Thomas Wilkinson was quoted in a Philadelphia Magazine article discussing personal injury law firm billboards and whether Pennsylvania’s Rules of Professional Conduct mandates a level of decorum in legal advertising. “The rules do not mandate good taste in advertising, although there are a lot of lawyers and non-lawyers out there who view that as unfortunate,” said Tom. 

He also commented on Pennsylvania’s rules regarding advertising done primarily for the purpose of referring cases to other firms. “There is not a tremendous amount of policing in Pennsylvania of improper advertising. Sometimes that policing only occurs when there’s been a complaint about the quality of representation or a client feels they’ve been duped in some way. But for the most part, if clients are pleased with the outcomes, they don’t care a great deal about how they got to the lawyer,” he added.
