The population of Spanish speakers in the U.S. continues to grow at a steady rate. The U.S. Hispanic population is now estimated at 47 million, and the number of Hispanic-owned businesses tripled between 1997 and 2002 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2009). To address this growing demographic, FindLaw.com (www.findlaw.com), the most-visited legal Web site for free legal information, has launched a new Spanish content center providing free legal information in Spanish.

The new "FindLaw en Espanol" (http://espanol.findlaw.com/) center will help the 35 million Spanish-speaking individuals in the U.S. (U.S. Census Bureau, 2009) learn about the law, get answers to common legal questions and find Spanish-speaking lawyers. The new center also provides helpful free legal information for the 1.6 million Hispanic-owned businesses. People looking for free legal information in Spanish will find trustworthy resources, including more than 100 informative articles across four of FindLaw.com's most popular legal topics:

* Family Law & Divorce (Ley de Familia y Divorcio)
* Employees' Rights (Derechos de los Empleados)
* Immigration & Citizenship (Inmigracion y Ciudadania)
* Civil Rights & Discrimination (Derechos Civiles y Discriminacion)

"We're excited to provide these valuable legal resources to our Spanish-speaking audience," said Karl Florida, vice president of Strategy & Business Development at FindLaw. "FindLaw's purpose is to help connect people with the law, and we're proud to help the legal system perform better by helping Spanish-speaking people gain fair access to legal content and representation."

The new "FindLaw en Espanol" center also features links to online Spanish-language legal resources from the federal government, and a lawyer directory that connects FindLaw.com visitors with experienced attorneys who are fluent in Spanish. The FindLaw Lawyer Directory has Spanish-speaking attorneys in every state.

The new "FindLaw en Espanol" center is available at http://espanol.findlaw.com/. For more information on the Spanish content on FindLaw.com, contact Michelle Croteau at michelle.croteau@thomsonreuters.com.

Among the features of the new site is information about Verizon's popular FiOS TV, FiOS Internet and High Speed Internet (DSL) services; DIRECTV service; bundles; and wireless phones and related offerings.

The site can be found at http://www.verizon.com/espanol or by clicking on "Espanol" located on the top right-hand side of Verizon's main Web site, http://www.verizon.com/. In addition, the six tabs on the top of the main site's home page -- "Internet," "TV," "Phone," "Bundles," "Support" and "My Verizon" -- all have "Espanol" links to the corresponding sections of the Spanish site.

"We've always had some content in Spanish because we know that some of our customers prefer to learn about our products and services in their native language," said Mark Studness director of e-commerce for Verizon. "Our newly launched Spanish Web site greatly expands our Spanish content and 7 x 24 self-service capabilities to meet the needs of our Spanish-speaking customers."

(Note: High-resolution screen shots of http://www.verizon.com/espanol are available at http://verizon.mediaseed.tv/)

Hispanics constitute the fastest-growing minority group in the U.S., according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and constitute an important market segment for Verizon.

For more than a decade, Verizon has provided in-language customer service support to customers in Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Korean and Vietnamese. Today, more than 1,000 employees staff 13 Verizon consumer multicultural sales and solution centers in various parts of the country, communicating with customers in their native languages. These employees help callers place orders for Verizon products and services, and assist with billing and answer questions.

For customer-service assistance in Spanish, customers can call 800-VERIZON (800-837-4966) and press "2."
