I have a prior commitment and might not be able to make it at all. I will definitely attend the next McLeod Residence event!

I am an attorney in solo practice and I have my photo on my website. The attorney-client relationship starts with trust, and I believe that having my photo on my website conveys (subtly) that I can be trusted. Some clients have looked me up on Facebook or MySpace prior to meeting, which highlights the importance of careful editing of the information and photos you post at those sites.

I look very young which I believe is a positive for prospective clients who want an energetic lawyer with fresh ideas. However, sometimes I wonder if I don't lose the occasional client who sees my picture and automatically assumes I am a recent law school graduate with no practical experience.
