Need another award for your law firm? Buy a plaque.
Seriously.
According to Patrick Byers at the Responsible Marketing Blog, one can be had from the US Local Business Association. Click through to read the misleading email here: Awards for Sale: Not a rewarding experience. (For the record, Avvo verifies all awards submitted to the site to ensure they are more than a snazzy piece of mahogany with gold writing.)
Here at Avvo, we’re sad to note the death of Sydney Pollack. Pollack directed two notable legal dramas: The Firm and Absence of Malice (included in NYT’s book of 1,000 best films). In addition, he acted and produced last year’s legal thriller Michael Clayton. Interestingly, he had also been slated to direct Recount, a finely-crafted HBO Film that I saw this past weekend - but had to withdraw because of his illness.

What brings this Susan LeFevre to the top of the list? Confusion over another person of the same name who is still battling jail after 32 years of life on the outside.

Well, not exactly. We do have a new member of our team though, and his name is Martin Dale. Well…actually its just Martin.
Martin has only been here a few weeks, but he has already added a lot to the team: helped reduce stress, increased morale and generally made us feel better. The option to take a break with Martin is much better than pushing through a long day without him. You just can’t help but smile when you see his lovable face.
The first day on the job is never easy. Martin had it rough. He thought he was doing a nice thing by leaving a warm package for Mark in front of his desk…little did he know, Mark hates that sort of stuff. I think they’re doing better now…working on a relationship that they can both appreciate.
