In today’s YouLaw, we look at Tennessee trial lawyer Rob McKinney who gives viewers an overview of what they need to ask when looking for the best DUI attorney. The video is 3:25 long, and at times appears drawn out. However, Attorney McKinney offers great content for viewer trying to figure out who they should hire. Experience is the obvious first answer. He talks about how important it is for the attorney to have a mastery in the science of a field sobriety test, the breath test, and the blood alcohol test.

How would you feel watching a video in which you see a nice family having a meal together, leaving in a car, and suffering a catastrophic car accident, complete with screams, glass shattering, ambulance lights and siren, heart beat audio in the background, scenes of the emergency room, and even a trip to the lawyer’s office?

In this week’s Technolawyer feature, YouLaw, I review an attorney video about forclosures. The attorney gives great information, but something about the video just distracted me. Read the blurb below and then click on the link below to read the full review at Technolawyer.

In this week’s video review, we see how a poorly-produced attorney testimonial can hurt rather than help.
Testimonials are supposed to show how great you are. If your viewer gets turned off by the content in your video testimonial, it will reflect poorly on you as the attorney; that’s something that you didn’t want to happen.
“I can sympathize with any injured victim seeking compensation for their injuries. But I cannot tolerate a poorly produced video, especially a 9:38 minute video that rambles on without purpose or direction.

Today’s video review is not about a lawyer video. Rather, it’s about a guy who built a business creating newsletters for people to keep in touch with their customers and clients. Jim Palmer calls himself the “Newsletter Guru.” He clearly “gets” why it’s so crucial to keep in touch with your clients and customers on a regular frequent basis.
In this video we see Jim paddling his canoe on a lake near his home. He is wearing sunglasses, and the camera is sitting in the canoe pointed upwards. As Jim talks, you hear the oar making contact with the water. Jim tells a story about finding a painting he wanted to purchase and the business owner refusing to ship it to his home. The point of the video is to show that the business owner lost a key opportunity to make an easy sell by creating a roadblock.

Defamation lawyer Adrianos Facchetti has created a video that provides viewers with helpful information about defamation law. But that’s not all. Facchetti virtually hits one out of the park by using animation to tell a story. I saw this type of animation about six months ago but didn’t think it was worth the time and effort to create. I was wrong. Facchetti’s video stands out. It’s not your typical lawyer video. Plus, it’s entertaining.

“I am a business attorney” is how lawyer Bill Godfrey of Godfrey Legal opens this video. Godfrey is clean-cut; his beard is closely cropped; he’s wearing a nice suit, and he is sitting in front of a nice-looking bookcase. The video has nice B-roll footage, he clearly has a penchant for pocket watches, and the background music is pleasing.
From a technique standpoint the video is excellent. The quality is crystal-clear, and shows scenes of his office, him talking on his cell phone, and also looking at a law book standing in front of a bookcase. For technique, I give this video a TechnoScore of 5, but I must take into account the content and sidebar, which is nowhere near as gratifying.

Have you ever watched a news reporter on the street when a passerby waves at the camera or makes funny faces behind the reporter? You almost want the reporter to turn around because the passerby is more interesting. That’s the problem with this video by immigration attorney Kurt Hermanni.
In the video, Hermanni talks about how illegal immigrants might be afraid to pursue their legal rights if injured in an accident. Ironically, Hermanni says he does not handle personal injury cases. “If you feel you are afraid to present yourself in an action in civil court, I am here for advice,” he says. Hermanni fails to completely connect the dots so it seems like a non-sequitur, but there’s an even bigger problem.
