Summary
The law makes it illegal for anyone to pay or receive payment for selling consumer legal‑service leads, unless they are a licensed attorney, law firm, or nonprofit. It protects consumers from deceptive ads that pretend to be lawyers and allows civil suits for $10,000 per violation plus fees, and criminal prosecution for fraud‑related crimes. Traditional lawyer advertising is not affected.
