Now I can get down off my soap-box.
I spent several years in the late 1990′s as a Practice Management Advisor with The Florida Bar’s Law Office Management Assistance Service. In that capacity I helped literally thousands of lawyers with the management & marketing of their (mostly small) law firms. Those were the years when the Internet was really starting to take hold in the legal industry & I cannot tell you how many times I have told lawyers who were reluctant to use the internet for “client security” reasons:
JAMES BOND DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR CLIENTS’ CASES
If anyone wanted to get at (most lawyers’) confidential information, all that person would have to do is pick-up the law firm’s un-shredded trash bags left un-guarded in the dumpster, or for probably around $50 to the cleaning crew, they could have free run of the place…including the unlocked filing cabinets, non-password-protected computers, etc. all night long.
Thanks for carrying the torch on this one for awhile…my arms were getting tired!

Not a small issue.
