Lawyers and law firms have standing to sue those who engage in the unauthorized practice of law. See Richard F. Mallen & Associated LTd. V. Myinjuryclaim.com Corp, Ill. App. Ct. 1st Dist, Np. 1-00-2912 (April 18, 2002). The case is interesting because it involved a suit by a law firm against a now defunct web site that invited injured individuals to pay up to $500 to get information about the fairness of any settlement offer they received.
