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!”
