This week, members of the Amicus Creative team will be headed to the Illinois State Bar Association's Solo and Small Firm Conference held in Itasca, IL. The three day event features a handful of programs to educate attendees on practical information and provide expert technical training that they can put to work immediately. At Amicus Creative, we are also in the business of providing attorneys with resources to build more profitable practices which is why we're thrilled to be exhibiting at this great event. If you are in attendance, we encourage you to visit our booth to learn more about our unparalleled marketing tools. The “ISBA Solo & Small Firm” mobile app is also available to attendees and features our listing with two special reports packed with marketing tips. We encourage you to download the app and review these great resources. We hope to see you very soon!

At Amicus Creative, we don’t just deliver tools to help you propel your practice, we provide educational resources so you have a strong foundation for ongoing success. In the weeks ahead, we have two great events scheduled. These webinars are open to all members of the legal community, not just Amicus Creative clients.

As we head into Labor Day Weekend, everyone is trying to sneak in those last minute vacations before the kids head back to school and business picks up once more. While we had a great summer filled with lots of sun and some gorgeous beach days, our work weeks were far from slow. In fact, since Memorial Day Weekend, we’ve launched over 30 new websites for attorneys throughout the country! We wanted to share just a handful of these great sites and show you how we spent the dog days of summer.

Volin & Swartz, a Mesa, AZ estate planning law firm 

Raymond Iryami Law Firm, a NYC practice specializing in corporate law, commercial litigation, and healthcare law

Russo Law Group, a Miami appellate law firm

Barbrack Law Firm, a Princeton, NJ collaborative divorce lawyer

Fitzgerald Campbell, a CA credit card lawsuit defense and collection harassment firm

Fuller & Fuller LLP, a NYC business immigration law firm

The Law Offices of Mark Raymond McDonald, an Irvine, CA criminal defense lawyer

Pozzuolo Rodden, P.C., a Philadelphia business & estate planning and family law firm

We also held a number of great educational webinars including one on “Converting Website Visitors into Leads.” If you missed this great presentation, you can watch it, and others, for free now by visiting our Webinar on Demand page.

In order to gauge whether or not your law firm’s website is truly effective, you must have insight into visitor behavior.  What are prospective clients doing when they come to your site? Does one page have a particularly high exit rate? Knowing this kind of valuable information can help you to identify problems within your site and make changes to improve your online marketing strategy.   Google Analytics is a free service which tracks activity on your site. We highly recommend that all law firms utilize this tool but as anyone who has ever used this service can attest, there is a lot of information to comprehend and for many, it can be overwhelming.

Over the past few weeks our schedule has been jam-packed; we’ve been hard at work forming new partnerships with various organizations throughout the legal community, have held two successful webinars for the legal community on SEO and Google Analytics, and our development team has been working on dozens of new websites for firms across the country. Here are just a few of the great sites that we’ve launched in the month of April:

Katz and Matz, PC - New York City Real Estate Attorneys

Hutton & Hutton Law Firm, LLC - Wichita, Kansas Personal Injury Law Firm

The Legal Center for Immigration and Naturalization Services, Inc - Coral Springs, FL Immigration Attorneys

Law Offices of Patricia A. Gainer Gaddis - Ft. Lauderdale Family Law Attorney

We have no plans of slowing down in the weeks ahead so stay tuned for more announcements. For the most up-to-date news on what’s happening in and around the Amicus Creative offices, please follow us on Twitter (@amicuscreative).
