“A Parade of Moving Interest” was a phrase that Ben Glass explained to a packed room full of lawyers from around the country looking to stand out from the crowd. Unless you were a Dan Kennedy devotee, you most likely needed Ben’s explanation to understand the concept that a consumer or potential client isn’t looking for you or your legal services when they wake up in the morning.

It’s true. I finally confessed. I used to love going to live CLE seminars about trial practice, direct examination, cross examination, jury selection, opening arguments, summations and legal updates. I loved learning everything possible from attorneys who were in the trenches every day trying cases.
While trying to learn how to become a marketing student and expand my marketing horizons, I noticed that none of the bar associations we’re giving any seminars about legal marketing. I began to call different bar associations asking if there were any classes or seminars on legal marketing.

I am thrilled to be back from a lecture I presented to over 250 attorneys in Fairfax, Virginia about the benefits of creating educational video to market their law practices. Before leaving New York, I had visions in my mind of the crowd going wild; jamming to the music; raising their hands and singing along; demanding more and then of course chanting my name for an encore. Then I woke up and realized it was a daydream of sorts.

I was speaking to over 250 attorneys on June 11, 2010 at the Hyatt in Fairfax, Virginia. The room was packed. Ben Glass had just finished talking about ethics in attorney advertising. 5:00 pm arrived and I had my wireless microphone all set; my laptop was ready to go and my wireless pointer was plugged in.
