Find me a website of his where he has a photo (oh, you just figured out what the post said?) and yes, I'll call him a liar.<br /><br />If you have anything else to say, do yourself a favor stop thinking your anonymous here and use your real name. Act like the member of the Florida Bar that you are.

The guy markets himself as a "Gainesville Defense Lawyer" even though I've never seen him a Gainesville courtroom, but the building shown on his website is the Federal Courthouse in Miami.<br /><br />http://www.whittel.com/Stephen Stanfieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834335945349958946.post-67580961829950065922011-04-20T10:30:50.480-07:002011-04-20T10:30:50.480-07:00It's the difference between ethical and profes...It's the difference between ethical and professional conduct. Putting a shiny building that your office isn't in is misleading, but probably not a violation of the ethics rules. We call ourselves professionals, and if that's to mean something, we have to be better than silly tricks like this. <br /><br />Also, my word verification is close to "regurgitator".

This is true regardless of whether or not the lawyer works in the building. Of course, the bar has rules against this.<br /><br />In my opinion, a more important point is what to do about this. I hope we do not get rules relating to the posting of office pictures. Such a rule would be silly. The bar is a mandatory organization and it should limit itself to rules which are absolutely necessary and enforceable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834335945349958946.post-4513265189451042682011-04-19T13:00:22.311-07:002011-04-19T13:00:22.311-07:00I think this type of office situation is great for...I think this type of office situation is great for lawyers who don't need to have a full time office. But when a lawyer pays merely to have the address for mail purposes, and have someone answer a phone, and then puts a picture of the building on their website as if to say "look at me, I work in a big shiny building," it's lying.
