At LawLytics we have only one love, and only one product. We've found that "one thing" that we dream about at night and wake up excited to work on every morning. We create the best cloud-based legal marketing platform ever made, and we continually improve and support it.
The following question came up at a LawLytics Webinar that was held on April 26, 2013. The attorneys in attendance were highly engaged and asked a lot of good questions. I'm going to post several of the questions, and the answers we gave, over the course of the week. The webinar itself, which can be seen in full here, was geared towards DUI and criminal defense lawyers, but most of the questions that were asked are relevant to solo practitioners and small firm lawyers in any area of private private practice. The question, which was asked by a couple different attorneys with slight variations amounted to this: Wouldn’t it be advantageous to use one of the large directory companies website design and SEO services?
Much has been written about the crushing debt endured by today's newly minted lawyers. Cries that law schools are creating a new class of professional poverty are everywhere. The facts may be accurate, but the focus is wrong.
Attorneys are conditioned to being ripped off when it comes to their marketing. Our mission is to put a stop to that, reform the industry, and put the power back where it belongs, in the hands of the attorneys.
In the following circumstances, it may be a good strategy to consider having multiple sites/blogs.
While our regularly scheduled updates are predictable and well-planned (and designed to make sure that all LawLytics customers have the cutting edge version and the most up-to-date features), when an emergency arises (as it did today), we may not have time to email you before taking action.
On 2.2.13 at 2am Arizona time the LawLytics team rolled out a major update to the application.
The legal profession is emerging from the dark ages of the Internet's beginning. I'm excited about the inevitable fall (or reform) of the slimy legal marketing companies, and the re-emergency of the truly independent solo lawyer and small firm law.
Money isn't the only currency when it comes to practicing law. In fact, when it comes to building a reputation and attracting great clients, it probably means less than you think.
As of November 2012 LawLytics has ended it's Beta program and is now in full public release. We want to thank all of the early adopters who helped us improve the usability of the application, and helped us find and eliminate too many bugs to count.
There's a sure-fire test to see if your law firm's website or blog is modern enough and compatible enough to work with the devices and browsers your clients and potential clients use to search for lawyers.
Done right, your website is the next best thing to a telepathic connection with a vast peer referral network, and directly with your potential clients.
Suppose a potential client fills out a contact form on your website seeking a consultation. Great. You know they have been to that website, but are you getting the whole picture? Was the site from which the contact originated the only influencer of that PNC? Maybe, maybe not.
