For most attorneys, information regarding their background and experience is only a click way.  Public information regarding nearly every attorney can typically easily be obtained through a quick online search for the attorney's biography on their firm's website, or perhaps through a networking site such as LinkedIn.

Because of the visibility of such online profiles, many attorneys want to put their best foot forward and include information that highlights their expertise and successes. However, there can be risks when choosing what information to make available to the public online.
