Twelve Connecticut attorneys participating in the program were grieved (Zelotes v. Rousseau, et al., Grievance Complaint No. 09-0412) for violating the rules of professional conduct prohibiting payment for referrals. No problem, said the Statewide Grievance Committee. Total Cost did not actually “recommend” the lawyer’s services, so Rule 7.2(c) prohibiting such payments was not violated.
