LEBANON, OH, June 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) For attorneys, social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs are the new word-of-mouth advertising of the 21st century -- a powerful way for law firms to stand out online and engage with clients and prospects in a direct, immediate, and meaningful way.

A free one-hour webcast upcoming on Wednesday, June 13th, is designed for attorneys who want to learn more about social media, its relevance to attorneys, and why social media is the future of online client development for law firms.

Social Media: Fish Where the Fish Are, a FindLaw event co-hosted by Ohio attorney Charles M.Rittgers, will provide practical, effective tips on how to get started using social media -- or fine-tune an existing social media campaign. It covers the role that social media can play in reputation management and how attorneys can measure their success in the social media sphere.
