Advertising:
Word of mouth seems to be the best way to get this kind of work. Seems lawyers
respect the experts not the advertisers. In fact, the lawyer I just worked for
says he often uses the fact that experts are out their actively selling their
services against them when they testify.
Anyone else experienced that type of response to advertising. Curious. I send
out tapes, but mostly when they are requested because someone has passed along
my name. I would love to get more work, but don't want to jepardize my position
by looking like an "ambulance chaser".
Best bet seems to be well known with engineers who are called on for
reconstructions and with local police and attorneys. There seems to be a thin
line between "getting your name out" and "advertising your services".
Any thoughts?
