Yahoo news is reporting that a Detroit woman serving on the jury of a felony criminal case was booted after the defense attorney’s son found she had posted that the client was “guilty” on her Facebook page. The problem was the case wasn’t actually over.
Something that I want to stress again to attorneys who participate in jury trials is that jurors go home and get on the internet to search for lawyers and information related to their trial. In fact, one jury consultant estimated that as many as 50% of jurors searched the web for related information during the trial.
Remeber - your website is the online face of your law firm. Does it fairly represent your firm? What is the first impression you leave with a juror who views it?
Law Father can construct a website that both generates clients and leaves a positive impression for viewers. Learn more about our attorney website design services.

A recent front page story in the business section of The New York Times suggests that Microsoft and its year-old search engine, Bing, are giving Google reason to look over their shoulder. While Google still has a sizable lead over Bing in the number of total web searches, 62.6% to 12.7%, Bing is steadily gaining ground. Yahoo, another big player in the search engine game, holds nearly 20% of Web searches, also gaining ground on Google in the last year. In the last 12 months Bing and Yahoo inked a search partership, finally giving Microsoft a real piece of the total search market share.
The Times article claims that “young people and women have shown a particular fondness for Bing” and attributes much of this fondness to the overall look and feel of Bing’s main page. Google, without giving credence to their competition, appear to be nervous about their losses. In recent months, they have changed or added features that closely mimic many of the popular features associated with Bing, including left-handed navigation tools, the option for a colorful background image, travel tools that track and predict fluctuations in flight prices, as well as offering more tie-ins to popular social networking sites.
Danny Sullivan, editor in chief of the blog Search Engine Land, thinks Google may be overreacting and “seems to do things because Bing has done something. Whether Google’s changes will hold off the rise of Bing remains to be seen. What is for certain is that Microsoft has finally made some headway in its desire for a greater share of the Web search market.
Our Law Father lawyer seo strategy beers in mind the fact that the online search horizon is in constant flux. Our attorney search engine optimization includes strategies for ranking on the first page of all three major search engines: Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

For the third year in a row Law Father was a ‘Silver Sponsor’ of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association Spring Dinner. The annual event honors CTLA members who have worked hard to make a difference in their communities. Congratulations to Michael Keating, this year’s New Lawyer of the Year and to Mari Newman and firm (Killmer, Lane & Newman) for taking home Case of the Year honors (for a case in which they represented a female inmate who had been sexually abused by a guard). The evening was capped with a keynote address from Iowa Congressman Bruce Braley. Law Father is proud to support the work of CTLA attorneys who protect the legal rights of vulnerable populations.

A blog is a simplified version of a website that allows for instant posting of original content. As the times have changed, so have blogs. No longer reserved for simple gossiping or journaling, blogs have become an easy and effective way to attract clients to businesses of every kind. Attorneys have established blogs mainly to create a buzz about their firm and areas of practice. This buzz becomes an instant marketing and advertising tool for their law firms. In fact, a popular legal blog can attract hundreds and even thousands of readers on a regular basis.
