Statutes and regulations governing Florida attorneys prohibit targeted solicitations to victims and and their relatives for thirty days following an accident or disaster. Noted "ambulance chasing" lawyer Rufus T. Firefly or his agents routinely contact accident victims as soon as possible following an accident in the hospital cafeteria for example. Mr. Firefly has filed suit seeking to have these provisions declared invalid. Discuss whether the Florida limitation upon Mr. Firefly and other Florida lawyers is valid under the US Constitution.
