I have been a Findlaw customer for over four years now. When I first started my relationship with FindLaw, it was a modest Template site, yet I felt that if provided better results at a much better value than my telephone directory and yellow page adds. It was obvious to me that FindLaw was where I should place my marketing dollars.
I upgraded my site and invested in some recommendations made by my local FindLaw consultant, Walt Brown. Most significantly I saw an increase quality of potential clients finding me on the web. I spent much less time on the telephone speaking to individuals looking for free advice, or the cheapest attorney they could find, and much more time speaking to true potential clients. I've since upgraded my site again, working to develop a more specialized, statewide practice and have been thrilled with the results. FindLaw and their proven expertise have literally helped me change my practice.
Choosing FindLaw and Walt as my web site provider has proven to be a great decision for my criminal law practice. My optimized website consistently ranks high in the various search engines for the searches I want to be found for, leading to a steady stream of prospective calls and emails. Walt Brown is an extremely talented and helpful "sales person". I've been pleasantly surprised by the high quality personal service Walt provides. I place quotes around sales, because Walt is around whenever I have questions or concerns and does not disappear after the "sale". He brings me ideas, and has a tremendous amount of knowledge and his recommendations have always resulted in increased revenue for my firm. I'd highly recommend him to any other attorney, outside the Criminal practice area, of course, that wants results from their site.

I have been practicing law for over 30 years. Until recent years, my business primarily came from referrals and word of mouth. A few years back, my son built a website for my firm, and soon after that, around 2003, we entered into our relationship with FindLaw.
Our firms' website has proven to be a great way for referred clients, most of which are checking out 3-5 other referred attorneys, to Validate and select the attorney they will hire. FindLaw has provided our firm the ability to consistently, "Win", these online evaluations.
I first met Walt Brown, our FindLaw consultant, a little over four years ago. It was not until I met Walt that I truly understood how the Search Optimization performed on my site, could really benefit my firm. Walt took the time (and lots of it) to thoroughly and patiently explain the importance of proper website construction, its relationship to the internet, and the keys to placement and positioning of the website on the various search engines. Walt also showed how articles I'd written in the past could be placed on our site, resulting in high quality traffic from potential clients with very specific legal needs.
This has resulted in a site that generates significant revenue for our firm and with my understanding of how all this works, has enabled our firm to more successfully target niche areas to develop new clients. Walt has consistently shown me he truly cares about the success of our Internet presence and is extremely knowledgeable, conscientious and he always does what it takes to help us succeed. He and Findlaw are the best.

Not all websites are created equal and not all websites generate results. I know both of those facts from personal experience, having done sites with a respected provider of such services to attorneys, followed by my own site, done by a local web development company which not only did not perform well, it also caused us problems resulting in a change to yet another provider which solved the problems, and improved the site but did not increase our contacts. These marketing initiatives, generated contacts and some new clients but not really enough to justify the expenses incurred and the time spent.
Back in 2005 when we first met and you persuaded me to begin my relationship with FindLaw through an initial purchase of a few FindLaw TopSpots, Walt, I must tell you I was skeptical to say the least but I got a pleasant surprise as calls began to come in, both from the TopSpots and from those who clicked on the link to our website. The traffic these products generated has resulted in consistently higher quality contacts and new clients for my firm.
Walt, with your persistent and enthusiastic pursuit of my website business coupled with the success I saw in the directory products discussed earlier, I decided to switch my firms' website over to FindLaw in the fall of 2007. With the change made, my firm has gone from low visibility on the Net, not being found regularly by many of the Search Engines - to being found consistently in the searches done on Google, Yahoo and MSN for my specific practice areas. It is far too early too tell if we are an overwhelming success but the early signs are VERY GOOD!
My experience with both FindLaw and with you, Walt has been very positive in all respects, from the early TopSpots to the ongoing support for my site, coupled with your invaluable knowledge of what is happening in the local legal community, your persistence, Internet knowledge and expertise. It has been a good partnership. You and FindLaw have truly been assets for my firm.
I now have a site that more correctly reflects my firm, generates consistent high quality contacts and has generated positive comments from clients, potential clients and even other attorneys finding me through Internet searches. If I encounter anyone looking for a knowledgeable, straight forward Internet consultant for their firm, I will highly recommend that they contact "Walt Brown". I'm very glad we made contact and I look forward to working with you in the years to come.

I have been thrilled with the service and results I have received from Walt and the entire implementation team at FindLaw. They have made what was a very difficult and challenging undertaking for me, appear effortless and with outstanding finished results.
The entire process of getting my website up and running has been pleasant, from talking to Walt about what I was trying to achieve, to working with the Writer, Designer and Search Optimization team up in Egan and the other folks at FindLaw to develop the content for my site. The writers were able to take what I provided to them during our Initial Call over the phone and work it into a website that not only looks very professional, but really portrays who I am and the kind of image I want clients to have of me. I wholeheartedly recommend FindLaw for creating legal websites. The high level of personal service I've received from Walt and the entire FindLaw team is an unexpected added value.
An even better recommendation for FindLaw's services is the fact that before my website had even launched; I was getting clients through my Directory Products with FindLaw. FindLaw really works to generate clients.
If you are looking to successfully implement an Internet marketing program, it would be worth your time to give Walt a call. I found him very knowledgeable, attentive to my goals and helpful in sorting out the "web industry jargon" that can be so confusing when not dealing with this on a daily basis. He took the time to show me exactly what makes an Internet Presence successful, and then delivered on that for me.
I became a lawyer to practice law. Working with FindLaw allows me to spend my time doing that and not worrying about marketing my firm.
