I like the compass points coming off the LG; try adding a scale or set of scales inside or out of the compass, or something to denote that this is law related if they were to only look at the emblem (logo)
SHIFT IN FOCUS WE ARE MOVING AWAY FROM TRYING TO REINVENT/REFRESHING THE CURRENT LOGO, INSTEAD WE ARE LOOKING FOR WORDMARK OR WEB 2.0 TO EMPHASIZE AND ENHANCE OUR NAME
"Lawyers Guide" or "LawyersGuide.com"
explore either option, but what we want to achieve is a logo that we can put on our site, and the name can stand alone by itself.
