¶1concuring. I concur in the result reached in this case, but add the caveat that, if a law firm is going to utilize investigators or runners to solicit business, that firm should be ready to defend that person’s conduct and alleged misrepresentations when he or she approaches an injured person who is targeted as a potential client. This case depicts the problems that can arise when third parties are used to contact possible clients. If Mr. Allen could have shown he had suffered damages, I would have dissented in this case.
