“But I wonder if you can empathize?”

Lawyers?

One of my early lessons came about years ago when I had drafted a letter to a client of the firm at which I was employed. Summarizing our view of the situation, I said, “We feel…”

My mentor crossed out the word “feel” and replaced it with “believe”, saying, “We’re lawyers. We don’t feel.”

John, if you accidentally dropped your domain name-sake, that might be an unforgivable mortal sin. Heh.

If you can, then stop excepting reverse domain hijacking cases. It is beneath you.

Enrico, anyone can “emphasize.”

The best part of the story is that on arrival in Gold Coast, I immediately checked into the wrong hotel.

On the subject of attorney websites in general, though, I love how every law firm website extolls the virtues of marvelous attorneys who seemingly never lose. When the phone stops ringing, I’ll give it some thought.

I’ll say this, though, I never thought of buying “Ari Goldberger” as a Google ad keyword, as someone once did.

I was in the car telephone industry years ago (1954 circa), and John reminds me of one of the early lawyers in that business. He was a brilliant man who attended the early (and I mean early when their were only 20 people in the room. Everyone knew and respected his opinion. He made early law in that business and helped many of us out. His cases are still quoted today.

We can all be thankful for John and his help. I can assure you his work has made the road easier for us to travel. Happy New Year John, and Thank you.
