"Best Lawyers In America"
Some legal commentators have even suggested that using vanity logos is deceptive, thereby raising ethical concerns:
Buying fake awards and plastering them on your site to get more clients is deceiving consumers. It is false advertising. It is unethical, especially if you know it is a scam, or if you have a nagging suspicion.
William Peacock. Lawyers of Distinction is a Distinct Scam, ABA Plays AlongEven the federal government has gotten involved, warning consumers not to fall for bogus awards!
At Graham.Law, we receive more solicitations from these phony awards than we can count, trying to lure us into paying hundreds of dollars for an overpriced plaque & logo which we, and the website seeking our money, both know means nothing. The only people fooled are the public.
We ignore these phony award solicitations, and so should you. My skepticism runs so deep that when I first learned of our U.S. News & World Report Best Lawyers award a few years back, I ignored it, assuming it was a scam. It was only after I did some digging that I realized it was legit – and actually kind of cool!
