The subtitle of Mike Evans' blog is "How lawyers can use the Internet to attract clients, be more effective, make more money, and have more fun." That's one thing Mike, who is primarily a plaintiffs' mass tort lawyer, has been doing the past twelve years. During that time, Mike helped create a network of plaintiffs litigation firms, small law firms, and sole practitioners in states. The goal was to let injury victims in rural America hire the same mass tort litigation firms that residents of California or N.Y could hire. That goal was reached in Mike's first "Rezulin Legal Alliance" project which led Mike and his joint venture law firms to represent thousands of clients nationwide, with confidential settlement amounts that were, at the time, staggering. It has been repeated many times. Mike is currently organizing other law firm alliances designed to bring top-notch legal representation to people across the U.S. These alliances will benefit participating law firms by enabling them to represent more people, more efficiently, using the latest technology. Mike is involved in several current endeavors, but they all share the goal of using cutting-edge technology and marketing practices to connect lawyers with clients, as easily, simply and cost-effectively as possible. In addition to Mike's legal marketing work, Mike is CEO of Digital Media Advocates, Inc., (DMA) a company formed in December to engage in innovative Internet technologies. marketing and public relations agency. DMA also engages in other innovative marketing strategies, including social media, online video, mobile marketing and the creation of mobile apps. Mike believes we are lucky to be born in exciting times, with the opportunity to revolutionize, simplify and provide legal services nationally for the first time in the history of the world.
