NEB Catches Wind in the Blogosphere |
 |
SAN DIEGO, CA, June 21, 2006 — Several bloggers have commented on content published by the National Ethics Bureau. Davis Nelson is the author of LegacyNews.net, a blog that helps lawyers establish profitable alliances with other professionals such as accountants and insurance agents. Nelson encourages lawyers to check the ethical background of potential referral sources before doing business. He also mentioned the National Ethics Bureau and suggested our ethics-driven marketing practices could help lawyers distinguish themselves as ethical professionals.
Richard Dunnagan, author of the Indexed Annuities blog, came to the defense of “free lunch” seminars, the subject of a recent NEB Red Flag Reminder. “(This) reminds me of the discussion about gun control,” he writes. “Is the ‘free lunch’ seminar. . .the problem? Or. . .is it the few agents who choose to use the medium of seminars to fraudulently further their business with misleading information and deceptive business practices? I am all for eliminating the con artists from this industry, since this is a business of trust. The more reputable ALL agents are perceived, the better it will be for everyone. But let’s don’t [sic] throw out the baby with the bath water. The luncheon seminar is good for both agents AND seniors.”
