Paralegal Daniel works for a firm that wants to hire an accountant. He has been asked to find out if the accountant's name can be placed on the office door and the directory in the lobby of their building. He cannot locate any state statute on point. To make matters worse, he has found conflicting information from other states. What is his best course of action now?
A) He should advise the firm that he is not qualified to do this assignment because there is no clear law on the subject.
B) He should advise the firm to not list the accountant's name on anything because if there is no law authorizing what they want to do, it is probably illegal.
C) He should advise the firm to ask their state's appropriate authority (such as the state bar's ethics committee) for an advisory opinion on listing a non-lawyer on various firm things such as the door, letterhead stationery, advertisements, and the lobby directory.
D) He should advise the firm to go ahead with the plan because if there is no law against it, it is probably okay.
