Although it would be ideal to have a paperless office, that isn't always practical. And even if you are fortunate enough to go entirely paperless, you may have paper files from before the switch to a paperless office. I am Interested in learning what others from small offices are doing for document destruction. For those of us with minimal document destruction needs there do not seem to be a lot of good options. One can buy a shredder and have it done internally, but this is inefficient except for the smallest of jobs.

Creating a website is critical for every lawyer today. It is as important as (or, I would argue, more important than) printing business cards.

I thought it would be interesting to review some of our member profiles and pick a few websites that were both simple to build and professional-looking.
