Son can't use name shared with dad to market firm


NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C.—A South Carolina personal injury lawyer known for his ads has won an order keeping his son from using their shared name to market a competing law firm.



Judge David Norton's temporary order Friday said the names and logos are confusingly similar.

He says the older firm has spent “an exorbitant amount of money” on ads, and it wouldn't be fair to let the son benefit from that marketing.
