None of Google's top 5 map results for "car accident lawyer" in Kansas City made ChatGPT's list. A strong Google ranking does not get a firm named by AI.
Pages ChatGPT read before answering: 4 law firm websites plus mobar.org. It names the firms whose own pages answer the question and whose details match across sites it trusts.

Before any Missouri ad runs.
A plain summary of the official rules, checked October 28, 2026. It is not legal advice: read the rules at the link and ask the bar's ethics line when in doubt. Every ad we write for a Missouri firm is built to these rules, and you approve it before it runs.
Missouri has no ad filing, but most ads need the conspicuous 'choice of a lawyer' disclaimer, results claims need a 'past results' disclaimer, and written solicitations need 'ADVERTISEMENT' and a 30 day wait after injuries or accidents.
- Who enforces it
- Supreme Court of Missouri; enforced by the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel
- Filing or review
- No general filing requirement found in the official rules. The rule text has no filing or pre-approval requirement. Rule 4-7.2(b) requires keeping a copy or recording of each ad for two years after last use, with a record of when and where it ran and the name of a responsible lawyer unless the ad itself names one.
- Required labels
- Rule 4-7.2(f): most ads must conspicuously state 'The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.' This is not required for ads limited to firm and lawyer names, fields of practice, bar admissions, and address, email, website, phone and office hours. Rule 4-7.3(b): written solicitations must be marked 'ADVERTISEMENT' at the top of the first page and on the envelope.
- Contacting accident victims
- 30 days: a written solicitation about a personal injury, wrongful death, accident or disaster may not be sent if the event was less than 30 days earlier (Rule 4-7.3(c)(4)).
- Testimonials, results, specialist
- Rule 4-7.1: a paid testimonial or endorsement is misleading unless the payment is disclosed. Results such as awards or verdicts are misleading unless the ad says 'past results afford no guarantee of future results' and that every case is different. Simulated portrayals must be clearly identified as simulations. Comparisons must be factually substantiated.
- Online ads
- Rule 4-7.2 has no internet-specific provision. Its list of media does not name the internet, but the comment to Rule 4-7.1 says whatever means are used, statements must be truthful.
- ChatGPT Ads
- OpenAI accepts US law-firm ads from firms licensed where the ad runs, after business verification and ad review. A ChatGPT ad aimed at Missouri needs your Missouri license, and it is still lawyer advertising under the rules above.
