You can’t spend all of your time policing your competitors, but an occasional review of competitive Web sites may reveal egregious violations of your state’s rules of professional responsibility – violations that may give your competitor an unfair advantage over your online marketing efforts. When this happens, you have to decide whether to “take the higher ground” and send a letter directly to the law firm, or go straight to your state bar with the news.
