Montana lawyer advertising rules

Before any Montana 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 Montana firm is built to these rules, and you approve it before it runs.

Montana has no ad filing, but any online ad needs a named responsible lawyer with contact details, the states where the lawyer is licensed, and a 'past results' disclaimer if it shows results.

Who enforces it
Montana Supreme Court (rules); lawyer discipline through the Office of Disciplinary Counsel
The rules
Mont. R. Prof. Conduct 7.1 to 7.3 and 7.5 (Rule 7.4 eliminated); last amended October 29, 2020
Filing or review
No general filing requirement found in the official rules. The rules text has no filing, pre-approval or record-retention requirement for ads.
Required labels
Rule 7.3(c): written, recorded or electronic solicitations to a person known to need legal services in a particular matter must include the words 'Advertising Material' on the outside envelope and at the beginning and end of any recording or electronic message. Rule 7.2(d): every communication must include the name and contact information of at least one responsible lawyer or firm. Rule 7.1(l): ads must identify the jurisdictions where the lawyer is licensed.
Testimonials, results, specialist
Rule 7.1(c): ads that proclaim results such as damage awards or verdict records must state that past results afford no guarantee of future results and that every case is different. Rule 7.1(h): a paid testimonial or endorsement must conspicuously disclose the payment. Rule 7.1(i): simulated portrayals must be identified as simulations. Rule 7.2(c): a specialist claim needs certification by a state-approved or ABA-accredited body, named in the communication.
Online ads
Rule 7.2(a) allows communication through any media. Rule 7.3(b) bars written, recorded or electronic solicitation of someone who is already represented, asked not to be contacted, or cannot exercise reasonable judgment. No website, social media or AI-specific provision was found.
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 Montana needs your Montana license, and it is still lawyer advertising under the rules above.
