Virtually all search tools – whether for legal research, e-discovery review, document review, or anything else – are confined to indexes. Every word in every case or contract or email or whatever is fed into an index, and the search tool looks for that word or some combination of indexed words.

Sooner or later, every lawyer in solo or small firm practice asks themselves whether they should create a law firm website — or how long they can put it off. Given all the unknowns — cost, scope, disruption — they may wonder whether launching a law firm website is really necessary, especially if they already have a robust digital presence. Maybe you have started by claiming a free Google business profile for your law firm and using social media to connect with potential clients.

After doing your research on trends in lawyer billing rates, you’ve decided to raise your own rates. It can feel uncomfortable. Some of us are reluctant to charge what we are really worth or feel bad about increasing rates for longtime clients.
