I brought a large pitcher of Kool-Aid over to the Lampe Law office a couple of months ago, and ever since, they’ve demonstrated a new enthusiasm for jumping into the social media/blogging pool. In addition to the firm’s new forays onto Facebook and Twitter, the partners (Lance Heisler, Tim Morisette, and Maren Swanson) have started blogging by writing informational posts on various legal topics.
I’d like to help them make their content even more useful by getting input from LoGro and the Northfield area community. I began by asking Griff for feedback, and his answer–you could have predicted it–was “needs more fluff”. Well, okay, I can work with that. Meanwhile, for all you people of substance, are there general legal questions or issues you’d like to understand better? Do you have any suggestions for post topics? Or would you rather just see pictures of lawyers making fun of themselves?
For example, I asked Lance yesterday why someone should use a lawyer to draft documents for a business formation rather than just using boilerplate from the internet and paying the State’s fee. He had a pretty good answer for that. So, that’s a topic one of them will be blogging about soon.
Traffic court? The litigation process? Why a statute doesn’t necessarily mean what you think it means? The kinds of things I think might be interesting or informative may be complete clunkers. If you can provide ideas by simply telling me the questions that have crossed your minds, or circumstances you’ve run into that could have been improved by more or better legal information, now’s your chance. There’s no doubt that such information could benefit others facing similar situations.
Understand, of course, that Tim’s, Lance’s, and Maren’s posts are not considered legal advice. (They made me say that.) And yes, I am getting paid for helping them with this. And they did pay for a Premium Plus level LG membership.
All that being said, the partners and I welcome your suggestions, so I hope I get some here!
