The saying goes that “on the internet, nobody knows you’re a cat.”
While it’s unlikely that any of the websites you’ve read recently were written by cats, it is a truism that anyone could be writing any page you encounter online — even this one.
Over the last several years, law firm websites have grown larger and larger as firms seek to tackle a diverse range of subjects that might be of immediate value to their clientele.
However, many law firms pass on this job to legal assistants or to third-party writers whose legal research skills may not be comparable to those of senior attorneys. Plus, it is not necessarily the case that all articles are updated frequently as new legal information emerges.
Considering all of those factors, reading any law firm’s website should only be step one.
You should never take action in your case based upon anything that you read online, even if you read it on the very website of the firm that’s currently representing you. Only take action when you have consulted directly with senior attorneys who understand the case.
It’s a good idea for you to become informed by looking for general information online, but this is really only the start. You can discover whether or not a law firm will really work for you by making time to call an attorney directly and get his or her take on your situation.
Likewise, you should always compare two, three, or even more law firms before deciding on the right one for you. We want you to make an informed decision, no matter what you do decide.
