Sharon Nelson and John Simek of Sensei Enterprises, Inc. have an article in the GPSOLO publication of The American Bar Association titled: FAMILY LAW: Common Ethical Pitfalls of Digital Marketing.

Lawyers can inadvertently get into trouble with Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, blogs, website optimization and a variety of other marketing tools in the digital age.  A few bad apples may flaunt the rules while other attorneys are simply trying to figure out what is proper and what is not.

This article contains common problems that are associated with social media from an ethical viewpoint and what you can do to avoid them.

What you post on online the data may live forever as it has now become routine to archive someone else’s blog or website.  Removing unethical information from your own site does not necessarily remove the evidence of the offense.  Digital marketing is here to stay so it is important for lawyers to continue to educate themselves about these new tools and if they are uncertain how to proceed they should seek ethical guidance from their state bars.  The best way to avoid difficulties is to stay informed and exercise caution on the web.
