Fraser Web Week: Find Us Friday!

One of the most exciting features of our new website is our enhanced search functionality. Although our website navigation was designed to be user friendly and easy to maneuver, we understand that sometimes you are in a hurry and need to find very specific information in a short amount of time.

With this in mind, you can now jump to the top of any page and use our entire “site search” tool to find information relevant to the topic you’re looking for. To use the full website search function, simply select the magnifying glass icon in the top right of the screen.

We’ve also built in specific search bars on pages where you may want to narrow information more quickly: practice pages, attorney bios, and blogs. By giving you the option of navigating the site based on your own preference, each user can find answers efficiently and easily.

As we wrap up our #FraserWebWeek, we’d like to thank the team at Moncur Associates for helping us bring this new website to life! They helped us pull together the many pieces of this design and development with much creativity, expertise, and professionalism.

Fraser Web Week: Throwback Thursday

If the walls of the Boji Tower could talk, they would have more than 130 years-worth of stories to share about Fraser Trebilcock lawyers. Since these walls can’t speak, we’ll share a few #ThrowbackThursday photos of our own – each worth a thousand words! Continue reading

Fraser Web Week: ‘Why Us’ Wednesday

Fraser Web Week: Tablet Tuesday

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to find an answer quickly on a website – when the site won’t work right on your mobile device. Pinching and scrolling over content to simply find a phone number is a thing of the past. When designing our new website, we wanted to be sure that our users – no matter how they access our site – can use it seamlessly. Therefore, one of the most important features of the new website is its responsive design, which is a technique that allows the website to adjust screen size to work flawlessly on a desktop computer, mobile phone or a variety of tablets.

In addition to the responsive design, we understand that many clients use our website for quick and easy access to our office directions. We enabled each office location to have its own page with the address, phone number, location overview, and parking instructions right at your fingertips. If you would like turn-by-turn navigation, you are able to open the preview map in Google Maps to get the most efficient driving directions from your starting point to each of our offices.

Fraser Web Week: Manic Monday

Dealing with Monday morning email inboxes can be difficult. A whole weekend worth of email has piled up and it’s hard to know where to start. The same can be said for your news source – there are many ways to get up-to-date news and information. But what if you don’t have time to check it all, or need specific information right away on a complex legal matter?

All week, we’ll showcase our new website and its many features designed to simplify and enhance your experience with Fraser Treblicock – starting with a great way to help ease some of the pain of your manic Mondays!

Lunch and Learn: Fraser Trebilcock Associates Mentor Next Generation of Lawyers

Fraser Trebilcock’s associate attorneys welcomed 12 summer interns from the Ingham County Probate Court for a Lunch and Learn at the firm’s Lansing office last week. The interns ranged from recent college graduates, to current law school students, to recent law school graduates. During the meeting, the associates shared insight from their career paths, as well as ideas on how to get ahead and set yourself apart from the rest of the professional legal pack.

The interns asked excellent questions about how choices made now would help to mold their futures in law. For instance, all of the associates agreed: find a specialty of law that you love to practice.

“It was very helpful to be on the business side of the law firm relationship,” said associate J.J. Burchman, who explained that being in both private practice and in-house counsel helped him provide better service to clients. “I was able to figure out what a business wanted from its law firm and better provide that service to clients.”

Work ethic and tips to working efficiently were also addressed. “One of the most important things I learned was to know when to say, ‘I don’t know’ to a senior partner,” added Melisa Mysliwiec. “It’s worse to give an incorrect answer than to ask for time to get the right one.”

Other topics included advice on which extracurricular groups were most helpful in practical legal experience, the importance of community involvement, and tips on networking.
