On Tuesday, October 28, 2008, we had our first meeting of legal marketing group, Legally Blawged. It was attended by about 25 people.
Legally Blawged was formed by Pete Cavanaugh, Mike Hamblin and myself. We are three attorneys who met over the internet during this past summer. We all blog and have had wonderful experiences doing so. Our blogs have helped a number of people on issues related to our law practices. Just as important, our blogs have increased our visibility on the ‘net and have increased our practices with new clients.
At our meeting, we had dinner, held a panel discussion about blogging and why it is so important for lawyers to blog. We held a q and a session afterwords and actually inspired several attorneys to begin blogging. We are excited about planning our next dinner meeting.
We are looking for more Michigan attorneys to join us. If you have an interest in blogging, call me, Gary Nitzkin, at (248) 353-2882.
