BBQ + Honky Tonks + Nolo + Criminal Defense = Austin & the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys

"Not Guilty! Making It Happen with Cutting-Edge Defenses"

NACDL Mid Winter Meeting - February 24 - 27, 2010 Austin, TX

Criminal defense attorneys from all over the country have descended upon the state capitol of Texas to learn more about the art and practice of criminal defense law. Many federal public defenders are here as well as solo and small firm practitioners, all looking to fulfill their required Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits while enjoying some of that world-class Texas hospitality and charm, fabulous BBQ and nightly live music that Austin has to offer.

Conference topics range from "Storytelling & the Art of Persuasion" to "Building, Running & Enjoying the Million dollar Solo Practice" and have been well received by the attorneys that we've spoken with.

"A lot of criminal defense attorneys are isolated, like on their own islands, and come to our meetings for the camaraderie and networking opportunities to meet with other defense attorneys," says Jim Bergman, Director of Sales & Marketing for NACDL. "Things change so fast in today's legal world and these attorneys want to be up on the issues."

Nolo is here to connect those attorneys in different parts of the country where we have strong consumer demand and who are able to and willing to take on new clients. Ironically, most attorneys that we've spoken with are not familiar with Nolo but are very receptive and open to the benefits of working with us and helping out our consumers.
