Conversions: From a Phone Call to a Client

So a potential client has found your website and thought enough of what they read to call you. Your job now is to convert that caller into a client (if they fit your criteria). When the potential client calls you they will be judging you on how you present yourself on the phone, how well you answer their questions and if they feel comfortable with you enough to pay you to represent them in a legal capacity.

Lets look at these different areas:

1. Phone Presentation: When you answer the phone, do you sound like you just woke up or is your voice full of confidence? Do you answer in a professional manner, for example, Hello this is Joe Lawyer, how may I help you today? Or do you simply say hello like you are expecting a call from a friend?
2. Do you answer their questions: Are you giving direct answers to their questions or does it sound like you are trying to sell them on why they should hire you? People looking for an attorney typically have a life altering event occurring and they need to speak with a true professional that they feel can help guide them through their turbulent times.
3. Do you make them feel comfortable: You may be the first attorney they have called or the third. Your only job now is to make sure that (again, if they fit the criteria) WANT to hire you as their lawyer. You need to educate them, not sell them on how your experience can take them through the process.

These are just a few areas that everyone that deals with the public needs to understand when it comes to actually signing clients. Without those interpersonal skills you will struggle and not achieve the level of success you might be looking for.

The attorneys that I see as the most successful usually have the best interpersonal skills. There are a number of courses that individuals can take that will help. Dale Carnegie is one that comes to mind and is one that should be strongly considered.

If you are interested in a free evaluation of your phone skills please don't hesitate to call me at 303-947-1737 and we can sit down and figure out how to best market your services once the potential client actually calls you.

Top 5 Negative Factors

Top 5 Negative Factors

I've decided to touch on some negative SEO techniques that can be done and why to reconsider using them. This is not my content. I often refer to SEOMoz to learn more about Search Engine techniques.

1. Server is Often Inaccessible to Bot: If they can't crawl your new content then others are at an advantage by being crawled first. Plus if a server is down often search engines may not want to send visitors to that site as much.
2. Content Very Similar or Duplicate of Existing Content in the Index: Can affect visibility and/or indirectly affect ranking by splitting inlink value, depending on the nature of the "duplicate".
3. External Links to Low Quality/Spam Sites: Linking out to a low quality neighbourhood flags you as a resident of the same neighbourhood.
4. Duplicate Title/Meta Tags on Many Pages: Having duplicate titles on many pages severely limits the ranking ability of your pages, especially those in the long tail that will not have many inbound links. Those pages compete on internal links and title tag relevance, so its important to have a unique title on each page.
5. Overuse of Targeted Keywords (Stuffing/Spamming): Whatever method the SEs user to target stuffing, once a certain threshold is breached, the page in question gets flagged and some bad things could happen to your SE presence.

Inbound Links

There are 100's of components that make up a search engines algorithm which is what they use too determine a web site's rank based on a particular phrase.

I am going to discuss Inbound Links (links from one website to another) and why they are important.

Lets use our Way Back Machine and travel back to a time before Google. Larry Page, one of the founders of Google was looking for a way to organize the Internet. At that time, around 1995, the information was spread throughout the Internet but was very disorganized. Organizations like Yahoo or Excite! had rudimentary ranking criteria but nothing like we have post-Google. So Larry set to work and determined (very correctly) that links from other sites to a particular site was a vote of confidence or a validation of the content contained within that particular site., therefore he ranked those sites higher.

For example, if there are two sites about Abraham Lincoln, one has about 10 links from other sites and the other Lincoln site has 1,000 links, the site with 1,000 links will rank higher.

Linking back in the late 90's and the early of the 21st Century was much simpler. Any link would do. As time went on though, linking got much more sophisticated. It was just about any link anymore. Now what the search engines are looking for in regards to links are links that have high Page Rank value and relevancy. So, for law firms, the links that should be coming in to that site should be related to the Practice Area that the website focuses on.

And that is short explanation of how Inbound Links benefit websites. If you have questions please don't hesitate to call me at 303-947-1737

Insurance & the Importance of Proper Coverage by John Fuller

This is a blog posting by Attorney John R. Fuller of the Greater Denver Metro Area. Attorney Fuller is an experienced Personal Injury and Trial Attorney. I decided to post his blog on mine as well because I believe that the information he posted is too important to not be found online

Insurance is for YOU!!
Increasingly, Americans are purchasing sophisticated products via the Internet. This trend has resulted in many people purchasing products that they know little about and which ultimately fails to meet their needs. One such example is automobile insurance. The following is designed to help you understand what the various insurance products are and whether you need these products.

LIABILITY: Liability insurance covers losses sustained by the OTHER DRIVER when you cause an accident. Lots of people think when they have $25,000 to $250,000 of "coverage," that they have this much insurance for their family if an accident happens. This is not true. Liability insurance is required in all 50 states. The theory is that you must have coverage for an innocent victim that you negligently injure, but you are free to drive without coverage for yourself.

COMPREHENSIVE: Comprehensive, or "full coverage" is designed primarily to cover your vehicle and other property in the event that YOU or another authorized driver cause an accident. This coverage may also be used when someone else causes an accident and either doesn't have insurance or doesn't have enough insurance. But keep in mind: comprehensive insurance is for PROPERTY only, not injuries.

UM/UIM: Look to the left and right on your drive to work and ask yourself if the person you see looks like they have enough insurance. Call me crazy, but I don't trust the other guy to have enough insurance to cover myself and my family in an accident, and you shouldn't either. Studies have shown that as many as one in six drivers are uninsured. Even if you have great, high limits liability insurance, there may be no coverage for yourself and your family in the event of an accident. The solution is an insurance product called "UM/UIM" which stands for Uninsured or Under-insured Motorist Coverage. As the name implies, this coverage if for claims where the other driver either fails entirely to have insurance, or perhaps has only the state minimum for an accident that requires much more. If the other driver has insurance, that policy will pay first, but after that, you will be dealing directly with your company. Unlike the adversarial relationship you may encounter in dealing with the other driver's company, your insurance company has a duty of good faith when dealing with their own clients.

MEDPAY: Medpay is a small policy that is designed to cover the initial emergency medical expenses incurred in an accident for you or a covered passenger. It is not available for the other vehicle or passengers. While this of course means the other driver cannot make a claim against your Medpay policy, it also means that you must have this coverage on your own policy for yourself and your family. On January 1, 2009, Colorado now makes Medpay mandatory unless the consumer opts out. As mentioned above, when scrolling through the option screens online, be careful you don't opt out of this important coverage.

Insurance is for YOU!! Only you can protect your family when accidents happen, and accidents DO happen. Insurance is a complicated product. No two consumers are exactly the same. Before evaluating products like automobile insurance online, be sure you know exactly what each component covers. When in doubt, consult an old-fashioned agent. Many times, you will come out with a lower payment and better coverage. We also offer customers of our firm free insurance evaluations for life. Just call us and we can discuss your situation.

Bell & Pollock - Court Secrets, What They Won't Tell You In Court

Thank you to the Bell & Pollock Law Firm for compiling this list of Court Secrets. You can also link to the web page to learn more about these Court Secrets.

INSURANCE. The fact that a defendant is insured by a car insurance policy or liability insurance policy is not admissible in court. It is not usable in court and you can't even mention it in court, under most circumstances. Therefore, the following scenario exists:

1. There is an automobile accident.


2. A person is injured in a car/truck crash or collision.


3. The injured person attempts to settle for his/her injuries, damages and losses with the insurance company for the at-fault party.


4. The settlement cannot be reached and the injured person has to file a lawsuit in District Court to recover for his/her damages, injuries and losses.


5. During the trial, neither the plaintiff's attorney, nor the plaintiff, nor anyone on plaintiff's behalf can mention or bring up the word insurance or the fact that the at-fault party is insured or has insurance.


6. The overall point is that the jury is never told about insurance, is never told that the at-fault driver has insurance and is never told that there is an insurance company behind the at fault driver.


7. Jurors now have the opportunity to ask questions in court. They are usually given the opportunity after the attorneys examine each witness. The most usual and prevalent question is about insurance. The questions generally are something like this:
   A. "Is there insurance in this case?"B. "Does the defendant have car insurance?"C. "Is there any insurance covering anyone in this case?"D. "What insurance does the defendant have?"


8. There are very limited circumstances under which insurance can be mentioned.

As Bell & Pollock have stated on their radio show before, when you are a juror involved in a trial, or in trial in some other capacity, you often wonder whether or not there is "insurance" to cover the jury award, to cover the damages and to cover the amounts requested by the injured person, through their attorney. As a general rule, the word "insurance" cannot be mentioned in any capacity, in any way, in any form, during the trial or the Judge will declare a mistrial.

The insurance companies want you to basically believe that if the jury awards any money that the money is going to have to be paid personally by the Defendant. That's not true. Usually they want the jurors to feel sorry for the Defendant or engage in a mental process whereby the juror could not award money against this poor Defendant, like an 85 year old grandpa, or like a very young person. The truth is that insurance is behind most of these cases and it is relatively rare, in a personal injury case, that there is not insurance to cover all damages and losses. Sometimes what happens is that the insurance company will not offer a settlement on a fair and equitable basis. In a lot of instances, the insurance company refuses to even offer to pay the amount of the medical bills that the injured person has incurred. Therefore a trial has to be conducted in order to determine the amount of compensation that's to be awarded by the jury to the injured person. When "insurance" is not mentioned, then the "implied" thought is that the money is going to have to be paid by the Defendant who is being sued. That is not true as the insurance company pays not only for the judgment, not only for all compensatory damages ordered by the jury, but also for the attorney to represent the Defendant, and for any costs incurred in the case. In essence, the Defendant basically pays nothing out of pocket because the Defendant purchased insurance. You're just not told about insurance.

Insurance companies hire, and pay for, Defense Counsel, pay for the judgment rendered by the jury and pay for all costs associated with defending the Defendant. You are not told that the insurance company for the Defendant selects, hires and pays for the attorney representing the Defendant. The Defendant pays nothing in this regard. If a judgment is entered by the Court, on a jury verdict, the insurance company for the Defendant pays the judgment. The Defendant who is being sued pays nothing. If there are any costs involved in the case, like expert witnesses, and so called "independent" medical examination doctors (doctors who testify regularly on behalf of insurance companies) these "costs" are paid for by the insurance company. The Defendant pays for nothing. Insurance companies make all the decisions as to the amount of money that is going to be paid, offered in settlement, or not offered settlement. The insurance company makes the decision as to the selection of the attorneys, makes the decision as to whether the case will be settled or go to trial and the Defendant, who is being sued, who had a car insurance policy, makes no decisions. The Defendant is required to "cooperate" and show up for his/her deposition and in Court.

TRAFFIC TICKET. We get a lot of questions about traffic tickets. Of course, if a person is issued a traffic ticket in an accident involving injury, there are usually two different proceedings. One of the legal proceedings is a process whereby the person has to answer for the ticket itself. They have to plead guilty or not-guilty and if they plead not guilty then the matter is set for trial with the District Attorney. This process has nothing to do with an injury case. In an injury case, when an at-fault party receives a ticket, the at-fault party has to deal with the ticket itself. It is a separate proceeding from the claim for injuries. An injured person can still make their claim for injuries against the insurance company of the at-fault party. During the trial of the injury case (not the traffic ticket case) a traffic ticket is not admissible into evidence and no one can mention it. Therefore, if you are attending a trial for an injured person or if an injured person is making a claim, then the traffic ticket is not mentioned and cannot be received into evidence on a general basis. That is one of the main reasons why you never hear about traffic tickets in injury cases during the trial by the injured person against the at-fault party. Traffic citations and traffic tickets are not admissible into evidence on a general basis. There are certain exceptions to this rule, which will not be discussed here. Generally speaking, however, the traffic ticket is not admissible into evidence.

DRIVING RECORD OF THE NEGLIGENT, AT-FAULT PARTY. The driving record of the negligent, at-fault party who caused injuries in an accident is not usually admissible into evidence at trial. There are some exceptions, but suffice it to say, that if you are a juror serving on an injury case or if you are involved, in any way, in a claim by an injured victim against the at-fault party, the general rule is that the driving record of the negligent, at-fault party does not come into evidence, nor is it ever mentioned.

POLICE REPORT. Most of the police report in a trial by an injured person against the at-fault party is not admissible, nor is it mentioned. The usual argument by the defense and by the insurance company is that the police report is hearsay, not admissible and the police officer did not "observe" the accident, but is merely going off statements by other people, including independent witnesses. Suffice it to say, the police report usually does not make it into evidence and that is the reason that in a case involving an injured victim against the at-fault party, you do not normally hear about, or see, the police report. Sometimes selected portions of the police report can be admitted into evidence. Certainly the police officer can be called to the stand to testify.

SETTLEMENT OFFERS / SETTLEMENT. Parties to litigation can talk about settlement and engage in a settlement mediation or any other forms of settlement discussions and none of it will be admissible at trial. Therefore, taking the case of an injured victim suing the at-fault party, the insurance company protects the at-fault party and makes settlement offers. Those offers are never admissible in court. Therefore, the jury never hears about settlement offers. Sometimes the insurance company of the at-fault party doesn't even offer as much as the medical bills to settle the case. An example would be medical bills in the amount of $22,500.00 and the insurance company's final "take it or leave it" offer is $11,900.00. That doesn't even pay the amount of the medical bills, and in essences, forces the injured victim to file the case, prosecute the litigation and to have a jury trial involving the injured person's injuries, damages, losses, including medical expenses and bills. The insurance company then likes to call the injured victim "greedy" and portray them as a person who is only out to get money, when in truth and fact insurance companies, in some instances, do not even offer enough money to pay the medical bills, much less other damages, injuries or losses. The bottom line is the settlement offer and settlement discussions are not used at trial. You never hear of them.

EVIDENCE OF GOOD CHARACTER. Generally speaking, any evidence indicating that the injured victim is a person of "good character" is not admissible. There are obviously some exceptions to this rule, however, generally speaking, injured victims / plaintiffs cannot introduce into evidence anything about their "good character" or how good of a person they are, since that sort of evidence is generally excluded. As stated, there are some exceptions to this rule, but that's generally why you never hear about the "good character" of the injured victim.

SUBSEQUENT REPAIRS. Any time there are injuries resulting from dangerous conditions on premises, such as a huge hole in the ground which is unmarked and unprotected, such as sidewalks which were unfinished and dropped off several feet, with no warning, such as dangerous conditions in parking lots, like snow or ice, with no adequate protection, one wonders whether the landowner repaired or corrected the dangerous condition after the injury occurred. Why do you never hear about that in court? There is a rule addressing "subsequent repairs." Any time a dangerous condition is later "repaired" or "corrected" that evidence is generally not admissible to prove anything relating to the incident in question. Therefore, the landowner or other responsible person, can correct, fix and/or repair a dangerous condition after someone has been injured and those "subsequent repairs" generally are not admissible in Court.
We want you to understand why rules of evidence, statutory laws and other rules covering certain matters mandate that certain matters cannot be brought up in Court. Probably the main question usually asked by jurors, when they get their turn to ask questions, is: "is there insurance?" or "what about insurance?" or "does the Defendant have insurance?" The Judge will not let these questions be answered since none of them are admissible in trial, and if the word of insurance is brought up by the Plaintiff, most judges will consider a mistrial in the case. As discussed above, there are instances, in other matters, in which significant facts do not come into evidence and are excluded by the Court, based on the law. Hopefully this helps explain to you the various laws pertaining to evidence, admissibility of evidence and other relevant evidentiary matters. In essence, these are Court Secrets and what they don't tell you in Court.
