A lawyer may circulate wallet-sized cards for automobile accident victims to use in protecting their rights, although: the card may not imply that contingent fee clients will not be obligated to make any payments unless they recover; the card may not state that its distribution is a "public service" because presumably the card is intended to solicit business; and the Bar is "concerned" that the card contains the label "Virginia" because it might imply that the state has approved the card.
