MSNBC is planning to run a story next week on me, as part of a story about how lawyers are coping with a bad economy.<\/p>\n

And I’ve been able to grow: I added my wife in January, who has been able to expand the firm’s business. We hired a new lawyer, a former prosecutor, who started in early May and is adding to our ability to expand into neighboring counties, as well as traffic law and bankruptcy law.<\/p>\n

I’ve also started a redesign of my website. I’d appreciate your feedback. I recognize your time is valuable. In exchange for your feedback, I will randomly select someone to receive a $100 gift certificate to Amazon.com.<\/p>\n

It’s entirely anonymous – you’ll have to trust me that someone got the gift certificate – and confidential. No one but me will know you sent me feedback. And no one will know if you win the gift certificate.<\/p>\n

My new front page is at www.chetson.com\/home<\/a>. Please only review that page. Don’t worry about clicking through to the rest of the site which has not yet been redesigned.<\/p>\n

Because the prettiest designs don’t always work on every browser, or are confusing, I’d like your frank feedback:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Does the page display properly\n<\/li>\n
  2. What is your impression based on the page?\n<\/li>\n
  3. Are you able to see the various slides, functions, etc?\n<\/li>\n
  4. Do you understand what kind of law we practice and what kind of things we do?\n<\/li>\n
  5. Would you pick up the phone and call?\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Feel free to email me your feedback to dchetson@gmail.com<\/a>. Anyone who emails me by Wednesday, June 15, is eligible for the $100 gift certificate.<\/p>\n

    Thanks for your help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
