David Barrett shares his social media legal marketing expertise David Barrett
 
"David is an attorney who was an early convert to the importance of social media and has developed true expertise with regard to leveraging social media networking and marketing to create more opportunities to find clients and referral sources. The way that he embraced this "new world" could even be called visionary. He taught me a great deal about managing groups on LinkedIn and exposed me to the power of these "networks within the network." He is a wonderful resource." April 8, 2009
Tom McLain, Shareholder & Attorney, Chorey, Taylor & Feil, A Professional Corporation

"David Barrett has expert power in the area of social media networking. With only a few minutes into the conversation, it became very clear that David had studied and captured the power of the social networking scene. He literally, walked me through all the "must haves" and "should nots" of networking and even helped develop a strategy for my budding business in providing career related services in an economy that is in dire need. David is a tremendous resource for anyone that is trying to build their business via these social sites. My teleconference was well worth the time and the money. Pick up the phone, tweet or link up with David...no doubt you will arrive at the same conclusion - that he is an absolute master in social media networking." February 14, 2009
Mindy Thomas, MS, CPRW  President, Thomas Career Consulting
 
"David Barrett has a well-developed talent for harnessing the best of social media to bring lawyers and their clients together. He makes the inscrutable understandable to newbies, and he shows more experienced users how to leverage social media as an effective tactic for business development.  During his numerous continuing legal education presentations, David has offered a roadmap of action steps that participants can implement for social media success. I've picked up tons of tips from his comments and from his LinkedIn Lawyer Blog. Lawyers seeking help with social media could not find a more capable sherpa. I recommend his social media consulting without reservation!" March 10, 2009

Information for Sponsors 
The LinkedIn Lawyer Social Media Webinar Series Sponsorships 
 
Thank you
for your interest in more information regarding sponsorship of one or more "LinkedIn Lawyer Social Media Webinar Series."  

After being approached by a large number of law-related businesses interested to interact with my lawyer networks, I came up with the idea of webinar "sponsorships" as marketing opportunities involving direct contact with
 
"The World's Largest LinkedIn Lawyer Network." 
 
and my substantial lawyer networks on Twitter, Facebook, Plaxo and Martindale-Hubbell Connected.
 
Rather than spending my social capital on a series of email product endorsements, sponsorships provide tasteful advertizing opportunities within high interest seminars for the legal community.
