Five checks for firms near stadiums and campuses
Each of these takes a few minutes and tells you whether these searchers can find you.
Search from the venue
Stand near the nearest large stadium or arena and search for an assault or DUI lawyer on your phone. Note which firms show up in the map results.
Check your late-night answering
Games end late. Call your own number at 11 p.m. on a game night and see what happens.
Look for a student athlete page
If a parent searched for help with a college athlete’s arrest, would anything on your site speak to them directly?
Review what you’ve posted about named people
Remove or rewrite any posts that comment on a specific person’s pending case.
Date your betting content
If you have a gambling or betting page, confirm it reflects current state law and shows when it was last reviewed.
