OPINION 98

SOLICITATION -- PROFESSIONAL CARD -- It is improper for a professional card to indicate that an attorney deals in personal injury and workmen's compensation practice since those are not recognized specialties.

"John Doe
Personal Injury and Workmen's Compensation Lawyer
123 Blank Building
Main and First
Blank 1, Texas
By Appointment Only
Phone EX-1234"
Opinion: The committee is of the opinion that use of the above quoted card would violate Canon 24 and 39. (7-3)
