Law - "Dead Law Firm Web Sites Haunt the Web" [Updated]
You have to love the headline, kind of like "Ghost ships haunting the seas ...".
Here is the story, from Brian Baxter of The American Lawyer. Interesting reading. About one firm the author writes:
If there's one silver lining to Thelen's ill-fated merger with New York's Brown Raysman Millstein Felder & Steiner in 2006, it's the 51-page attorney referral list for all the firm's former lawyers. Maybe this should be mandated for all dissolutions.The only "dead firm" I can think of in Indianapolis is Johnson Smith LLC, which closed May 31, 2001 -- I've checked and there is no remaining web site.
[Updated] A reader writes:
Actually another "dead" Indianapolis law firm is Henderson Daily Withrow & DeVoe, where I used to be a partner. It bit the dust in 2004. The website was www.hdlegal.com. I'm pretty sure that web site is longer around either.Correct, the URL returns an "Address not found."
