I, personally, think you use the word 'whiny' way too often in your blog. That doesn't tell me anything about how you defend clients, just that you have a penchant for a word that I find annoying. Big freaking whoop. I think you've got a shitload more going for you that would make me recommend you regardless of the online identity you choose to give us on any given day.mirriamhttp://www.notguiltynoway.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834335945349958946.post-77930241411003254632010-06-07T17:27:15.864-07:002010-06-07T17:27:15.864-07:00I commented on this exact topic about a month ago ...I commented on this exact topic about a month ago on this site but it wasn't published - perhaps because it was a number of days after the initial post. To summarize the earlier comment, I think that when researching counsel on the internet, an attorney that writes passionately about his line of work scores extra points. I want someone who, despite working hours and hours a day in their field, feels so strongly about it that s/he is compelled to spend his non-billing hours writing about that field. Some young attorneys, and some old, spend all of their waking hours in the presence of other attorney's in the same area doing nothing but talking about that area. These guys are motivated, passionate, have novel theories that occasionally play out, work hard - really hard and love their work. Other older attorneys, and some younger, feel they have it wired (certainly erroneously), are bored, and can't wait to leave work - scarcely considering sitting down and blogging about it. I'd rather have the former rather than the latter any day - regardless of the latter's experience.Joshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834335945349958946.post-91834691438153887242010-06-07T15:18:17.682-07:002010-06-07T15:18:17.682-07:00Defendants down your way must have money if someon...Defendants down your way must have money if someone is putting out that kind of effort.Marcus Schantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01100081670915382047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834335945349958946.post-33521810643061486542010-06-07T15:15:52.188-07:002010-06-07T15:15:52.188-07:00Plenty of criminal lawyers use the fake robotic bl...Plenty of criminal lawyers use the fake robotic blogs to drive traffic.My Law Licensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17487117416844299246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834335945349958946.post-14514070782175550402010-06-07T15:07:24.274-07:002010-06-07T15:07:24.274-07:00In your market do criminal lawyers do that?

No one comments, nothing real is said, it's all about Google placement. They have nothing but a clickable link to their office phone number.<br /><br />Those of us who write to write, and discuss issues are often met with criticism (and love too). People think we do it for business, and don't realize that it drives away as much business, and maybe more, than it may bring.My Law Licensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17487117416844299246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834335945349958946.post-27938314565361105632010-06-07T14:36:21.511-07:002010-06-07T14:36:21.511-07:00Good post, Brian.

However, if nothing else, you're consistent about who you don't like and why. <br /><br />I, myself, get zero business from the internet. My client base typically has no online access. I fear my Bar people more than anything else.Marcus Schantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01100081670915382047noreply@blogger.com
