You want the media to know you as the expert in your area of law. What does this mean to your practice? It means incredible free publicity! It means you will be thought of throughout your community as the go to expert! It means that the perception you have created is that you are the authority; the go-to person; the maven; the reliable source. It also means when you call someone in the media with a story you will be listened to.

Where were you in September of 1998? The Asian stock market crisis was still in full swing, we just heard the name Monica Lewinsky, and the song at the top of the billboards was from glam band Aerosmith: “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing.” It’s all coming back now, isn’t it?
