In this time of economic uncertainty, we are all looking for ways to reduce our spending. For some, it may mean carpooling with a coworker. For others, it may mean cutting back on legal fees.

The worst thing you can do is shortchange yourself by sacrificing personal service for the sake of saving a quick buck. Court cases can, and will, irreversibly change your life if you are not prepared with effective legal representation. That is why I offer all potential clients, whether new or old, a FREE initial consultation.

The last thing that you want is to be charged a fee that is too high, without ever having the details of your case reviewed by a professional. That is why I offer a free initial consultation — to find out exactly what needs to be done to provide you with the very best service. The free initial consultation gives clients the chance to show me their paperwork, and to tell me, in their own words, exactly what happened to lead them to my office.

I want all potential clients to know that they will receive only the very best legal care with me. That is why I meet with all interested clients face-to-face at no charge, regardless of whether or not they choose to retain me. I know that a personal meeting seems like a rarity in this day and age, whether dealing with a company’s overseas customer service or a public defender so bogged down with cases that you never achieve that personal connection. A personal connection is something I strive to achieve with all of my clients, because if your lawyer does not care about your future, how can they convince a judge and jury to care?

Your money doesn’t grow on trees, and at Carey Law Offices, you have the opportunity to see the kind of expert legal representation you can get without ever having to pay a dime. To schedule an appointment, call us at 301-464-2500.

As with almost every other profession in existence, lawyers seem to have been caught blindsided by what an online presence has to offer. With the explosion of Web 2.0 material, like social networking, it becomes even harder for professionals still struggling to grasp what the Internet originally had to offer!

Where many professionals will continue to fail in the coming years is with the idea that social networking is simply an easy way to get free marketing. If an online profile is created with that sole idea in mind, it is doomed to fail because it misses the entire point of social networking. Web sites like Facebook and Myspace exist to create a stronger bond between friends new and old alike. But why not take that a step further?

Imagine all the times you or someone you know have asked friends for the name of a trusted lawyer through a status update or group message, knowing that you are relying on the experiences of your friends to shape the representation you ultimately end up with.

Now imagine if you had the opportunity to contact, and keep in touch with, a lawyer through the same social networking system. You have, right at your fingertips, access to a lawyer and their basic information. Telephone numbers, Web site information, even testimonials from actual clients. Rather than trust a Google search or a listing in the Yellow Pages, why not turn to Facebook for a more in-depth look at possible attorneys?

Not only does a Web site like Facebook allow you to find a lawyer, it also gives you the opportunity to continue to keep in touch with them. It eliminates the need to have to search through paperwork for your attorney’s information if another legal matter arises in the future, and makes it easier than ever to recommend one to a friend.

As the online world continues to shift and change, which really leaves most professionals on an even playing field, I have decided that this is the perfect time to take my practice to the next level and incorporate social networking. I want my clients to rest easy and know that they will always have my information right at their fingertips.
