In this podcast, Richard offers advice on how your practice will be affected by the CoronaVirus. He reminds listeners of the importance of flexibility in the face of the CoronaVirus, advising criminal attorneys, for example, who focus solely on DUIs to consider opening themselves up to general criminal defense and/or looking into expungements.
He establishes that actually the need for lawyers will go up and explains why for several practice areas, including:
Criminal Defense: because of the closer quarters, domestic violence cases will most likely be on the rise. Furthermore, job losses may increase crimes.
Family Law: again, because of the stress and increased time together, divorces may be on the rise.
Estate Planning: because of the CoronaVirus, more estates will have to be administered and this may engender more conflicts.
He touches on additional practice areas and also tell listeners about the changing competitive landscape for lawyers normally dependent on in-office selling of their services. To help listeners up their phone-selling game, Speakeasy has developed a program on video chatting. The program will be released Monday, March 23rd. It includes some great video-conferencing innovations, e-signing, and docu-signing techniques, and information about speak-a-book.

I’ve come to understand the unique challenges in marketing ethically and effectively that attorneys face because I have:

Helped hundreds of attorneys successfully navigate Google’s search algorithm changes, growing their websites from 2 potential clients calling a month to 4+ calls per DAY for some clients.
Interviewed and promoted over 507 attorneys nationwide, in practice areas such as:
DUI / DWI
Family Law
Criminal Defense
Bankruptcy
Auto Accidents
Social Security Disability
Slip & Falls (Premises Liability)
Real Estate
Estate Planning / Probate
Wage and Hour Claims
