Ralph Adams runs a brief radio ad. The ad says that he has "10 years of extensive experience" and that he is a "divorce attorney." Although Ralph has been a bond attorney for 10 years, he has never had a divorce client because he is just starting his family law practice. The ad does not say this.

The ad is misleading because it gives the impression that his experience is in divorce cases, when in fact he has never had a divorce client. The ad is not providing accurate information about his specific experience in the area of law for which he is advertising. The ad is misleading because it gives the impression that Ralph's 10 years of experience is in handling divorce cases, which is not true. Although Ralph is a licensed attorney, his experience is in a different area of law, and the ad falsely implies that he has experience in the field of divorce law.
