Any lawyer who’s had at least one high-stakes case that makes the news will tell you that dealing with the press is often harder than it looks. When talking to the press, every single word you say and phrasing style you use can have a significant impact—and not always the impact you’d like. Thankfully, for attorneys who have to deal with the press on a regular basis, there are communications firms out there like RebuttalPR that can help with media relations.
