A Victim of a Vicious Hack
Wow, I have been working for the previous 3 days to recover my site from a hacking attack initiated by Russians, or some other country. The Droid Lawyer got "toasted" as a dangerous site.

Battle of the Tablet Signatures
Two new apps popped onto my radar that I think will be very useful for attorneys. Each provide you with the ability to sign documents, or better yet, have clients or other parties sign the documents.
