Re: Marketing/ Sales to lawyers and law firms

No, I don't have a website that clients come to, submit information regarding
a case and then pass along that info to lawyers. What did I say in my post
that would give you that idea? I was just saying, you seem to have too many
irons in the fire and instead of trying to be a graphic designer, web designer
and marketing expert. You would probably be better off letting a professional
help you with your marketing and focus on your clients. You are a lawyer,
correct?
