Announcements

Each year, the Web Marketing Association holds its annual WebAwards, evaluating websites across 96 different industries. Each site is reviewed by 3 or more judges evaluating a number of site components including design, innovation, technology and ease of use. We’re so pleased to announce that four websites developed by Amicus Creative were recognized in this year’s competition!

The following websites received awards for “Legal Standard of Excellence”:

TrustBuilders Law Group

Manos & Associates, P.L.

Pozzuolo Rodden, P.C.

The site for Attorney Allan Weinberg received an award for “Outstanding Website” which is awarded to industry-leading sites that receive an impressive score of at least 60 points (out of a possible 70).

While just four of our clients’ sites took home awards this year, we know that all 800 firms that we serve are winners, working hard to deliver high quality information to their clients and colleagues, and we’re so grateful to share in their successes each and every day! 

If you’re like most attorneys, you’ve probably been approached by an SEO consultant about  search engine marketing (SEM) or pay per click (PPC) campaigns which they claim can help to generate high-quality leads for your firm in a matter of days. While the promise of new business can be alluring, these campaigns can be incredibly costly and, if not executed correctly, they can decimate your marketing budget and generate underwhelming results. In a few weeks, we will be hosting a webinar on search engine marketing and whether it is worth the investment for your law practice.

During the presentation, we’ll explore:

• The key components of a successful campaign
• Budget and CPC
• Setting reasonable goals
• Conversions and measuring effectiveness
• Going at it alone or hiring professional assistance

This event is free for all legal professionals. Register online.

We have a lot of joyous moments at Amicus Creative Media: having a new attorney join the Amicus Creative family, watching the firms we work with grow and of course, launching a new website. This summer was truly a great season of highs and we got to experience all of the above; most notably, we launched 50 new websites! Now it’s not the number that gets us excited, it’s the fact that 50 practices have incredible websites that will allow them to connect with prospective clients, colleagues and current clients, and help them build a powerful web presence. 

Below you’ll find a small sampling of some of our summer launches:

Borowsky & Hayes LLP, a San Francisco Business & Civil Litigation Firm: borowsky.com

Kirkpatrick Law Firm ,  Palm Beach, FL Estate Planning & Employment Attorneys:  palmbeachflattorney.

Each year, Inc. compiles a list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. We are so pleased to announce that Amicus Creative Media made the 2014 list, coming in at #507! We are so grateful to all of our amazing clients and partners who have supported us along the way.

As much of the Northeast and Midwest thawed out from a VERY long winter, the Amicus Creative team was hard at work launching new sites for over 40 law firms! The development process of a new site is always an amazing experience – we have the opportunity to learn more about a firm and work as a team to bring their vision to life. The most exciting time, however, comes on the day we launch a new site knowing that the firm has unlimited potential to build a powerful web presence and the ultimate vehicle to drive this campaign.

Below you’ll find a few of the great new websites that we developed, and launched, this spring:

Cohen Family Law in Phoenix, AZ: CohenFamilyLaw.com

NYC Attorney Michael J. Redenburg: MJRLaw-NY.com

Child Safety Law, A Division of Sawicki & Lauten, L.L.P : ChildSafetyLaw.com 

Little Rock Estate Planning Firm Hyden, Miron & Foster, PLLC.: HMFLaw.net

After a brutal winter with one too many snow days and bitterly cold temperatures, many people across the country have welcomed this April with open arms and a giant sigh of relief. At Amicus Creative Media, we always celebrate this month. Seven years ago, we opened our doors, vowing to create effective attorney websites and today we can proudly say that we’ve done just that, helping over 750 law firms build a powerful online presence. While we certainly weren’t the first to build legal sites, we were the first to build everything from our streamlined development process to our comprehensive content management system and our approach to unparalled white glove service with one main goal in mind - to make online marketing more efficient for the firms we serve.

As we reflect on the past few years, we’re so very grateful to all of the clients, colleagues and partners who have helped us spread the word and show the legal industry how website development should be done. And while we’re proud of the work we’ve done, and more importantly what our clients have accomplished, we will never be the type of company that rest on its laurels. In the months ahead, you can be sure that we will continue to add to our extensive content library, further enhance our interactive site tools and develop even more resources to help attorneys take their practices to new heights. Here’s to another wonderful 7 years!

Spring is finally here and with that comes Immigration Awareness Month. This April, we wanted to celebrate and show our appreciation for all the hardworking immigration attorneys that we have the opportunity to serve. I recently had the pleasure to sit down with one of these attorneys, Renée J. Tello, and ask her a couple of questions about her remarkable immigration law practice and the inner workings of her New York City law firm.

At Amicus Creative, we work with hundreds of attorneys across the country, showcasing the good work that they do to better the profession and help individuals throughout their communities. We always relish in the opportunity to celebrate these attorneys, and with April here, we are turning our attention to Immigration and Bankruptcy Attorneys. You see this month is both Immigration Awareness and Financial Literacy Month - a time when professionals across a multitude of industries come together to educate the public.

For most attorneys, much of the knowledge and insight that they share is done through writing, speaking engagements and increasingly through their websites. We provide firms with a plethora of tools to build comprehensive online marketing campaigns to educate and engage clients, colleagues and prospective clients. Throughout the month, we will be celebrating attorneys in these specialties with a number of client spotlight posts and the ultimate website giveaway. We will also be sharing tips and strategies to help you increase online exposure. Connect with us on social media to receive these updates and check back here for weekly posts. 

In 2007, Amicus Creative was founded by Fred Cohen, an attorney who was frustrated with the different options available to market his trusts and estates practice online. Today, Fred continues to serve as our CEO, leading our team of developers, marketing consultants, designers and client service representatives. On March 26th, he will host a webinar where he will share some of his expert tips for success and what he has learned during his career as a practicing attorney and leader in the legal marketing industry. In this fast paced presentation, he will explore simple actions that attorneys often overlook when developing an effective website and powerful online presence. Learn more and register online.
