Opinion 291
Question Presented
Is it proper for a practicing attorney to use the following professional letterhead?
"John Roe, B.B.A., LL.B., C.P.A.
P. O. Box 123 Χ Phone HI 4-5673
Small Town, Texas 91011"
18 Baylor L. Rev. 360 (1966)
SOLICITATION - ADVERTISEMENTS - LETTERHEADS
A practicing attorney may not list "B.B.A., LL.B., G.P.A." on his professional letterhead.
No. The use of "B.B.A., LL.B., C.P.A." is self-laudatory and constitutes holding himself out as having special talents or qualifications in violation of Canon 24. See Opinions 198 and 136; and cf. Opinion 119. (9-0.)
