The product is both proven and deployed around the globe. But it is not as well-known as it might be.

By firm, of course, I mean the group of wildly independent lawyers operating under the Handler Thayer shingle. On an ongoing basis, I have worked with the firm to take control of its online profiles, improve its email marketing, implement a YouTube channel, update website bios and help the attorneys get their LinkedIn profiles under control. So much, so much to do.
Chapman & Cutler Law FirmChapman 1, Google 0. The Chicago-based law firm of Chapman & Cutler was experiencing unusual and undesired results in Google search engines. Not negative information. But when someone searched for the firm by name, Google returned results that provided the name of a specific attorney and his phone number. As a result, this one attorney was being annoyed with telephone solicitations and other irrelevant calls. I researched both how and why Google was returning this result and resolved the problem. I also provided consultation so that each of the firm’s regional offices would be displayed appropriately and with rich content. Click to read a blog post about this experience.
Ira S. Lipkin & AssociatesFormer IRS agents and CPA Ira S. Lipkin provides IRS tax representation to people seeking relief from actions taken by the IRS or to avoid and mimimize penalties and fees. The firm’s 10-year old website included excellent content but was not well organized. Additionally, the site had outlived its technical usefulness and needed to be replaced with one that was mobile friendly and performed well with multiple browsers. In addition to replacing the website and reorganizing the content, we relaunched the site under a more descriptive domain name while also redirecting traffic from the old domain.

Illinois Audubon SocietyAs a board member our pro bono effort has been to raise the visibility of conservation initiatives of this independent state non-profit organization. We initiated their social media including a now-robust Facebook page and Twitter account. Working with their internal staff, I moved them off of an unfriendly-to-use PayPal payment account to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) tool that permits them to accept payments for everything from memberships and donations to tickets to events.
