For those attorneys who have been practicing law for twenty or more years, there was no internet when our careers began.

After all of that hard work, you want to make sure your online reputation is the same as your “offline” reputation.

Social media is defined as, “computer-mediated tools that allow people to create, share or exchange information, ideas, and pictures/videos in virtual communities and networks. The tools use mobile and web-based technologies to create highly interactive platforms through which individuals and communities share, co-create, discuss, and modify user-generated content. They introduce substantial and pervasive changes to communication between businesses, organizations, communities, and individuals. Social media are different from traditional or industrial media in many ways, including quality, reach, frequency, usability, immediacy, and permanence.

We make sure your internet presence is positive, which will enhance your online legal reputation in a way that a simple advertisement cannot.

There is a strong likelihood that the people you currently interact with, or will interact with in the future, will Google you. This includes your peers, adversaries and/or clients.
