Find an Internet lawyer

Are you looking for an Internet lawyer?

The term “Internet lawyer” can mean many things. Before looking for an Internet lawyer, you may want to consider what type of legal help you need from one.

For example, do you need an Internet lawyer to sue someone, to defend you in a lawsuit, to represent your online business, or to help you protect your intellectual property?

What does an Internet lawyer do?

An Internet lawyer often focuses on a few niches in cyber law. These include:

  • Internet business transactions (contracts, joint ventures, buying and selling web businesses)
  • Website legal protection (website privacy policies, membership agreements, etc.)
  • Defamation, spam, and privacy lawsuits
  • Intellectual property protection (copyrights, service marks, trademarks, and patents)
  • Alternative dispute resolution (mediation and arbitration)

When comparing Internet lawyers, you’ll want to know which of these niches you’ll need help with the most so you can make an informed decision as to who can best represent you.

Business Attorney or Internet Lawyer

Very few business attorneys understand Internet law. This means that you’re paying them to learn about it when you hire them to handle a legal matter.

On the other hand, many Internet lawyers represent businesses both in their online and offline activities. When you retain an Internet lawyer who focuses on e-commerce, there’s a good chance he can handle many of your business legal needs as part of the representation.

Advantages of Hiring an Internet Lawyer

Unless you’re involved with a lawsuit, your Internet lawyer probably doesn’t even need to meet you in person in order to represent you. This saves you time and money.

Instead, you will communicate with each other mostly by e-mail, telephone, and sometimes using a service like Skype.

This means you can get an Internet lawyer who practices law in a different city than where you live. In fact, there may not even be an Internet law firm in your hometown because the field is so specialized.

Most other types of attorneys insist on meeting you face-to-face. This means you drive to an office, try to find parking, and pay for a meeting that could have taken a lot less time if you had simply talked with each other by phone.

How To Hire An Internet Lawyer

Once you have decided on the type of legal work you need done by an Internet lawyer, check out the websites of several Internet law firms to get a feel for what type of work they do and whether or not they really understand the Internet.

Pick one that’s a good match and schedule a confidential initial consultation with that Internet lawyer. Unless you like to waste time and money, it makes sense for that first meeting with the Internet lawyer to be held by telephone instead of at an office.

Every Internet law firm should have a client ethics policy

Internet Law Firm Client Honesty Policy

In order to better represent those who do business honestly, our Internet law firm’s policy is to only represent clients who agree to follow the Internet Ethics Council’s (IEC) Code of Professional Responsibility.

Whether or not a client is a member of the IEC is not as important as the commitment to follow the ethics code when selling goods and services on the Internet.

Prospective and Former Internet Law Firm Clients

In the past, our Internet law firm has declined to represent prospective clients who we knew were dishonest.

We also terminated representation of a few clients who decided to take advantage of others through unfair business practices.

Are we the moral police? Of course not.

Everyone makes mistakes. But a mistake is different than a business model based on fraud, manipulation, and deceit.

To continue advocating honesty and transparency without being hypocritical, it is time to step up and proactively ask our clients to treat their customers with dignity and respect.

Our Internet law firm chooses to represent only those who are trying to do right by their customers.

Questions About This Internet Law Firm Policy

If you have any questions about this Internet law firm policy, please feel free to contact us.

Internet Law Firm: Marketer – Will You Sell Me Your Integrity?

internet law firm marketing ethics

As the owner of an Internet law firm, let me play Devil’s Advocate…

Is the real “you” for sale? If so, how much do you want for your integrity?

Don’t take it personally. Almost every major Internet info product marketer sells themselves these days. I’m just playing the numbers by asking what your sales price happens to be.

Let’s call it “Hidden Continuity of the Soul.” With each dishonest transaction, you throw in a little piece of your ethics as a bonus.

If I buy your get-rich-quick product that doesn’t work, how much of you do I get with it? Frankly, it ought be worth at least 10 minutes of lost sleep. How about a deep sense of shame when you look at yourself in the mirror. You can still do that, right?

Or have you done it for so long that there’s simply nothing left to sell? There’s no “you” left.

If that’s the case, I guess that congratulations are in order. You’ve become a sociopath. You’re the dream defendant when an Internet law firm gets involved on behalf of someone you’ve screwed.

At that point, you’ll be able to justify any means to accomplish your ends in Internet marketing. Because there’s no substance left, like a chameleon you’ll be able to change your public face quickly to sell big ticket items of little value.

From “Good Christian” to “Rebel Stoner” the possibilities are endless because you know that there’s more than one sucker born per minute. When in Rome, you’re a Roman. The money, not the man behind the mask, is what counts.

Because everything comes with a price, ask yourself this question? Did I get a reasonable return on my investment? Has it really been worth it to you?

If not, you probably owe some apologies. Start with yourself. How could you sell your integrity so cheaply? Then apologize to your victims…and get out of Internet marketing.

Now if you haven’t sold your integrity, let me congratulate you.

What do you think of this issue?

For the ethical entrepreneur reading this, to your success!
