This is what happens when you don’t hire a professional copywriter

As I believe I’ve mentioned here before, I’m a freelance copywriter with many years of experience crafting professional writing.  Although the benefits of hiring a professional copywriter are well-documented, once in a while people try to do it themselves.  Usually what happens is they find that it’s not as easy at it looks, give up quickly, and hire a copywriter anyway.  Sometimes, though, amateur copy gets passed through anyway, which inevitably ends up resulting in embarrassment for all concerned.  Witness this otherwise fairly professional-looking Philadephia legal website: I don’t know for sure that they cheaped out on the copywriting end, but either way, whatever they did didn’t work out so well.  I just picture a police officer saying, “Thank god his injuries were only fatal.   He could have suffered serious injuries!”

It seems that this law firm has already taken your comments into consideration. Their content is much different today.
I can’t believe how horrible that page was, I thought lawyers had to pass English 101 in college.
