RULE X. CONTACTING PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS

    Panel members should not call prospective clients referred to them unless the prospective client calls them first. Calling a referred prospective client prior to the prospective client calling the lawyer is a violation of Rule 4-7.4(a) of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar. Panel members should not send referred prospective clients any written communication prior to the prospective client contacting the lawyer. Prospective clients are informed of by the Service that no one will call them or send them anything before they contact the lawyer. A lawyer violating this rule may be subject to discipline.
