Recommendation

Benjamin W. Glass III offers a marketing manual for attorneys who are starting their own practices or seeking a refresher in law firm marketing. Glass provides a big picture overview of lawyer marketing: Be different, develop a unique selling proposition, write a book to establish yourself as an expert, and the like. Glass also offers chapters by specialist guest authors who address particular marketing strategies. This approach gives you an insider scoop on each channel. However, you may feel that instead of teaching you, Glass is selling you professional services. Nevertheless, if you want to upgrade your law practice’s marketing, getAbstract recommends Glass’s solid manual; he provides succinct advice professional practitioners in other fields can easily adapt.
