The practice of law may not, in principle, have changed much over the last few decades (or ever). But, in action, mobile devices have changed the game, in a few big ways.

Where you may have been able to leave your work at the office in bygone years, now, your smartphone is like a virtual desk that can keep you chained to your work even while sitting on the beach. For those lawyers that are constantly in the race for new clients, being accessible 24/7 means being able to land the client that’s calling attorney after attorney until they get one on the phone.

Below, you’ll find three of the top questions about mobile devices in the practice of law today.

If you are trying to get new clients via a website, or online advertising, and you’re not reaching mobile devices, or your site isn’t optimized for the mobile web, you’re missing a huge demographic of consumers.
