 FEATURED CLIENT: RHONDA NIELSEN

Starting Over, Establishing My Own Law Firm
By Rhonda Nielson, Esq.

In May 2002, I was faced with several difficult changes in my life, both personal and business. I was no longer with my prior Southern California law firm and was faced with the daunting task of launching a new law firm from scratch. After some research, I became convinced that I could get my name out far more quickly and affordably through the Internet than through traditional marketing and networking methods. My goals were ambitious. I wanted a dominant Web presence within six months.

(Summary) I am pleased to report that we took in 25 new Workers’ Compensation cases in May 2003.  That is approximately our average now.  Our lowest month was during the Iraq crisis.  We only took in 15.  We had one killer month before that where we took in 40!  We also get personal injury cases, of which 11 or 12 per month that are good enough to sign up.
