As I look for bargains on the Internet, on this Cyber Monday, it occurred to me that I haven't really participated in outdoor shopping for a long time, even pre COVID 19. We have become a nation of Internet shoppers, and the only way for a retailer to survive is email marketing, and online selling. But, has the Internet economy and a pandemic had an effect on other professions. Of course. Lawyers are affected also, and solos without an established practice are also hard hit. Any lawyer without a significant online presence is having trouble delivering legal services. Looking for a job requires persistence, and luck. For those of us looking for alternative employment, there are opportunities.
Significant on-line presence? Depends what you mean. I have learned that most of the pieces of work I get on line are garbage or are people looking for free advice because they think everything on the Internet is free. I prefer referrals from current clients or financial advisors to any person Googling my practice area or clicking on lawyers.com.
If by online presence you mean communicating and delivering documents by email, who has not done that since 2000?
