"In the Name of the Law" TM
In 2001 I began to acquire law-related domain names through original registration and the acquisition of expiring domain names. The demands of a busy law practice resulted in the failure to develop these domain names. Information about my private my activities as a practicing attorney and host of a legal affairs talk radio program can be found on the website www.CitizenLawyer.com. Between 1993 and 2008 my practice focused on criminal defense and civil litigation with an emphasis on police misconduct, civil rights and constitutional litigation. In 2008, I closed my law practice and accepted an assignment as a Long Term Legal Specialist consulting on rule of law trial advocacy training in Central Asia. Recently, I have been preparing for the launch of AttorneyWebNet, a legal media company offering attorneys and law firms a wide range of legal marketing services from attorney website design to law firm media management .

Law Office Domains offers law-related domain names and website design services
to attorneys and law firms interested in harnessing the advertising power of
the internet to gain a market advantage in highly competitive practice areas. Law Office Domains offers a specific type of law firm website design service.
We specialize in building attorney and law firm websites on the Typepad.com
platform. Why Typepad.com? Because Typepad.com offers the ability to
design a versatile custom law firm website with an integrated blog, synchronized social
network marketing and built in search engine optimization features that can be
enhanced to outperform static websites in search engine results. A customized Typepad.com website can:
- automatically create a website map that can be registered directly with Google.

The real utility of a Typepad.com website is that it can be easily updated by the attorney or law firm after only a few hours of online training No more waiting for the return call or e-mail from the website design company before you can change contact information on your law firm's website or alert prospective client's of an important legal development or case victory.
Search
engines have taken notice of the explosion of blogs on the internet and the
crucial role they play in not only reporting but actually breaking news on
national and international events. All other factors being equal, a
website with a blog that is regularly updated will tend to perform better in
search engine results for targeted key words than a static website that is
rarely updated. For attorneys who are too busy to maintain a practice-specific blog,
AttorneyWebNet will offer a blogging service in the near future
that will regularly update your website with relevant practice-specific information and
developments.
,MOBI Websites. Law Office Domains will also specialize in the creation of .mobi WAP accessible mobile telephone websites.
Why have a WAP accessible ,mobi website? Because an increasing number
of potential clients access the internet through their mobile phones.
Potential clients will be able to access your information 24/7 in situations when they do not have access to a PC. An
April 2009 article by the BBC's technology reporter noted that "[t]he
strategies of companies ranging from Google to Microsoft and
from Apple to Yahoo suggest they believe the future of the internet
lies in mobile phones." The article quoted Google's vice president of
engineering Vic Gundotrawho, who noted that "[t]his year we are going
to sell more internet-connected phones as an
industry than the entire notebook market. These devices will become our
agents, support us with advice, be our friends." Get ahead of the
technology curve for once and call us to get your WAP accessible .mobi
website today.
Premium Law-Related Domain Names. Law Office Domains also offers our clients the ability to purchase premium key word relevant law-related domain names as part of our website design packages. We maintain an inventory of over 400 law-related domain names which is growing by the month. We aquire our domain names through original registrations, domain name expiration drops and aftermarket purchases. Domain name purchasers have the option of using www.escrow.com as a secure means of payment that also offers a guarantee that the domain name will be transferred. In most cases, the domain names can be redirected to an existing website immediately and a full transfer of the domain name[s] can be accomplished within 48 hours after the execution of our domain name transfer agreement and the receipt of payment by www.escrow.com. We also offer a lease program to test the effectiveness of domain names in a search engine optimization campaigns, as well as a rent to own option. Law Office Domains can also assist in negotiating for the purchase of law-related domain names offered for sale on other websites.
Key word law-related domain names can, in conjunction with search engine optimization techniques, help boost your website performance in search engine results for the targeted key words. Key word law-related domain names can have a significant impact in some practice areas with little local internet competition. Key word law-related domain names also offer a unique branding and marketing opportunity since they are easy to remember and provide a link to exactly the information the person searching for legal services is looking for in the first place. However, if you are not interested in purchasing one of our premium domain names we can assist you in searching for a domain name through original registration. We have specialized tools to do bulk searches for for available practice area or geography specific domain names and can research the available domains for compatibility with a search engine optimization strategy. We can conduct searches in minutes that it would take most others hours to complete.
Litigation Support Services
Founded by a former Law Review editor and Federal law clerk with over twenty years of litigation experience, AttorneyWebNet will offer attorneys and law firms a variety of complex litigation support services including:
Public records and FOIA
Services. The development of jurisdiction -specific public
records discovery and litigation plans. Legal research and drafting in both
criminal and complex civil litigation, with an emphasis on police misconduct
litigation. As a defense attorney, Mr. Hentoff uncovered systemic problems with the Phoenix Police Department Crime Lab's DNA storage procedures through a strategic public records request for Police Department e-mails.
Internet-based background checks. As demonstrated by our post on the loss of internet privacy, the Internet is a treasure trove of information that can make or break your criminal case. As a criminal defense attorney, Nick Hentoff regularly uncovered information on victims and witnesses through Internet searches that resulted in the dismissal of cases or significantly reduced plea offers. We offer both flat fee and hourly based searches for information on witnesses and LEOs in both civil and criminal cases (where allowed by law and applicable ethics rules). We also encourage attorneys to conduct preemptive searches on their own clients and witnesses to avoid surprises during plea negotiations or at trial. Mr. Hentoff is familiar with and has copies of the law enforcement policies of all the major social networking websites and has access to up-to-date lists of the statutory agents for all of the major Internet service providers. AttorneyWebNet also has access to one of the best online subscription-based background check databases available.
Justification Defense Services. An NRA certified Firearms Instructor and graduate of Gunsite Training Academy's Expert Pistol Course, Mr. Hentoff is familiar with forensic firearms issues and knowledgeable on all aspects of presenting an effective use of deadly force justification defense in State and Federal courts.
As an adjunct to our law firm website design and attorney litigation support services, AttorneyWebNet also offers video production, photography and writing services.
AttorneyWebNet will also be launching a series of blogs on the following subjects:
1) Testilying.com: police misconduct news and issues.
2) Exonerations.com: criminal justice news and death penalty issues.

5) NetLawEthics.com: We
continue to update our internet law ethics blog, NetLawEthics.com, with posts on internet privacy, liberty and professional responsibility
issues relating to the use of websites by attorneys and law firms.
Media Management Services. It is difficult to concentrate on defending your client when your office telephone is ringing off the hook with calls from media outlets seeking comments on a high profile case. AttorneyWebNet can serve as an effective counterweight to the prosecutors' jury-tainting media machine. Mr. Hentoff is a former newspaper reporter, freelance journalist and the host of a short-lived but well-received legal affairs talk radio program who has published articles and opinion editorials on legal issues in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post, among other publications. Mr. Hentoff maintained a high profile litigation practice for over fifteen years and has extensive experience dealing with high profile media cases. He has participated in numerous print and broadcast interviews and regularly appeared on local and national news programs. He is confident, comfortable and adept at interacting with print and broadcast journalists.
What's Next?
We hope to launch the main AttorneyWebNet website by the end of the month, followed by a series of individual websites highlighting each of the services described above. Please check back later for updates on our future plans..
