Hi Marcus
ReplyDeleteI really don't agree with the findings here. I would say that most people still use referrals or previous dealings when finding lawyers. They might then check the firm out on Google. So I would have thought the piece of the pie for referrals should be a lot bigger, and the google-ling a little smaller. Maybe most of the 515 people asked worked for Google ;-)
What a load of crap. How about disclosing that Experthub owns Lawfirms.com? I've never heard of it before, and I've been in the legal field a long time . . .
ReplyDeleteYeah, no conumber would think of the url lawfirms.com much less 7% of them. Total crap!
