When we hit the benchmark of our first 200 legal blog articles at the Law Offices of Andrew D. Myers, we indexed them.
Blogging presents everyone with the opportunity to become part of the internet.
Here, though, we focus on the areas of the law that we practice, we know about and we care about.
We often post information based on what you, our audience, our clients and newspaper column readers ask about.
The basics include what personal injury law and bankruptcy are all about. At the other end of the spectrum, we write to keep it lively and entertain. Always, we base what we write on actual law. No fluff.
Our “web gurus” tell us ‘keep it relevant’. That’s our goal. As well as being informative and accurate.
So, in alphabetical order, here is an index of blog articles posted by us to date:
