Law School is a Go!
By TLS | April 11, 2008
I found out today that I was accepted to the UNLV Boyd School of Law, so I will be starting law school in the fall. I’m looking forward to the challenge of learning the law and I know it will be a rewarding experience.
Now that I know I will be attending law school I suspect that I will gradually begin to devote more of my consulting efforts towards law firm marketing and law firm seo as perfecting my skills in these areas will bode well for me as a future attorney.
Let the fun begin!

UNLV Boyd School of Law U.S. News Ranking
By TLS | April 6, 2008
Congratulations to the UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law for jumping from 100 to 88 in the U.S. News and World Report rankings of the nations best law schools. It’s great to see the school continue to gain recognition on its merits at such a staggering pace. It’s hard to believe the school has only been around for 10 years.
According to an article in the Las Vegas Sun about the Boyd School ranking, it appears that tuitioin for residents will more than double in the next couple of years. That seems like a huge hike to me and can only be justified if there are tangible world class upgrades for the school on the horizon.

No Longer the Poor Man’s Party
By TLS | April 5, 2008
My first recollection of politics was when I was about eight years old. Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter were contending for the presidency. Reagan was a smooth talking, charismatic, superstar Republican Governor from California, and Carter was the politically troubled (mostly due to the oil crisis) southern incumbant Democrat. I didn’t really understand anything about politics at the time. I just remember Carter’s smile seemed to be all teeth and Reagan seemed to be on fire.
I remember asking my grandmother what the difference was between Republican and Democrat. With all conviction she said:
The Republicans are the rich man’s party; The Democrats are the poor man’s party.
My grandparents were die-hard democrats, all blue through and through. That simple definition stuck with me for years and years. It created the lens through which I viewed politics. I decided at an early age that if the Republican party was for the rich then I was going to be a Replublican. Grandma’s definition also made sense to me in terms of social policy. The poor man’s party was surely more interested in Big Government, entitlements, and social welfare programs. The rich man’s party was inclined to cut taxes, shrink programs, and rely on good old fashioned capitalism.
But that was around 1980. The definition doesn’t hold true any more. Gone are the days when the average man can be successful in politics. It takes loads of money to make it - especially in the highest posts like the Senate and the Presidency.
I was prompted to write this post based on the recent news coverage of the Clinton’s financials. The Clintons earned over $109 million in the past eight years. Incredible. I knew they were raking in the millions, but I admit I was a little surprised at the magnitude of their earnings.
The Democratic Party is no longer the poor man’s party. Not by a long shot.

Nevada DUI Attorney Website
By TLS | March 17, 2008
I built a Nevada DUI attorney site for Sprenz & Associates a while ago. This site specifically addresses the area of DUI defense and Nevada DUI law. This Nevada DUI attorney site is called www.NevadaDUIAttorney.net. The design is similar to another Nevada attorney site I built for them. It is obviously another great domain name choice. That is always a plus. The content is good and does a nice job of educating the visitor while containing the necessary keywords throughout the text.
The site has already been indexed by search engines and has begun to drive new clients to the law practice. I am happy to see the success of this and the other Nevada attorney sites I have worked on.

Nevada Law Firm Marketing
By TLS | March 16, 2008
Lately I have been considering whether or not to focus my efforts full time on law firm marketing. My consulting practice clientele has been diverse over the years and has included business professionals of all types. So why would I consider focusing my efforts on law firm marketing? Let’s see…
Why law firm marketing?
Nevada Law Firm Marketing Success
As an SEO / Interactive Marketing Consultant I help many clients build their online presence. Fortunately, I have found considerable success for my Nevada attorney client. I have designed several attorney websites and have created and managed search marketing campaigns and organic search engine optimization (SEO) campaigns for law firms. The success I have had is encouraging and is giving me the itch to focus on it full time.
Marketing Professional and Attorney
I am an interactive marketing consultant now, but I may be returning to school to pursue a law degree in the near future. If that happens I will become an attorney in a few years. As a future attorney it makes sense to focus on law firm marketing and perfect my skills in that area.
Nevada Attorneys Need Help with Interactive Marketing
Actually, this is true for attorneys everywhere - not just Nevada attorneys. But since I live in Nevada I see the need more acutely around me. I look at law firm websites almost daily. While I do find some to be very well done, I most often find attorney websites to be poorly coded, difficult to read, lacking in quality content, deficient in SEO, and the list goes on… In today’s environment it is absolutely imperative to have a functional, well-made website. The site should reflect the professionalism of the firm it represents. I personally review the website of any professional I consider hiring and would most definitely do so if considering whether to hire a Nevada attorney, and I believe more and more potential law clients do the same. Additionally, not only can a quality law firm website reflect the professionalism of the firm it represents, but it can also become a revenue generator, adding new clients to a law firm’s client base regularly.
Interactive Marketing for Nevada Attorneys and Law Firms
I love helping all types of clients with their online interactive marketing needs. I think I will continue to do so, but I will most likely nudge my practice more and more towards law firm marketing. If you are an attorney and need help with your website, search marketing (pay-per-click / cost-per-click), search engine optimization (SEO), or any other aspect of your online web presence, please contact me today. I would be glad to discuss my online consulting services with you. You can find more about my interactive marketing consulting services at my site here: 2S Marketing - Interactive Marketing
