Twitter client development success stories - lawyers and legal professionals chime in
In advance of today's talk on Twitter at LegalTech West Coast, I sent out a request on Twitter and also asked some LexBlog clients who use Twitter to share any client development and/or networking success stories.
The response has been pretty overwhelming — attorneys and legal professionals from firms large and small have shared their positive stories of what an active Twitter presence has done for them.
Here are some of their stories and anecdotes:
- Connecticut employment attorney Daniel Schwartz (@danielschwartz) of Pullman & Comley. “Twitter story: Got invited to the ABA Diversity summit and speaking engagements bc of my use of Twitter.”
- California defamation attorney Adrianos Facchetti (@adrianos), has gotten several speaking gigs and connections with local reporters, attorneys, and consultants (more details after the jump).
- Washington DC LEED AP and construction attorney Chris Cheatham (@chrischeatham) of Watt, Tieder, Hoffar & Fitzgerald, LLP, a 200-attorney firm, has made connections with huge names in green building, including United States Green Building Council executive committee member Rob Watson (more details after the jump).
- Cleveland health care and private equity attorney Jayne Juvan (@jaynejuvan) of Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff, LLP, a large Ohio firm: "Even more so than my blog, I've used Twitter to demonstrate that I'm knowledgeable about business news and the economic crisis, as well as developments in corporate law" (more details after the jump).
- Both California attorney-mediator Victoria Pynchon (@vpynchon) and California civil litigator H. Scott Leviant (@hsleviant) wrote: "I'm speaking at LegalTech b/c I met @heathermilligan on twitter."
