We had the privilege of interviewing Sarah Manning, an Associate with the Charles S. Beach firm.
How long have you been in business? Where are you located?
Ms. Manning: Our firm has been in existence for approximately ten years. I’ve been here since 2007. Our office is located in downtown Chicago and we deal with cases that are primarily in Cook and DuPage counties.
What are your specialties?
Ms. Manning: Since we are a criminal defense firm, we can handle anyone who gets arrested. However, we do specialize in DUI and revoked driving defense. We have extensive experience in these types of cases and are very successful in defending our clients. Because of our experience in this area, I am often asked to give advice to attorneys in other firms who are defending clients in DUI cases.
Who are your clients?
Ms. Manning: Our clients come from all walks of life and from all over the greater Chicagoland area. We can help anyone who has been arrested, especially in the area of DUI defense.
What changes have taken place in your industry?
Ms. Manning: Because of the current economy, many legal specialties such as real estate law have been hit pretty hard. Since DUI and revoked driving defense are often seen as “easy” cases, we have more competition from attorneys who have expanded the types of cases that they handle. However, we have been going to court and fighting for our clients in this area for 10 years. We have the knowledge and experience that few others have.
What marketing or branding strategies have you found to be the most effective way of reaching potential clients?
Ms. Manning: We send out direct mailers on a weekly basis and also use a Yellow Pages ad. Many of our clients come to us through word of mouth and repeat referrals. We have also started venturing into the world of social networking and are in the process of revising our website.
What message would you like to send?
Ms. Manning: If you get pulled over for suspicion of driving while under the influence, our advice is to refuse the tests (Breathalyzer and field sobriety) and call us as soon as possible. We offer free consultations. We have a very high success rate in defending our clients because we have the experience and knowledge of the law and the court system.
