This is not a forum for legal marketing.
Or marketing of any kind, for that matter. It is a place for the discussion of substantive issues in law and the legal profession. See above.
Posting links to your law firm website, or to almost any page the primary purpose of which is marketing, will almost certainly result in that post being removed and will more than likely result in you being banned. The moderators use their own judgment in determining what counts as spam. They know it when they see it, and they take action accordingly.
