Your website's search function probably sucks

by Dan Jaffe April 11, 2010

Want to take a perfectly good DUI attorney website and make it suck a bit more? I've got an easy solution for you: Add a site search function.

If your website has fewer than several thousand pages, there should be no reason to have a search box… at least not if the site is well-organized and easy to navigate. In fact, in my humble opinion, it borders on webmaster malpractice and is a lame substitute for a steady and intuitive navigation structure.

Phone calls versus web form leads

by Dan Jaffe March 15, 2010

In my ten years of DUI practice, I got upwards of 95% of my DUI clients from the internet. Year in and year out one truth consistently confirmed itself as an immutable law of the internet. More good potential clients call than complete web-based forms.

Don't forget about Yahoo and Bing

by Dan Jaffe March 8, 2010

But it is essential to have a web presence even if you get all of your business through word of mouth, networking and referrals.

Link Spam: Lawyers commit fraud online every day

by Dan Jaffe March 7, 2010

Would you hire a lawyer who has been suspended from practice multiple times for trying the same unethical and ineffective tricks, and then allow that lawyer to employ the same tactics in representing you?
