Different Blogging Styles Achieve Different Results.

Posted on January 06, 2008
There are lots of blogging styles out there. There are lots of different agendas being promoted by lawyers. Carolyn Elafant over at the myshingle.com blog promotes small and solo firms to other lawyers and as an alternative for potential clients to consider...

Showing Off Your Expertise

Posted on January 05, 2008
Granted, most lawyers don?t think much about marketing. Some lawyers still look at the concept of marketing as somehow unsavory. Why it is some lawyers think this way? Preserve the status quo: Some lawyers don?t like advertising because they?ve been around a long time and they don?t want to compete...

Blogging for Business

Posted on January 04, 2008
At this point in blogging history, there are lots of different types of blogs. Many blogs are like this one. They?re educational and informative in nature. They are noncommercial journals of sorts generating thought and commentary. Approximately four years ago, I started blogging about niche legal practice areas...

Generating Blog Content

Posted on January 03, 2008
We?ve all heard it from associates and other professionals. "I don?t have time to blog." I?ve always been amazed by this statement. We generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in business as a result of our niche practice area blogs. From our point of view, how could a professional not have time to blog? When the Yellow Pages' guy calls and wants me to spend a couple thousand dollars on an ad, I always tell him the same thing...

Staying Focused Over the Holidays

Posted on December 28, 2007
I love the holidays. For some reason, I always feel like life is starting again after Christmas. The possibilities once again seem endless. Opportunity abounds. It used to be that I was also very distracted by the holidays. For some reason, I would loose momentum and become less focused...

Clients Who Don?t Understand Value

Posted on December 14, 2007
Over the past three years we have had two clients who we have asked to find other representation. Both of these clients could not or would not grasp the concept of value billing. In both cases, the clients wanted to know how many hours were spent and the billing rate of the lawyers involved...

Driving Your Cases Forward

Posted on December 12, 2007
One of the best benefits of the extranet is that it provides you with a unique ability to continue to drive your cases forward. Lawyers in traditional law firms tend to be far more reactive than proactive. They are putting out fires, rather than driving results...

Finding and Fulfilling Your Potential

Posted on December 11, 2007
My nine year old son tested into the gifted program this year which required him to change schools. He is no longer on the bus path. As a result, I get the privilege of driving him to school each day at 7:35 in the morning. It?s only a four minute drive but each day we find something significant to talk about...

How Many Lawyers love Their Job?

Posted on December 10, 2007
One of the best parts about our firm is that we have managed to create an environment which drives me out of bed in the morning. I?m usually awake by about 5 a.m. and out of bed by 6. I can?t wait to pickup my digital recorder and start dropping tasks and messages into our extranet...

How Does The Long Tail Apply to the Service Industry?

Posted on December 07, 2007
I finally got around to listening to The Long Tail written by Chris Anderson. It is a fascinating book which in many ways states what is already obvious to observers of the information and technology age. But I?m left to wonder whether the principles of The Long Tail apply to the services industry? Perhaps I am not that far in the book yet, but being able to store unlimited books in a warehouse and sell them through Amazon...

The Importance of Immediacy

Posted on December 03, 2007
In today?s high paced commercial world the immediacy is the ultimate differentiator among businesses and workers. The industrial age allowed for tremendous time lag between thought and action. The industrial model which still dominates the commercial landscape taught people to work between the hours of 9 to 5 and to put off tasks, thoughts and efforts until punching the time clock in the morning...

How Truly Valuable is an Attorney?

Posted on November 29, 2007
You?ve all heard the jokes. People love to make fun of attorneys, and is not unlikely that you have not told a lawyer joke or two in your day. However, since I am now an attorney myself, I?ve really begun to think about the importance of my role in society...

Things That I am Thankful for.

Posted on November 22, 2007
Thanksgiving is a great holiday. There are no gifts or shopping or unnecessary candy. The point of Thanksgiving is to give thanks. What a great holiday. I am thankful for so many things. Here are a few: Smart, healthy well behaved kids who seem to have an appreciation for the more important issues we all face as human beings...

Visualizing Your Legal Future

Posted on November 20, 2007
I?ve been posting a lot recently on how and why things in life happen. In starting this law firm, I clearly took some level of risk. It always seems strange to look back on your start-up experience. In retrospect, it seems slightly crazy...

Understanding the Back End Numbers

Posted on November 20, 2007
We have really dedicated ourselves the last 45 days to improving our knowledge of the back end numbers for our firm. Now that I have additional resources with Brian and Mark, it is easier to get into these types of issues. Essentially, we have several pieces of data we?re focusing on...
