A Bigger 2014 – Spare the clichés about the changing online marketing arena and the new ways people look for a lawyer; the shift from phone books to web browsers has been happening for decades.Get Your Kicks in Issue 26As I listened to our team members exchange ideas two years ago, I realized that we had an agglomeration of legal marketing expertise. I wanted to publish it and share real, useful information without excessive…

Marital status affects more than a thousand separate federal statutes. In this month’s “Future of Law” commentary, Brendan Conley breaks down the recent developments in same-sex marriage law after the end of DOMA Section 3. From taxes to divorce repercussions, Conley analyzes the new landscape for LGBT couples and for their legal needs.

Kristen Friend teaches readers “How to: Avoid Helicopter Branding” to determine when patience and distance are the only new strategies your marketing needs. Give your choices time to produce meaningful statistics and focus on your own work (not your toughest competitor’s), and you’ll reap far greater rewards.

Justin Torres predicts that “Wearable Tech is Coming”. He reveals the pros and cons of popular gadgets that can improve your life and career from your wrist (and even eyes).

According to guest contributor Diane Dean-Epps, there’s no excuse for a “blah-blah” blog. In “Get Your (Blogger) Gears Going”, Dean-Epps shows readers how to conquer blogging fears and maximize the potential of this valuable marketing and outreach tool.

Yelp isn’t just for espresso anymore. Cara M. Tucker advises readers to let your past work speak for itself on both law-specific sites (like Avvo.com) with mainstream giants (like Yelp). “Law Reviews of a Different Kind” tackles the strategies and ethics you need to encourage online feedback from your happiest clients.

Barbara Atkinson encourages legal professionals to “Get On the Big Ride” with Google Carousel. This image-heavy, locally tailored bar is replacing listings in some search results, so learn about the reviews, photos and unique content your firm needs in order to ride.

Does your firm suffer from “Document Overload?” With the right DMS, you can protect your work against catastrophe, boost office collaboration and even provide yourself with relevant documents automatically. Kerrie Spenser balances the details, perks and drawbacks of the two document management systems that offer lawyers the most flexibility today.

Finally, Christopher Kazor (www.nusurance.com) prepares readers for the unexpected costs associated with a professional liability suit in “Choosing and Mastering Professional Liability Insurance.” Kazor shops for Legal Professional coverage with readers — choosing a carrier licensed instate and an appropriate defense limit, while still tailoring coverage to suit a firm’s area of expertise.
