Create a cross reference in a nearby city so that potential clientssearching in that city will see that your office is located nearby. For example, if you arein the Elizabeth Office Profile, and you enter a city cross reference to Summit, someonewho searches for Summit will see a cross reference to the Elizabeth office.

Firm Name CrossReference

A Firm Name Cross Reference can be useful if your firm's name has recently changed.For example, if your firm name changed from Cooper and White to White and Smith,enter a cross reference under your old firm name.

Frequently asked questions about Office Profiles

What is a Cross Reference?

A cross reference is a "signpost" that enhances your firm's exposure in Martindale-Hubbell print and electronic products.There are two types of cross references:

City cross references appear in nearby cities. When a potential client searches for a firm in those cities, the crossreference will direct them to your Office Profile.

Note:City cross references cannot be added in a city where your firm has a physical office.

Name cross references can be useful if your firm's name has recently changed. This type of cross reference appearsunder your firm's former name in the same city as your Office Profile, and directs potential clients to your firm's newname.

What is the difference between an Office Profile and a Cross Reference?

An Office Profile corresponds to a physical office location. It contains detailed information about your firm, includingcontact information and Lawyer Biographies.

A Cross reference is not an office location and has no personnel. It serves as a signpost to direct readers to your OfficeProfile.

What if I don't want to show a Statement of Practice?

The Statement of Practice is searchable online and on the Martindale-Hubbell Directory on CD-Rom. Omitting theStatement of Practice from your Office Profile can compromise your firm's visibility in these products.

If the Statement of Practice field is left blank, you will be unable to publish your Office Profile. If you are sure that you donot want a Statement of Practice, enter None in this field.

I created an office by mistake. How can I delete it?

Note that an office marked (U.S. - Canadian) or (U.S. - International) is not a duplicate office. This is your firm's listing inthe U.S. section of the Canadian or International directories.

For help with deleting an office profile, see How do I remove an Office Profile?

My firm has more than one office. Can I request an e-proof for all offices at once?

No, you will have to request an e-proof for one location at a time.

I can see my changes on martindale.com®/Lawyers.comSM, but when I request an e-proof from theCSC, it doesn't seem to be updated.

Publishing to martindale.com and Lawyers.com happens separately from updates to the e-proof. Therefore, your changeswill appear on websites before they are available in the CSC.

What does the article status "Declined by MH" mean?

Blogs

What are blogs and how can I use them effectively?

A weblog, or blog, is a personal web page that is frequently updated with posts from its maintainer. The word "blog" canrefer to the weblog itself, an individual post on the weblog, or the act of maintaining a weblog.

Your firm can use the CSC to maintain lawyer blogs about legal topics related to their law practice. These blogs are

published on Lawyers.comSM.

Keep these tips in mind as you write your blog:

Remember to enter a title for your blog posts. A blog is like an article; it has a title and a body.

Blog entries are date- and time-stamped automatically when you first open the blog editor to compose the post. Ifyou have updated a previously posted blog, and want to update the date and time as well, click the clock icon next tothe Date field.

The Blog editor is a "what you see is what you get" editor. This means that you can format your post in the editorexactly as you want it to look once it's published. Use the toolbar at the top of the Entry Body field to format yourpost. Rest your pointer on the buttons to see what each one does.

You can also use the editor to add more advanced features to your blogs, like tables, hyperlinks or images.

Blog posts are categorized by area of practice on Lawyers.com. To categorize your blog correctly, select the area ofpractice that best relates to the topic of your post. (If you want to post the blog in more than one category, you willneed to create multiple copies of the same blog.)

There is currently no spellcheck available for blog posts. Remember to proofread your post before publishing.

There is a 4,000 character limit on blog posts.

Use the CSC to add, edit, and remove blog posts.
