Chapter
2:
Why Social Media Is Gaining Traction with Lawyers
9
1.
Lawyers have long recognized the value of networking, and
social media enhances their ability to do so effectively.
9
2.
Social media is leveling the playing field and expanding access
to a wider variety of law firms at a time when corporate clients
are seeking alternatives to large firms.
10
3.
Upheaval in the legal profession combined with the changing
lawyer is accelerating lawyers adoption of social media.
10

services through virtual law firms.

Chapters: Busting the Legal Profession s Ten Myths of Social Media
15
1.
There s no point in using social media in my practice because
none of my target clients use it.
15
2.
Social media is undignified for lawyers.
16
3.
Social media is a waste of time
—
I don t want to learn about
Joe s breakfast on Twitter or read about Jane s kids on Facebook.
17
4.
My colleagues and clients will think that I have too much time
on my hands if they see me blogging or tweeting all the time.
17
5.
I ve heard stories of clients trying to friend their lawyers on
Facebook, or worse, writing negative reviews of them at client
rating sites. I d rather avoid that kind of thing altogether.
18
6.
Social media is simply too time consuming for a busy lawyer
like me.
19
7.
I m a gregarious person and prefer to meet others face-to-face.
With social media, I ll be stuck behind a computer screen
24-7. 20
8.
If I give away free advice through blogging or responding to
questions at directory sites, why would anyone hire me?
Plus, what s to prevent competitors from stealing my content?
21
9.
I ve thought about getting onboard with social media, but it
seems that it s already dominated by people with thousands of
followers. It s going to take too much time to play catch-up.
21
10.
My teenager can teach me everything I need to know about
social media.
