I am so busted. Now, what are we going to do about that? Re-framing my compassionate ways. KCBA Pro Bono Atty of the year award isn't something I regret, or plan to turn my back on; it's probably time to do work for folks who want to (and can) pay. DKH You are so right. I am so busted. Now, what are we going to do about that?

I hear the "so busy" line all the time, and not just from new lawyers, from more tenured lawyers who are reluctant to embrace social media or simply try something new.

I get the same responses when I talk to other attorneys about marketing. I have an unnamed friend and everytime I talk to him about marketing, he wants to point out how he redesigned his website again. No new content, no SEO, just a blanket redesign (changing from a Blue theme to a green theme, that sort of thing). It drives me nuts. I also find it strange how attorneys in Raleigh are so reluctant to increase their fees. When I lived in Orlando, the cost of living was much lower than Raleigh, but attorneys charged a lot more. I've talked to a number of attorneys who would like to raise their rates, but are afraid the client's won't pay it. This also drives me nuts because not a single client ever questioned my hourly rate in Florida, which was much higher than most board certified attorneys charge here. So to summarize - I completely agree with you. Lee – You are dead on. I get the same responses when I talk to other attorneys about marketing.
