Hi, tassos,

I am a forensic psychologist (specialize in providing psychological services in legal settings) married to an attorney who spent 25 years of his career as a Professor of Law. I, too, have had the privilege of teaching in several law schools in the US. Unless this term has some specific meaning internationally, we do not believe that it has any "special" meaning. It is certainly not a well-known and used legal term in the U.S.

It appears to be one of the many combinations of words that people put together with "legal" or "law" to create a domain name that is not already registered. It might be someone's awkward attempt to indicate that a lawyer is a "leader" in his or her field, but you can see that the juxtaposition and order of the words is far less powerful than a name such as 'TopLawyer.com' or "LeadingLawFirm.com" would be.

I wish that I had better news for you, but in my humble opinion, this domain name is not a really strong one that others will be beating down your door to purchase. Good luck with your sale of this name. If I hear of anything different, I will certainly update my opinion about the name.

We do have a couple of attorneys on this site, and I'm sure that they will jump in and add their comments if they see your message. Take care!!

Warmest regards,
Sheila

Good luck with the law domains, like the .us ones, however ,I don't think that attorney is used in the UK, lawyer, barrister, solicitor perhaps.

Hi! I haven't forgotten to come back and reply to your qppraisal question about the new domain names you registered. Three out of 4 are very nice names, and they are generic enough to appeal to an attorney or group of attorneys in almost any city.

Dotus is correct about the use of the term "attorney" in the UK. There, attorneys are referred to as solicitors and/or barristers, and not attorneys, so I wouldn't expecrt a lawyer in the UK to purchase the TopAttorney.co.uk as his or her primary site name.

On the other hand, I have thought of a use that a British attorney could use for that name, and that would be to advertise legal services to folks from North America, who are much more likely to think of such a person as a "lawyer" or "attorney." Used as a secondary domain name to direct this type of traffic to a solicitor or barrister in the UK would be a very solid use of this domain name.

After having said that, I will now revise my original statement. In my opinion, you have registered 4 very good domain names, tassos, and you are to be congratulated on having done so.

I would not expect any of these four names to result in a sale that can fund any early retirement plans, but nevertheless they may do very well, indeed. It is all a matter of figuring out a way to market these names to members of the legal community, or just having them in your portfolio when an attorney stops by to see if you have a name that might work for his or her practice.

Even though I am very familiar with lawyers and the legal community and i have even taught courses in one of the top 10 law schools in the U.S. according to the new U.S. News and World Report's ranking of U.S. law schools, I have not really figured out the best way to approach this community.

My observations suggest that part of the "problem" so to speak is that there are huge numbers of attorneys who are just now beginning to realize that the Internet is an essential place in which to market their services. When I attend meetings of our state's bar association in order to market my domains, I find myself spending most of my time ansering questions about why an Internet site is even important. Professionals in law and medicine, at least in my part of the world, are just plain slow in seeing an understanding why the Internet is important for them.

In addition, there are many lawyers who seem to think that what they need is their law firm name, followed by an extension, and clients are magically going to find their serivces.

For example, many lawyers would rather register a domain names such as "DeweyCheatemAndHowe.com" rather than a site such as "DenverFamilyLaw.com," even though potential clients in Denver might not have a clue about the attorney's name, but would know the type of attorney they were looking for. and would find his or her services that way.

Anyhow, it seems to me that in the legal and medical areas, at least in some places, the domain name game is played very differently than it is in other areas of specialty. As a result, the rules for what is likely to work as a successful domain in these specialties is also very different from the standards in other areas.

I wish that I could give you a better prediction about how much the domains you have registered are likely to bring, but a great deal really does depend upon your actions involved in marketing the names and bringing them to the attention of potential buyers. Just keep in mind that if someone tells you that your domain names are worthless, they are likely to be applying standards that work well in other specialty areas, but do not work so well in law.

One other thought ... I think that if I were you, I might be winning to hold on the the .us domain a little longer before trying to sell it at a particular price, simply because I think that the .us values have not really begun to rise appreciably in the legal area. Remember ... some of the legal folks are a bit slower than their counterparts in other specialties, so they have not yet exhausted all of the good .coms yet.

In any case, I have really enjoyed "chatting" with you about these issues, and I really thank you from the bottom of my heart for the very generous donation of DN dollars that you donated to me. And byt he way, your command of the English language is really VERY good. If you ever need to dscuss some of the subtle differences between different words because English is not your first language, I'll be happy to act as a sounding board. So far, you seem to be doing great.

Now, if I were to try to register anything in GREEK, that would truly be a disaster!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Have a wonderful day!!

Warmest regards,
Sheila

"law leader" has no recognized meaning. Maybe you are thinking of the term "loss leader"?
