every major firm has their own name as a dot com
now lawyers are major local advertisers, look at the back page of your local yellow pages, who's there? most likely a lawyer
lawyers spend large amounts advertising in the local media
major firms do not spend large amounts advertising nationally
a short time ago it was against the ethics of the ABA to advertise
so lawyers are now aggressive advertisers in local media
what works better for a lawyer on a radio or tv ad?

the key words for any attorney to own for maximum advertising recall are
law / legal / attorney / lawyer
any of these names with an i or and e or even a 1 or one are valuable net real estate to any potential end user
now lawyers are one of the largest groups of small business owners in the US
when I deal with them I show them 1Law.com and laugh, the boss wants to use it one day as a legal portal, so unless you have a ton of cash it's really not for sale
but we have this and that as well as that etc
1law.com is a hook we use to get the ears of any attorney
it works
so we know the value of it
now you all hate zero domains right?
you know how many times a week I could sell D0CT0R.com
we get offered hundreds and even occassionally thousands of dollars for it
why don't we sell?
we use it as a great hook
we can legally put D0CT0R.com on a banner or text link across our large network and people come flocking to see D0CT0R.com for sale CHEAP
so as much as some hate 1 and zero dom's the fact is to a doctor D0CT0R.com is a great name, why? on the net his banner can say D0CT0R.com as well as his text links, and if you operate websites you know banners and text links next to search engine position are the way you do net biz
now a 1 or zero domain name is not the most valuable net RE in the world, but the right keyword with a 1 or using a zero or even the dreaded hypen does have a decent value to an end user
what lawyer wouldn't want L-A-W.com on his business card? looks great doesn't it
what stock broker or RE broker wouldn't want B-R-O-K-E-R.com on his business card
ever hear of vanity?
these are vanity dom's and well worth the reg fee
why?
you can sell them fast over and over for many multiples of a reg fee
if you throw in hosting/design/promotion etc you can get a large deal using a minor domain to hook the vanity of a small businessman that wants to see
L-A-W.com or 1Law.com or iLaw.com on his card
or on his yellow page ad
or on his tv ad
all you have to do is try one of these dom's
reg one for what 8 or 9 bucks or less if you have a 6 buck enom account
then go to a bbs/usenetgroup/chatroom for that industry
say excuse me, this is a one time post but I have something many of you could use 1KEYWORD.com
I will host it and do the design of the site
please contact me and I'll give you references of happy clients
you could sell these names over and over and over again
I know I see offers all the time for what many think are not worth much more than reg fees
they're wrong
the reason is I get the offers all day on this stuff so I know
and all you have to do is try just one keyword in an industry where you have many small businesses
take it right to where they hang out
say here it is
then you decide how little you want to sell it for
you want 100 you want 200 you want 500 you want a hundred bucks a month and you throw in hosting and design
you own something MANY people would pay you something for
anyway, I'm just telling what I know, small business owners love to see the key word for their industry with either hypens, or an i, e or 1 in it
now if you're only looking to invest 8 bucks in name you can sell for 20K one day good luck
you can reg names all day long in niche markets with i's e's 1's and hyphens
you can turn them over fast to end users for 100 bucks or you can hold them and try to do a package deal with services
this goes against what most so-called domain sellers think, but the reality is business owners love having a keyword with a minor blemish (i, e, 1, hyphen)
to a domain reseller they are garbage, but as the saying goes
ones garbage is anothers treasure
