About Traci Gentilozzi

Traci is an award-winning writer who specializes in content development and promotion for sole practitioners and small law firms. She has been a Michigan-licensed attorney for 30 years (JD, Western Michigan University Cooley Law School, 1992).

Traci established 360 Legal Solutions in 2015, primarily to provide busy attorneys with fresh content for their blogs, websites and newsletters. As a “ghostwriter,” she also drafts articles, prepares verdict and settlement reports, writes and distributes press releases, drafts case summaries, develops and executes social media/digital marketing strategies, secures media opportunities for attorneys, helps lawyers respond to media inquiries and proofreads/edits all types of documents.

In addition to serving her own clients, Traci is a legal marketing consultant with Rain BDM in Bloomfield Hills, where she writes content for some of Michigan’s largest law firms. She also served as the editor of BRIEFS, a digital magazine published by the Ingham County Bar Association, from February 2018 to November 2019.

Notably, Traci worked for 14 years at Lawyers Weekly publications, where she was the publisher, editor and news editor at Michigan Lawyers Weekly and an opinion editor at Ohio Lawyers Weekly. She was also communications counsel at the Sinas Dramis Law Firm for several years, managing the firm’s content development and marketing strategies (websites, blogs, social media campaigns, event promotion, press releases, media coverage, verdict and settlement reports, lawyer promotion, etc.). While at Sinas Dramis, she also summarized court opinions for the No-Fault Red Book Online (NFRBO), a joint project between the firm and the Michigan Association for Justice.

Traci’s background also includes working as an analyst at the Michigan Supreme Court State Court Administrative Office, maintaining her own private law practice and summarizing opinions for the State Bar of Michigan e-Journal.

As an attorney and a journalist (BS, Journalism, West Virginia University, 1989), Traci has the unique ability to write about the law in a clear, concise and understandable manner. She has an instinct for preparing and packaging legal news, so it gets noticed by the media outlets. Traci also understands how attorneys should respond to media inquiries — after all, when she was at Michigan Lawyers Weekly, she was the one asking questions of attorneys.

• 2013 — Society of Professional Journalists, Detroit Chapter, Excellence in Journalism Award (1st place).
• 2012 — Selected by the State Court Administrator to oversee the November 2012 “Court Administration” edition of the Michigan Bar Journal and recognized by the State Bar of Michigan as the issue’s contributing editor.
