Press Release Summary = Many law firms choose not to advertise. However even if
advertising is not been a part of their firm, they may want to consider building an
internet presence.

Press Release Body = Advertising is a relatively recent development in the legal
profession. Not all firms advertise it is advisable for every law firm to take note
of the important resource the internet has become to consumers seeking services.
Even among lawyers and firms that chose not to advertise, the importance of the
internet as a consumer resource should not be overlooked. An internet presence can
give a law firm more credibility. It is a non-intrusive way for a law firm to begin
building trust with potential clients.

A law firm with its own website can accomplish a number of things. Most people
conducting a random search for an attorney are not certain of the law regarding
their problem, and concerned about cost. Moreover, there exists today a widespread
skepticism about attorneys, especially among the uninitiated. A website can ease
some of those uncertainties, and thus invite contact from the potential client.

The website can describe the firm\'s areas of legal focus. It acts as an educational
tool, explaining the basics of selected areas of law and suggesting some initial
steps for the potential client. Eventually the client will end up in a lawyer\'s
office somewhere, so providing some initial online education will give the law firm
a benign and positive first impression. See http://www.aalnetwork.com for more
information.

As with other forms of media, defense and personal injury attorneys are the most
likely to be found using the web as an advertising service. Most law firms with
other sorts of specialties that use hosted websites tend to be a little more subtle,
stressing the firm\'s longevity or stability, its successes and perhaps providing
biographies of the firm\'s principal members.

There are at least four national listing services for personal injury attorneys, and
others for family law, criminal law and so forth.
