Attоrney Ortegа hаs prаcticed exclusively persоnal injury plaintiff wоrk for the past ten years. Her state bar offers certification programs in litigation and medical malpractice but not personal injury. She learns that many of her competitors have been obtaining a litigation certification and obtaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace. She attends a Personal Injury Certification Program offered by the Personal Injury Plaintiffs Attorneys Group, which is accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA). After completing the program, she begins to advertise as a Certified Personal Injury Attorney and is careful to always include the name of the certifying organization, Personal Injury Plaintiffs Attorneys Group. Is Attorney Ortega's advertisement ethical?
