Using Google Voice As A Free Transcription Service

by Ryan McKeen
Here’s something, I’m toying around with. Last night I attended a meeting out of the office.  For a variety of reasons I did not want to take written notes during the meeting.
When I don’t want to take notes, I usually transcribe my notes after the meeting, either while sitting in my car or [...]

How To Sync Abacus To Your Android Phone

by Ryan McKeen
Just finished an article on the Droid for the ABA Journal that will be published in April.
Anyhow, I’ve got this question emailed to me several times: “How do I sync my Android phone with my Abacus software?”
Here’s how:
1. Make sure you have the Abacus companion link installed for abacus on your computer. You [...]

Do Attorneys Charge More Than Legal Zoom For Wills?

by Ryan McKeen
I’m a longtime Sirius Satellite radio subscriber. This alone qualifies me as an expert on Legal Zoom ads. For those who don’t subscribe to satellite radio – let me fill you in: Legal Zoom advertises non-stop on satellite radio.
Every time, I hear one of the legal zoom ads about wills I think that [...]

Smart Phone Security For Lawyers

by Ryan McKeen
Thinking and reading a lot about security features for smart phones. There are countless articles about how the iPhone is unsafe for lawyers because it has to be connected to a network to be remotely swiped and it internally records the actions of the user of the phone.

Why Android Is For Attorneys

by Ryan McKeen
Blogging has been slow around here for the past month. In large part because I have been very busy. Clients and cases come before posts.

Hard At Work On A New Website For Leone, Throwe, Teller & Nagle

by Ryan C. McKeen
Somehow I became my firm’s tech guy.
My firm existed long before the internet. For years, our webpage looked like it was designed before the internet. In fact, one of the reasons I started this blog was because the firm’s site was so bad. Thankfully it no longer exists.

Running And The Law: You Need A Sherpa

by Ryan McKeen
This is the first of several posts on what I’ve learned about law through running.
The first and most important lesson is that someone starting out in law needs a sherpa.
Before I ran, I used to scoff at running books on the shelf. I thought who needs a book on running? It’s just a [...]

One of the jobs of an attorney after a real estate closing is to record the transaction on the land records.
This involves an attorney driving to the town hall where the property is located and physically recording the documents.
Of all the legislation that will take effect on October 1, 2009. The Uniform Real [...]

Bloomberg Law….Really Awesome

by Ryan McKeen
A month or so ago, I wrote a post about how I’ve come to dislike westlaw. Westlaw’s interface hasn’t changed much since I first logged in as a 1L.  I find search results with Westlaw to be hit or miss.
Because of the that post, I was contacted by the people at Bloomberg Law. [...]

    I'd like to thank you for reading this blog, my firm for supporting my blogging efforts, and my team of editors (my mom) for correcting some of my mistakes. I get a number of requests to add blogs to my blogroll. I have no problem doing this if I like your blog. By like I mean, I do not add links from ads that pose as blogs. Thanks again. I hope you enjoy my efforts.
