Does PR Actually Work for Lawyers?

CHICAGO - Oct. 17, 2018 - PRLog -- If you're reading this, then clearly Public Relations ("PR") for lawyers can work. I'm a retired attorney and I wrote this press release myself through my new marketing firm for lawyers, Deviant Marketing.

PR used to be only for huge companies sending Press Releases to – you guessed it – the press. Typically, a press release would contain some significant news, like a new product being launched or a new CEO taking the helm. And of course, most of this was inaccessible to lawyers. The problem is that lawyers haven't invented any new products since before Abraham Lincoln was making closing arguments and our companies aren't big enough for most journalists to care who's our newest managing partner.

So what can we do?

We need to understand that the rules have changed and that we can actually be shockingly effective at handling PR ourselves.

How?

The internet. Press releases can be issued directly by business that are meant to talk to potential clients, not journalists. These press releases get picked up by any number of online news sources and are then indexed for your firm in Google and other search engines. Take a look at this press release issued for my old law firm: https://prn.to/2PatnBy. It's a beautiful article about me being named one of the Top 10 Attorneys in Illinois. And I should know it's beautiful endorsement of me, I WROTE IT! And if you search for NuVorce, in the news about the firm, it always shows up in the first page.
