Search facilities have been modified on the site to help potential clients find the right law firm quickly, and LawyerLocator now hosts a series of articles to help businesses and individuals understand basic legal issues. There are also online forums, where customers can discuss issues with their peers and legal professionals. Tim McGarr, LawyerLocator project manager, says: “Informed customers are great news for law firms as it means they know what they want and they are going to the right firm.”
