| Rule | What it requires | What we do |
| Cal. Rules of Professional Conduct 7.1 | No false or misleading communications, including by omission; past results and testimonials cannot imply the same for others. | Facts only, dated where they can change ("as of October 2026"); no results claims; you verify every legal statement. |
| Rule 7.2(b) and (c); RESPA section 8 | Nothing of value for recommending a lawyer, beyond reasonable advertising costs; every communication names a responsible lawyer or firm and an address. | No referral compensation to anyone; briefings are education with coffee; your name, the firm and the office appear on every carousel, reel card, ad, email and the landing page. |
| Rule 7.3(a), (c), (e) | No live or real-time solicitation of prospective clients for pecuniary gain; targeted written or electronic solicitations to someone known to need legal help must say "Advertisement." | All outreach goes to brokers and office managers as referral sources, never to owners; posts and ads carry "attorney advertising"; the Triage Line is a direction, not a solicitation, and says so. |
| Rule 7.4 | "Certified specialist" only with the State Bar certification; fields of practice may be stated. | Bio reads "practice concentrated in real estate and Palisades rebuilds"; no specialist certification claims. |
| Bus. & Prof. Code 6157.2, as amended by SB 37 (effective Jan 1, 2026) | No outcome guarantees or quick-money claims; dramatizations and spokespersons disclosed; awards only if free and not membership-based; ads name a California-licensed lawyer or the firm plus the city of a bona fide office; character-limited formats may link to a page with the disclosures. | Sample letters labeled as samples; no actors as clients; award badges off the ads; "Bloch Advisory Services, Beverly Hills" in every primary text; landing page carries the full block; takedown within 72 hours if a complaint is ever filed. |
| Bus. & Prof. Code 6151 and 6152 | No runners or cappers: nobody may be paid to solicit clients for a lawyer. | The Desk schedules educational briefings with office managers and follows up with attendees. It never contacts an owner and never discusses anyone's legal matter. You approve the script. |
| Rule 1.18 and client confidentiality | Prospective clients' information is protected; client facts are confidential. | No client-identifying facts in any content; scenarios are composites or public cases; every scenario text gets a conflict check before a substantive conversation. |
| CAN-SPAM; Cal. Penal Code 632 | Commercial email needs a true sender, a physical address and a working unsubscribe; recording a call needs every party's consent. | Emails go through a platform with your address and an unsubscribe in every footer; Desk calls open with the recording notice. |
| Instagram terms; Meta advertising and audience terms | No automation or inauthentic activity; list-based audiences need notice and consent; housing-related ads have a special category. | Messages sent by hand through Business Suite; audiences built from engagement, not uploads; special-category fallback creative ready. |
| Licenses and releases | Stock imagery used within its license; property and people releases for filming. | Your own photography first; Freepik Premium only, nothing marked editorial; your office and public streets for filming, no identifiable addresses or people in the burn zone without a release. |
