Social Media Annual Review – Marketing for the Small Firm Lawyer

...ok professional page: And this is my my Facebook personal home page. My friends are up to @ 750, and my FB friends are so kind to me. I share my views on most everything.

Future of the Law 2016

...hens (“God is Not Great”, “Hitch 22”, and “Mortality”); Above all, I recommended Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr’s great essay, “Natural Law”, which opened my eyes to the world around me and gave me my foundational beliefs in my own “can’t helps”. There were no responses, so I took it down, and none were “recommended reading” at the conference. I feared that what I had to say at the TDBLaw Conference would not resonate with my peers.

Hanging Out Your Shingle – Not for the Faint of Heart

...200 current clients or 5000 closed files as I do. This will pay vast dividends. n. Finally, and this is critical. Whatever it takes, become a member of the WVAJ, and attend meetings of the WV State Bar. You will meet many of the best lawyers in the state. Without membership in the WVAJ, formerly WVTLA, I would have earned no more than half of what I earned in my career. Thirty years ago, I came home from a seminar and promptly earned a $35,000 fe...
