Today, the competition on the Internet is enormous-with thousands of new law firm websites and blogs popping up each year. Your website has to stand out and these templated websites that some of these mega web designers are pumping out are doing your more harm than good.
In a continuing effort to provide Virginia residents with useful information after an accident but before an attorney is hired I’ve launched “Before You Talk to the Adjuster.” This site is on a very cool WordPress Theme and is worth your study.

Of course we cover the Internet. Extensively. From websites to Facebook to video to everything…. But not in the way that most who sell you websites teach it. My buddy, Tom Foster, has developed an absolutely amazing tool that allows any lawyer with half a brain to become an Internet publishing empire. If you didn’t [...]
