LegalFish.com and Ditley Web Design Announce Partnership Enabling Faster, Better Web Solutions for Legal Professionals

CHICAGO, IL (December 17, 2007) – Nationwide Attorney-Client Matching (ACM) firm, LegalFish.com announced a new partnership with Ditley Web Design, a Chicago-based company in a move designed to help legal professionals grow their practices utilizing a well-established Web presence.

LegalFish.com is an industry leader in ACM, an interactive service which allows consumers to connect with qualified, pre-screened lawyers by geographic region and legal issue. Users submit their legal service needs on LegalFish.com and their "case" is then filtered to participating law firms or lawyers that match the appropriate criteria. Lawyers are contacted about potential cases via e-mail or text message to a mobile device and is free to the consumer. Member attorneys are able to maintain an online profile on LegalFish.com. In partnership with Ditley Web Design, LegalFish offers lawyers the option of deploying faster, better Web solutions to reach the consumer marketplace online. Ditley is able to design and host quality, cost-effective Web sites for legal professionals aimed at helping establish an effective Internet marketing presence.

Joshua Fuhrmark, Managing Director of LegalFish said the two firms will work closely to ensure that small to midsized law firms are armed with the most efficient Web solutions for growing their business. “Attorneys’ Web sites should be more than just an online brochure,” Fuhrmark said. “They should be a forum to establish a full dialogue with prospective clients.”

According to Ditley president Dean Stutz, cooperation between the firms will help law practices to reach new levels of exposure. “Ditley is able to creatively convey the unique qualifications and experience of each law firm in a meaningful way,” Stutz said. “We also never forget that a great looking Web site is ineffective if nobody can find it. Now with the help of LegalFish we can better facilitate the process of engagement between a prospective client and an attorney.”

Both firms emphasize a key benefit of the partnership is the ability to provide law firms a full-feature Web site in a matter of days rather than weeks.
