Brandon, >>I have downloaded your list of forensic animators. Thanks!<< Your are most welcome, I'm glad its being used. >>Sure, why not. "I officially volunteer".<< Exactly what info do you need? >>As a matter of fact, I think I got your name off of that list and sent you some e-mail in the past couple days about an article I am writing on forensic animation for "The Alabama Lawyer" magazine. Did you get it?<< I got your email about the article you are writing, thanks. I'm in the middle of a 9 car accident with an expert that I have never worked with before and I have a relatively short deadline. I hope to reply to at least some of the questions you posed. When do you need my reply and images? >>Most state bar associations, if not all, publish magazines or newsletters which *all* licensed attorneys in the state receive. Have you thought about running an advertisement? Or maybe a booth at your state's annual bar association convention?<< I did place an ad in the "Oklahoma Trial Lawyers Association" magazine with 1 or 2 respones for 3 issues/6 month run. I'm thinking that I need a longer run to show more permanence in market place. I have another ad coming out this month with what I think is a better verbage, it will run for 4 issues/12 months. Amazing what you can learn from a few advertising books. I also as you suggested had a booth at a convention for the OTLA, I talked with several attorneys, but little contact after the convention. I think I need to be more aggresive and follow up with a letter or phone call, maybe that would increase the number of jobs contributable to my advertising. Word of mouth is doing a better than than any other advertising. I just need more mouths<BG>. >>Cool idea! I'll look into that.<< I didn't really think that a study would have a chance, since it would take considerable time and money. If this did happen it would certainly be icing on the cake.
