I'm trying to drum up business for a "paralegal" service I offer to lawyers.
On my website, in addition to the sales pitch, I plan to post a few case studies & an "About" page.
In the "About" info, I'm considering including my credit score -- not because I'm trying to borrow anything, but just to show that I'm trustworthy & keep my contracts. (It's 810.)
What do you think of that? Helpful? Tacky?
All other things being equal, would a good credit score be a plus if you were hiring a stranger for business services?

(I want to leverage every edge that I have...)
Thoughts?
Doing so would probably have the opposite effect by making you look amateurish. If I were looking for a paralegal, I'd be more interested in testimonials from clients. Absent those, I think I'd try to call as little attention to my inexperience as possible, and hopefully build some clientele. Don't "try too hard." It could backfire.
Your credit score only tells me one thing and is has zip to do with being a paralegal. You need to include professional references, not your credit score, if you want someone to take you seriously.
Most law firms, even small ones, have in house paralegals...WHY should they hire you, an outside service, when it's cheaper and easier to have one in house? That's the question you need to answer.

I would add that if you want to work as an free lance paralegal, you need to learn your trade by working for a law firm first,

"paralegal" ????
So you are not really a paralegal?
Parading your credit score is not only silly and unnecessary, but strange.
Plus, anyone can make up a number....
The quotation marks raised my eyebrows as well.
