What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MO
Here's a question for my fellows. I have quite a few endorsement on Linkin from people with no factual basis to make such an endorsement. Is it unethical to allow the endorsement to remain there.
For example: If I was endorsed by someone for litigation and I have never performed that task for or around the endorser, is it unethical to allow it to remain on my linkedin page? Does it matter if I solicited endorsements or never solicited endorsements?
Personally, I lean toward removal, but I am not sure how to remove individual endorsements or if it is even possible. I know you can turn that section off, but I'm hoping to avoid going that route. For the lawyers on the list - have you heard of any Bar issues with endorsements that are not accurate? And don't those endorsements raise potential rule violations for advertising and false statements?
