According to Georgia guidelines, which statement would be considered false or misleading in an advertisement?

In the context of Georgia guidelines for legal advertisements, the inclusion of a lawyer's name responsible for the content is a critical element for ensuring transparency and accountability. When an advertisement does not provide the name of the lawyer responsible for its content, it can be deemed misleading, as potential clients have no way to verify the qualifications and reputation of the individual promoting the legal services. This lack of transparency can cause confusion and may lead clients to rely on unverified information.

In contrast, making exaggerated claims about past cases (which could mislead clients about the likelihood of success) is also unethical but does not directly relate to the identification of the responsible lawyer. Including the lawyer's photo can enhance the ad's personal touch without making it misleading, and stating that a lawyer offers a free consultation can be a legitimate promotional strategy if it accurately reflects the services provided. Thus, providing no lawyer's name responsible for the content is the most straightforward violation of ethical advertising standards aimed at protecting consumers from misleading information.
