Kansas Notable Felony Case Examples
Kansas Supreme Court Rule 226 - Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct 7.1(b) - states that a lawyer shall not make a false or misleading communication about the lawyer or the lawyer's services. A communication is false or misleading if it: (a) contains a material misrepresentation of fact or law, or omits a fact necessary to make the statement considered as a whole not materially misleading; (b) is likely to create an unjustified expectation about results the lawyer can achieve, or states or implies that the lawyer can achieve results by means that violate the rules of professional conduct or other law; or(c) compares the lawyer's services with other lawyer's services, unless the comparison can be factually substantiated.
It is important and necessary to emphasize that every case is different and these case results are samples of previous successes, but are not a guarantee or prediction as to any future case.
