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?

Back in the 1990's, the search engines depended a lot on what was included in a web page's meta keyword tags. Meta keywords died off in importance long ago.

Dear DUI Attorney,
There are many aspects to an efficient internet strategy. If any of them are ignored, the whole strategy may be destined for mediocrity.There are more DUI attorney web pages in circulation than DUI attorney phone book ads, billboards, TV and radio commercials combined. If your website strategy is to "build it and forget it," then your strategy is likely doomed.In my decade of DUI defense practice, I was able to consistently rank well compared to my competitors because I make an effort to understand what I was doing rather than blindly copy others, and always searched for the next "gateway" opportunity. A lot of the web is guesswork, but there are some immutable laws and high probability plays that you ignore at your peril.
