First of all, "Law Offices Of..." is not a "firm". Okay, maybe technically it is, but it is not like your firm's PR department decided to do this, right? Or do I have that wrong? Because, where I come from, where I was trained, when we win cases, we do not boast about it, or our clients get very cranky. Have you heard the phrase, "When you hit a home run, act like you've done it before"?

Second, by all means, your website should discuss your legal victories. The front scroll of your website simply pronounces you as "Legal Genius". If Wile E. Coyote had a website, it would look very similar.... "Super Genius."

But I will say that I respect your guts in going into business for yourself as a defense lawyer in New York. It certainly must take a certain type of personality to get you there and keep you afloat. If one of the by-products of that is shameless self-promotion -- or even a reasonable belief that shameless self-promotion is necessary to staying above water -- then I really cannot fault you here.

I'd keep typing, but if I don't start billing some hours today, I won't even be able to wager you $32 for your York Cobb. And, given the legal economy, it'll take me four hours to earn even that!
