Introduction For Attorneys

Welcome to the Divorce and Child Support Assistance Center, a website dedicated to bringing high quality, Internet savvy, clients directly to your law firm.  We may look similar to other legal matching or law finding sites, but we are completely different.  Everything on this website is designed to super-charge your Internet exposure with minimal effort and at no cost to you.  You haven’t seen anything like this before.

In a nutshell, hundreds of people come to this site every day seeking help. They join the support forums for their city and post questions or comments that they wish to discuss with others. As an attorney you are invited to monitor the discussions in your area and interject a little common sense wherever necessary in an effort to draw attention to your firm. By doing so, you are establishing yourself as the local expert in the eyes of everyone who reads your words. When the inevitable happens, and they realize that they're in over their heads, there's only one attorney to call… you.

To be perfectly clear, we're not encouraging you to give billable legal advice for free on this site. Instead, we are inviting you to help educate people of their need to have a qualified lawyer in their area.

Once you’ve established a sign-in name and set up your profile, all you have to do is check your email as usual.  It’s really that simple.  We will send you a message whenever a client in your area needs you.  If you have your own website, there are some other simple things you can do to fully take advantage of the marketing exposure we offer, but they’re not required to get clients from us.

If you’re waiting for an up-sell or a catch, there isn’t one.  We are privately funded and simply don’t need to charge attorneys for participation.  You can use this site with the assurance that you won’t be added to any junk mailing list and that no salesman will disrupt your day.  So why do we do it?

Simply put, legal marketing on the Internet hasn’t changed at all in the past decade.  Most law firms still depend on outmoded and antiquated websites because that’s where the money is at for the majority of web professionals.  Meanwhile, the rest of the Internet has evolved into highly dynamic and socially interactive mega-sites.  Because participation on these sites is usually free, it is not in the best interest of webmasters and optimizers to talk about them in a positive light, if at all.  As a result, potential clients are forced to sift through site after site until they see a word or picture that triggers their response instead of finding the lawyer that has the most interest in taking their case.

The Divorce and Child Support Assistance Center uses the exact same software platform as MySpace.com.  We intend to do for Family Law what they have done for social networking.

The next step is to establish a sign-in name and set up your profile.
