CHICAGO ― Evan D. Brown, an attorney in Hinshaw’s Chicago office, was quoted in the article, "Targeted Social Media Can Be Valuable Work Tools," which appeared in the Thursday, April 9, 2009, issue of the Chicago Tribune.
The article discusses social networking media, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Martindale-Hubbell Connected, and the growing trend of lawyers and other professionals using these tools. Explaining some of his own reasons for using social media, Brown is quoted in the article as saying "I believe the people who come across my content, whether it's prospective clients or opposing counsel … get some value to seeing that human side of me."
