VENICE, CALIF. November 29, 2007 - National law practice management expert, Ed Poll J.D. M.B.A. CMC, has been recognized by the editors of the ABA Journal as having one of the top 100 best websites by lawyers, for lawyers. Poll, founder of LawBiz® Management Co, uses his law blog (or "blawg"), www.LawBizBlog.com, to inform attorneys about the sound strategies, best practices, and business metrics needed to bolster firm profits.

"Lawyers nationwide are using the power of the Internet to educate the public about developments in the law, market their practices, and attract new clients," says Edward A. Adams, the Journal's editor and publisher. "Our list of the 100 best lawyer blogs is the cream of the crop from our directory of more than 1,500 blawgs in dozens of categories, including blawgs focused on almost every state, law school, and major federal court in the nation."

Poll, who also writes the weekly column "Coach's Corner" for Lawyers Weekly, addresses the operations and practice development issues that lawyers are not formally trained to perform. As a former practicing attorney and CEO in the manufacturing industry, Poll understands that the business strategies that make companies profitable are the same for law firms. He believes that for some lawyers there is a disconnect between focusing on the output of a firm in terms of handling case loads and briefs and crafting a business plan that includes a formal billing process and marketing strategy.

"It's great to see that my work is being honored by readers and the editors at the ABA Journal," says Poll. "I strive to continually provide insightful and informative information on law firm business management that is accessible and results-driven. This recognition shows me that firms are still thirsty to learn how to effectively develop the profitability component of their business."

Lawyers are being asked to vote on their favorites in each of the Blawg 100's 12 categories. Poll's LawBizBlog.com is a nominee in the Lawyer's Toolkit category. To vote, go to http://www.abajournal.com/blawgs/blawg100. Voting ends Jan. 2, 2008.
