The Dirtiest Secret of Lawyer Advertising!

1 Comment

“One call.  That’s all.”

Gone are the days when Lawyers do not advertise.  While some lawyers still think it’s a faux pas, most accept that lawyer’s advertising is just like any other industry and to some extent is a public service…

Regardless of whether or not you approve of lawyer advertising it is here to stay. However, there is one trap to be careful to avoid;

  • Bought and Paid for Search Rankings.

I get numerous Search Engine Optimization (SEO) proposals every week.  These groups claim they can have me at the top of Google searches, for a fee, in any legal category I choose. The SEO people Google specific terms and if you are not in the top 5, or on the first page, then the solicitations come. Sometimes you may even be on the first page organically and they still try to solicit you.

So what does this mean for you, the person looking for a lawyer? Be careful. Just because a lawyer shows up on your search does not mean he/she is the one for you or that they even handle the type of case you have.  Read more on How to Hire an Attorney.

If the only prayer you said was, ‘Thank You,’ that would be enough. – Meister Eckhart.

One piece of “advice” that I routinely give is for the clients to be sure to thank those persons that helped them navigate the troubled waters of divorce.  This is not me fishing for a compliment.  The intent is for the thanks be given to family members, close friends, and/or anyone who helped them materially through the process. Thanksgiving is an appropriate time to remember this tip.
