Jeffrey Phillips, a personal injury lawyer, wants his clients to better understand the direct correlation of the success of their legal cases and their social media accounts. The information shared by the SMH Law Office of Jeffrey Phillips can be found on the blog section of the firm's website. Here, Jeffrey Phillips advises that posts from previous months or years can be used against clients if they aren't careful with sharing personal details of their lives.

Attorney Jeffrey Phillips explains: "Ranting on social media is a common occurrence. Most people will rant about everything from current events in the news to things that have happened in their private lives. These rants on social media can come back to haunt clients later on. Whether clients are trying to clean up their image to be seen as a more professional businessperson or the clients are going through a court case where their reputation will be called into question, a social media cleanup is a good thing."

Throughout the blog post, personal injury lawyer Jeffrey Phillips explains the significance of discovery laws, and how social media can be called into account during modern cases. In the past, Phillips explains that telephone logs and witness testimonies would be used for this type of evidence in a case, but the modern convenience of social media, e-mail, and other digital communications can also be used to smear somebody's character in the eye of a judge and jury.

While the majority of the blog post relates to clients and how they can improve on managing social media to steer clear of trouble, Phillips also touches on the trouble that lawyers can get themselves into while using the same tools. The informative update is one of many, which Jeffrey Phillips has included in his website. Current and potential clients are invited by the firm to read this and other updates as they are posted. The SMH Law Office has made it clear that their intention behind these updates is to keep the public informed, as well as to prove the authority which the firm holds in personal injury cases.
