Siskind,
Susser, Haas & Devine, the pu
b
lisher of Siskind's
Immigration Bulletin and the producer of the Visalaw.com we
b
site has
b
een selected as the
recipient of the Platinum Award
b
y The
Internet Marketing Attorney, an eZine that ranks and reviews law fi
rm
we
b
sites. The IMA 2003 awards
select fi
rm
s in three categories:
-
large fi
rm
s;
-
small and mid-sized fi
rm
s; and
-
international fi
rm
s
SSHD's
site was selected as the
b
est in the small and
mid-sized category. However, the site scored as the highest for any of the three
categories.
In
its review of Visalaw.com, IMA had this to say:
"For
many involved in law fi
rm
we
b
site
development, this is where it all started. With
Greg
Siskin
d
and
Visalaw.com. You would
b
e hard-pressed
to find anyone on the planet involved in either the practice of immigration law
or law fi
rm
we
b
sites that
have not
b
een to this
site at some point in time. This is where immigration lawyers go to
lea
rn what
immigration lawyers should know. This is the site that people point to as the
b
est example of
how a small fi
rm
used the
Internet to
b
ecome a
“player”. And this year, Visalaw f
ina
lly succum
b
ed to retiring
the weakest component—a really dra
b
design—and
now has a site with look and functionality to compliment some of the most
content-rich info
rm
ation availa
b
le in a field
of practice. This level of success does not come without a tremendous amount of
time and energy (more than money),
b
ut they do not
b
uy content
from others or spend money getting the we
b
site
promoted—they succeed using their own credentials and person-power—a lesson
for fi
rm
s of all sizes
and practices. Visalaw does not pay sites to post articles. People come here as
the des
t
ina
tion for info
rm
ation."
Greg
Siskin
d
, founding
partner of SSHD, noted that the fi
rm
is very
honored to receive the award. "When we started the we
b
site nearly
nine years ago, there were just a few other law fi
rm
we
b
sites online
and it was easy to get attention. But now with tens of thousands of other law fi
rm
we
b
sites out
there, to receive this kind of recognition is especially gratifying. The fi
rm
's lawyers and
staff put a tremendous amount of effort into this site every day and we are
elated that the work has
b
een
recognized."
