ChatGPT's answer
- Law Offices of Sean P. Dixon
- Callinan & Wisecup
- Soroka & Associates
None of Google's top 5 map results for "car accident lawyer" in Columbus made ChatGPT's list. A strong Google ranking does not get a firm named by AI.
Pages ChatGPT read before answering: 3 law firm websites plus ohiobar.org. It names the firms whose own pages answer the question and whose details match across sites it trusts.
The Google price of an injury search in Ohio.
Monthly Google searches in the US and the average cost per click advertisers paid, from Google's keyword data, pulled October 28, 2026. ChatGPT ads are new and far less crowded, which is why we start most Ohio firms there.

| "ohio car accident lawyer" | 2,400 | $91 |
| "ohio personal injury lawyer" | 2,400 | $64 |

Before any Ohio 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 Ohio firm is built to these rules, and you approve it before it runs.
In Ohio online ads need no bar filing, but they must show a responsible lawyer or firm name and office address, avoid nonverifiable claims, and any targeted solicitation needs the 'ADVERTISING MATERIAL' label (plus the Understanding Your Rights notice if sent within 30 days of an accident).
- Who enforces it
- Supreme Court of Ohio (enforced through the Office of Disciplinary Counsel and the Board of Professional Conduct)
- Filing or review
- No general filing requirement found in the official rules. The text of Rules 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 contains no filing or pre-approval requirement for advertisements.
- Required labels
- General ads need no special label, but every advertisement must include the name and office address of at least one responsible lawyer or law firm (Rule 7.2(c)). Targeted written, recorded or electronic solicitations to people the lawyer believes need legal help must be labeled 'ADVERTISING MATERIAL' or 'ADVERTISEMENT ONLY' (Rule 7.3(c)(3)).
- Contacting accident victims
- No ban, but a mandatory notice: a solicitation sent within 30 days of an accident or disaster that could give rise to a personal injury or wrongful death claim must include the court's 'Understanding Your Rights' notice (Rule 7.3(e)). Live phone, in-person and real-time electronic solicitation is barred except to lawyers or people with a family, close personal or prior professional relationship (Rule 7.3(a)).
- Testimonials, results, specialist
- Rule 7.1 bans false, misleading or nonverifiable communications. Comment 3 says reporting past results can mislead if it suggests the same result for other clients, and a disclaimer may help. The Rule 7.1 notes say the rule dropped the old Code's flat ban on client testimonials, but unverifiable claims are still prohibited. Comment 4 says calling fees 'cut-rate', 'lowest', 'discount' or 'special' is misleading.
- Online ads
- Rule 7.2(a) allows advertising by written, recorded or electronic communication, including public media. Comments 3 and 5A recognize internet advertising and say a lawyer may pay for internet-based ads, online directory listings and domain-name registrations. Rule 7.3(c) labels and disclosures apply to electronic solicitations.
- 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 Ohio needs your Ohio license, and it is still lawyer advertising under the rules above.
