Lawyers and Social Media: What could possibly go wrong?
http://ow.ly/aNl9h
An article by Thomas J. Watson posted on the Wisconsin Lawyer website, at the State Bar's website, www.wisbar.org.
This article discusses potential risk associated with attorneys use of social media networks.
The article addresses various issues and states, "Although a social medium can be a cost-effective way to reach a large audience, you risk losing control of your message, creating unrealistic client expectations, inadvertently creating an attorney-client relationship, and running afoul of the rules of professional conduct.
The question is: How can you operate effectively and appropriately in a Web-based environment without leaving yourself vulnerable to a malpractice claim or a complaint to the Office of Lawyer Regulation?"
