Boredom is good for you and might just be the secret key to getting your life back on track. Normally I pepper my articles with data from carefully researched scientific papers and quotes from reputable writers in established magazines, but this one is different. This is from the heart. People outside of law don’t think of it as a creative field. Like a recent meme I shared, maybe a million times too many, they think of attorneys as “attack librarians.” That is not too far off the ma

Tips for taking control of your online presence because it truly does matter what you do (or don’t do) in the places people look for a good lawyer. Think about the last time you had to find a service provider — a dentist, an architect, a consultant, a painter. At some point in your vetting process, an online search was probably involved.
