative purposes. Since all cases are different, and legal authority may change from year to year, it is important to remember that prior results in any particular case do not guarantee or predict similar outcomes with respect to any future matter, including yours, in which any lawyer or law firm may be retained.

Some of the commentary may be become outdated. Some might be a minority opinion, or simply wrong. No reader should consider this site (or any other) to be authoritative, and if a legal issue is presented, the reader should contact an attorney of his or her own choosing for advice.

Finally, we are not responsible for the comments of others that may be added to this site.
