referral system" to insurance carriers who issue long-term disability

policies as long as the provisions of DR:2-103 are complied with. [ DR:

It is not improper for an attorney to notify long-term disability

carriers that he has moved to Virginia and has "limited his practice to

representation of social security disability claimants" as long as the

provisions of DR:1-101, DR:2-101, DR:2-102 and DR:2-103 are complied

with. [ DR:2-101, DR:2-102, DR:2-103]

in the notice to the insurance carrier as long as there are no untruthful

statements in his curriculum vitae. [ EC:2-7]
