Answer in the comments.

Read the answers to last week's question: Do you use social media to market your professional efforts?

Featured answer:

Posted by Public Interest: "Yes, we use it as much as possible to reach out to the bar and clients about our work. My issue is the amount of time it takes to service all of the platforms. The interface and presentation a firm or lawyer has on social media communicates volumes about their practice. So yes to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and two websites--a statewide and law firm site."
