Announcements

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.

This Saturday members of the Amicus Creative team will be on hand at the New Jersey State Bar Association’s Solo and Small Firm Conference in Morristown. Founded by an attorney at a small law firm, Amicus Creative has always had a keen understanding of the marketing challenges endured by solo practitioners and small firm attorneys. To address these unique concerns, we’ve created a comprehensive online marketing system that allows firms to streamline their marketing efforts and cut costs. As an Affinity Partner of the New Jersey State Bar Association, all members receive a 15% discount on the setup fees of a comprehensive website. If you will be in attendance, we encourage you stop by our table to meet our team and learn more about our industry-leading online marketing tools designed to propel your practice.

At Amicus Creative Media, the vast majority of our clients are solo practitioners and small law firms with fewer than ten attorneys. We know first-hand the challenges and time limitations that come with working in a small firm which is why we’re so pleased to be co-hosting a webinar on 03/18/2014 on outsourcing to support services. This webinar will be led by Kris Canaday, founder of Integrative Legal Support. Kris has more than 15 years' experience in the legal field and has dedicated several of those to providing expert paralegal services to overworked law offices.

In this webinar, you’ll learn what to look for and what to consider so you can confidently secure support services that will help you regain a work/life balance and move your practice to the next level. This event is free to all members of the legal community. Register online! 

Amicus Creative is thrilled to be a new Member Discount Provider of the Utah State Bar Association, extending a great discount to 10,000 attorneys and judges throughout the state.

As Thanksgiving nears, and people all over the country travel to celebrate with loved ones, we wanted to take a few moments to reflect on the past year and the many things that we’re thankful for this Thursday and every other day that we get to do the work we love so very much.

Among our clients and colleagues in the legal industry, we are known for being a small company that is absolutely fanatical about providing white glove support. Over the past year, we’ve had the great opportunity to add to the Amicus Creative family both in terms of the number of attorneys we work with and our own team of marketing professionals, growing our client service, sales, design, development and SEO teams (you can meet them here). These additions haven’t taken away from our small firm feel; in fact, they’ve allowed us to provide even better service to the attorneys we serve. We know our own growth wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for the support of our amazing clients, and they make us want to come to work every day so we can continue to help them propel their practices to new heights.

Our Insight in Motion library, and the number of e-newsletters our clients send out each month, has tripled meaning more referrals and greater visibility for our firms. LegalVault continues to be a potent tool for the estate planning firms we serve, allowing them to provide tangible value to their clients while strengthening their top of mind marketing campaigns. We are so incredibly grateful that these firms, and their clients, continue to put their trust in us and rely on us for access to their most important documents 24/7/365. We take this responsibility very seriously, and we continue to make enhancements to improve the service, and ensure optimal security.

We’ve also had the great opportunity to partner with new professionals throughout the legal industry, and have teamed up with new bar associations across the country as a member benefit partner. Our growing network allows us to provide more value to our clients in the form of educational webinars, white papers, expert referrals and discounts and monthly publications filled with marketing tips.

Whether you are a client, partner or one of our faithful readers, we thank you for the role that you’ve played in our great success over the past year. We are so appreciative of your support, and we vow to continue to bring the same passion, dedication and expertise to legal marketing in the year ahead.

On behalf of the entire Amicus Creative team, we wish you a very happy Thanksgiving filled with great food and cherished time with loved ones!

As legal marketing specialists, we understand that you can’t develop an effective attorney website without a keen understanding of the ethical responsibilities required of legal professionals when it comes to advertising. It is this unique insight which has led us to become one of the leading online marketing firms for attorneys over the past few years.

In an effort to further our commitment to creating websites that resonate with clients, colleagues and prospective clients in an ethical manner, we’re pleased to introduce our Ethics Elephant. Our new mascot will accompany short notes placed throughout the Site Manager in hot button sections to remind attorneys of various ethical issues which should be considered. In high-risk sections, our clients will find the Elephant which they can then click on to view a note of warning and general guidelines on best practices to ensure compliance.

To learn more about our helpful ethics prompts and how our advanced attorney marketing system can help you make sure you’re following all the rules when it comes to your online advertising, please contact us today.
