1. Look for legal related questions in answer sites like Yahoo Answers, Topics, and the like.  You can personally check if people are asking legal questions related to your practice.  Go to answer sites such as Yahoo Answers and Topics and search for people who are looking for legal answers.  By answering these people’s queries, you are positioning yourself as an expert in your field.   These people are potential clients.  Just be sure that you are using your real name upon registration.  Your answers will become more credible if the people know that you are a real lawyer and that you are representing your law firm.
