Here’s what our clients have to say
Fairfax Virginia Personal Injury Lawyer, Ben Glass, says, “Gerry Oginski is the master of online video. If you have not seen his videos, you should. He’s done more videos than any lawyer out there. The big edge that Gerry has over his competition is that his videos allow consumers to get to ‘know’ him before they even pick up the phone. His use of video on his website and his video blog is amazing.”

Mark Merenda, CEO of SmartMarketing for attorneys says “My clients love the fact that he’s a lawyer and not just some wedding photographer with a video camera.”
Gerry’s videos are great! Aside from turning out technically superb pictures, he understands the legal marketing field, the right questions to ask, and the concerns attorneys have about their professional image. That means his subjects relax and convey an authenticity that could never be achieved by reading from a script. I highly recommend Gerry’s services to any lawyer who wants to create an instant bond with potential clients.

Tom Foster of Fosterwebmarketing had this to say: “Gerry, once again your attitude and your marketing is right on target. It AIN’T ABOUT YOU! it’s about what you can do to help someone, and if your video message answers that question in the clients mind – they will contact you 99% of the time. You are brilliant and I am happy to know you and read your contributions.”

Here’s a great note I received from Tanner Jones at Consultwebs.com after listening to my presentation at a Lawyer Marketing Seminar (PILMMA) in North Carolina: “Good morning, Gerry. Our team thoroughly enjoyed your presentation while in North Carolina. You have obviously mastered the technique and have done a superb job at marketing your law firm via online video. We have all read and enjoyed your book, “How really Smart Lawyers are using Video on the Web to Get More Cases.” I have already encouraged a prospective client to browse through your site and view your videos as an example of what the ideal legal video should be.”

“Gerry Oginski is THE guru about internet video marketing for lawyers. His approach of educating lawyers to provide clients, potential clients, and the general public with the content they need when they need it—and to do so in an engaging way that connects the attorney with the viewer—is helping attorneys communicate in the most effective manner possible. Don’t believe me that Gerry’s video services and consultation is the industry leader? All you have to do is look at who his clients are. They are a virtual “who’s who” of the leading internet legal marketers. Whenever I have a question or idea about using video for my practice, Gerry is the first person I contact.”

?”We are way behind the US in terms of use of video marketing but are getting there slowly. There are certain professions which could benefit greatly from using video as a marketing tool on their website and the legal profession is most certainly one of them.
Gerry, your videos show that you are a tremendous proponent of what to say and how to say it. You understand what your prospective clients are looking for and you take away the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) by answering the questions that your potential clients are using the web to find out about. The content is informative, relaxed and very professional. I am sure your PI business is booming!
We will be working to encourage UK law firms to utilize these techniques to market their services as opposed to the normal Law firm websites which are very introspective and boring. Excellent stuff.”

“Gerry Oginski is a master of online-video marketing for lawyers. He creates excellent video and is valuable source of information. But, don’t take my word for this — view Gerry’s videos and judge for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.”
Jeremy Richey, Esq.
“For anyone interested in information-based marketing, I can’t think of anyone else – nor would I want to – for advice on how to produce videos yourself. I value your judgment on what belongs, and perhaps more importantly, what doesn’t belong, in these videos. Your webinar was very informative, and was a well-made distillation of the video tips you put out all the time (I watch a lot of them). Please let me know when the next one is coming.”

“Gerry’s advice regarding Attorney Video Marketing is spot on. You cannot afford not to listen to him. As a pioneer, he has blazed the trail for us all. Our firm would not trust outsourcing our legal marketing to just anyone. It is critical that any vendors we use in marketing our law firm be owned or at least managed by an attorney as there are too many ethical pitfalls that a non-attorney marketer may fall into.”

Attorney Herman Klemick says, “I thought that your webinar on Creating Videos for Attorneys was powerful. It stressed that the Videos should be interesting, short, informative and not about ourselves. Our office had just finished some videos and we will be editing them based on the tips you gave me.”

Henry Harlow, a member of the Lawyers’ Video Studio on Facebook said this: “All I can say is Amen to what Gerry and Kevin are saying. In sales and marketing the emotional reasons to buy seems to rule the day with human beings. If a person has a positive impression of an attorney as a person they are more likely to hire them. Video enables the attorney to create that positive bond with the visitor to the website and then the logical reasons to buy will reinforce that emotional decision already put in place from the video.”

Joe Tran, a member of the Lawyers’ Video Studio on Facebook said this recently: “You are a diamond! I’m in the marketing/advertising world and just absolutely a fan of your work. I think it is such great branding for you and at the sametime you provide useful content that’s so warm and approachable. I just saw the ABA Journal on “Law Firm Websites That Work”. Your insights are great and that is why with all the great law firm websites out there you rise above the pack in the ABA journal featuring ‘what makes a great website’.”

Sanda Rohrstaff, Virginia Trial Lawyer (and Virginia Trial Lawyer’s Association President)? says this about a video I created for Fairfax trial attorney David Kaufman: “David [Kaufman] and I are both in Fairfax, VA, and I watch him. His marketing position is being a tough guy (and is not hype; he’s a good trial lawyer). I’ve heard this story many times, but this video SHOWs that personal side of him. Great job.”
“Once again, great job on the videos. Truly some of the best I’ve seen an actual attorney take the time to do. I was really impressed with what you are doing to market your firm. You definitely have the gift of the gab and come across very well on camera.”

Mike Acosta, a Video Production Manager in Florida had this to say:
“I had the pleasure of speaking last week with the “Innovator” of Online Video use for attorneys, Mr. Gerry Oginski in New York. Attorneys need to learn to use online video, as a client conversion tool and educational tool to convert more website visitors into calling clients.
For any of you who have been living under a rock, Gerry Oginski is the person many of us in the Online Videos and white label video platform world consider solely responsible for the movement by law firms to use online videos on their websites. Gerry started doing this years ago when everybody thought it was too difficult, time consuming and required a huge investment and that professionally produced online video was too costly to adapt.
Gerry single handedly has changed the way attorneys are viewed by their website visitors. You see, Gerry “gets it.” He decided that instead of using online videos on his website to pitch his firms’ expertise and how he can handle your case, he decided it was better to educate his website visitors about the questions they have, prior to calling an attorney.
Remember, calling an Attorney is still a very “scary thought” for most people, so that is why they research your website first. On www.Oginski-Law.com his library of legal educational tips is the perfect example of how successful the online video market for attorneys can be. His educational video tips allow anyone to see Gerry’s personality, his genuine concern for his clients and how passionate he is as an attorney, hell bent on helping any of his clients WIN THEIR CASE!
A quick glance on www.compete.com shows www.Oginski-Law.com monthly website traffic is up a staggering + 37.23% and his yearly website traffic is up +59.38% in just 1 year’s time! Ask yourself and your Law Firm’s Marketing Team “What do I have to do to get these kind of monthly and yearly website traffic increases from our Firm’s website?”
You’re going to have to do it with online video, from your website and by using online video networks like YouTube, to drive traffic from YouTube back to your firm’s website.
And, if you want to learn how to do it, you should book-mark http://www.oginski-law.com, because after I spoke to Gerry last week while compiling some information for our monthly Law Firm Video marketing newsletter, Gerry Oginski is on the verge of doing something that will turn the Law Firm Online Video market upside down over the next 12 months….stay tuned to www.Oginski-Law.com.
Here’s some really bad news: If you’re a New York Attorney trying to compete with Gerry, you are about 2 year’s behind and well over 200 videos late to the game!
If I were a law firm looking to add online videos to my website, I would call Gerry Oginski and “pay” him to come conduct a seminar, about how to use online video as a Law Firm Marketing tool. His expertise in the field is invaluable to any Law Firm looking to tap the greatest marketing tool ever to be used by Law Firms; Online Videos.”
Mike Acosta is a Viral Video Channel Consultant with www.HBProductionGroup.com, a white label video platform software application that has helped them launch over 100 online viral video channels for website integration into many company websites. His expertise in the areas of Affordable Online Video production services with a packaged video platform can be seen at www.PowerTVOnline.com.
YourOnlineVideoChannel.com produces a monthly Law Firm Online Video Newsletter to educate Law Firms about how to cost effectively use online professionally produced video content on their websites.

Attorney Richard Habiger says “Gerry, I can’t thank you enough for guiding me through what would have been a disaster had anyone but you been behind the camera. My power point slides somehow disappeared from my laptop when using the hotel wireless internet … or maybe it was my “fat finger”. In any event, I knew the stuff because I had been giving public seminars on the content for years. But I tend to freeze without a visual cue. So, without visual cues, the day could well have been a huge disaster. While my practice niche is Elder Law, not PI or MedMal, you were like a football or basketball coach; despite my usual stumbles without visual cues, you were successful in getting me to go beyond the stumbles to a successful video shoot. Many thinks for your coaching!”
