About Russell Matson

Computers are going to take over certain legal tasks—the practice of law will focus more on advice.” Ricardo Anzaldua (General Counsel with MetLife) In the age of digital technology, veteran and incoming legal professionals will have to be able to adapt the standards of law with the new platforms available that will streamline, and even in some cases, automate the legal practice. With my 20+ year history in criminal law, I was an early adapter of legal technology and took the initiative to learn and utilize digital marketing methods to build my practice into one of the biggest (and most technologically advanced) defense firms in the area. Outside of my practice, I am the co-founder of a legal lead generation business that focuses on using technology solutions to bring the client to you. Get Lawyer Leads (getlawyerleads.com) acts as a digital pipeline management system where we connect warm leads and natural search leads of potential clients seeking assistance to lawyers ready to help.
