Joseph Koncelik, Ohio Environmental Law Blog: LexBlog Q & A

By Handakte

Ohio environmental attorney Joseph Koncelik spent over a decade in state government before entering private practice, and he uses that unique experience to fuel the posts on his Ohio Environmental Law Blog.

“I really like to do more then just provide case law or regulatory updates on my blog,” Joe says. “I really want to try and provide a unique take or valuable insight.”

Like many lawyer-bloggers, Joe, an attorney at Cleveland-based Frantz Ward LLP, started blogging to market his practice. But he also wanted to use his blog as a new avenue to discuss issues he’s passionate about.

The most rewarding aspect, he says, has been the contacts he’s made through blogging, whether it’s readers from out of state or media contacts at publications like Newsweek and the Cleveland Plain Dealer. And, of course, the contacts made in the blogging community.

“By far the most unexpected response has been from other bloggers,” Joe says. “I am consistently impressed with the willingness of other bloggers to collaborate, share ideas and try to improve each other blogs.”

We caught up with Joe for this LexBlog Q&A and discussed more about his reasons for blogging and how fruitful the practice area of environmental law is for blogging right now.
