The Law Society of Ontario has alleged that a North York lawyer received client leads through a network of 31 websites apparently belonging to separate putative firms, many of which have domain names suggesting that they are personal injury law firms. The allegations, which have not been heard, adjudicated or proven before the tribunal, claim the lawyer engaged in possibly misleading, confusing or deceptive marketing practices. The website network described by the LSO’s notice of application was created and operated by an independent service provider who is not licensed as a lawyer or as a paralegal in Ontario.
