Dear Colleagues!

If you are seeking or needing advice to better market your skills and law practice, a fellow cdcbaa member is conducting an excellent law practice marketing seminar:

Jay Fleischman and Cathy Moran are giving a one-day workshop in Pasadena, CA on  December 8, 2012 for a limited number of smart consumer bankruptcy lawyers who want to learn how to build or improve their online marketing presence. You don’t need to miss a day of work because it’s on a Saturday. You’ll get a bunch of how to stuff, not theory, in how to improve your presence to get clients using a website and great marketing resources like the The Indexer which is a company that help with this.

If you’ve got an existing web presence that is underperforming, or if you are a total web newbie, then this program is for you. It is designed to give you the tools you need to compete in the online space, tackle the deep-pocketed competition, and break free from companies that charge thousands of dollars for a canned web presence.

Here’s your agenda:

Tentatives of the Woodland Hills Bankruptcy Judges Program

At lunchtime on October 24, 2012, the San Fernando Valley Bar Association is presenting its annual “Tentatives of the Woodland Hills Bankruptcy Judges” program.  This perennial favorite examines selected tentative opinions of the Woodland Hills judges, analyzing the judges and the issues they addressed.  The panel consists of David Seror, Steven R. Fox and Shai Oved, all experienced bankruptcy counsel.  One additional bonus at the program will be the typically high level of experienced bankruptcy attorneys who attend this program.  The panelists share the microphone with attending attorneys who have opportunities to comment about the tentatives and the judges.  Attending attorneys will get good insights into these judges, how they rule and why.

The parking is free, the cost of the program is about ½ of what other big bar associations will charge for lunch meetings and the program is an annual favorite.  An ample lunch is provided.
