Information and discussion regarding marketing for law firms and attorneys.
/r/legalmarketing is the source for useful, relevant, non-spammed information about marketing for law firms and attorneys.
It occurred to me that there really isn't a place on Reddit that nicely bundles all of the information that is useful in the day-to-day business development practices of legal marketers and attorneys looking to market.
Our goal is to pool all of the information that's useful in legal marketing into a single resource to our fellow legal marketers and attorneys alike can use.
Keep posts to relevant and useful topics. You can post content that is hosted on your site, but it should be of use to other marketers, i.e. successful strategies, questions, and articles. Blatant spam and posts with the sole intention to drive to traffic to another site will be removed.

If you want to dominate in legal marketing, focus on telling stories, not just selling services—clients want someone who understands their situation. Use video content to connect on a human level, showcasing testimonials and success stories. Be everywhere—social media, blogs, video platforms—and be relentless in delivering value. Target your ads ruthlessly to speak directly to your client’s needs, whether it’s personal injury or workers’ comp. Finally, position yourself as the expert by providing educational content that builds trust and authority. Play big, act strategically, and create a brand that clients know will fight for them.
I am beginning to advertise on broadcast television, looking for personal injury cases such as automobile accidents and workers' compensation. I am looking for a company to help me produce the spots. Any recommendations?

Hello! I have a family law attorney who offers neutral party QDRO drafting services and he wants to expand his network to more family law attorneys that he can help. The partners here have shut down my idea to give him a featured profile on best lawyers or find law. He claims the other attorneys don’t use those so it leads me to think that I need to make some kind of magic happen that doesn’t involve spending money. This firm is in Minnesota.
Hi,
Having been bombarded with Well Rush ads on my FB feed, I took a call and now have questions. I can't discover much info about this outfit - does anyone have any feedback about them?
Thanks -
I’ve been running Google ads (both PPC and LSAs) for several law firms and I’m constantly told I’m charging too little even once by my own client. I’m curious to know what you’re paying an agency to manage the Google ads. I don’t want to price myself too high but I’m also not trying to run a charity here.
Has anyone transitioned (or know someone who has) from a mid-level (senior manager/AD) role at an AmLaw100 firm to another company that pays more? I live in the Bay Area and have entertained doing BD for a tech company or another company out here (Chevron, Netflix, Pinterest, or even a life sciences company). I’m a career legal marketer (going on 15 years) and am feeling a bit trapped.
I go back and forth between thinking it’s fine, I don’t hate it and am good at it, so maybe I’ll just be a career legal marketer, to thinking I could earn a lot more and be less stressed at another kind of company.
I’ve considered making this move several times in my career but never ended up doing it, mostly because I don’t even know where to start! Our jobs and methods of doing BD seem so niche.
Any tips? Advice? Thoughts on what would be a possible transition out of legal marketing (earning minimum $275k)?
Would appreciate pointers given this is a group of legal marketing experts. Thank you!
Not a spam use my product post, but I'm genuinely curious. I'm part of a company where we've developed an AI chatbot (not using GPT) that has done great in lead generation and qualification in other professional service fields. We've identified a significant need for chat and qualification tools on law firm websites and have also developed some innovative dynamic video chatbots.
How can I break into the field of legal marketing to encourage firms to use our chatbots? I've noticed that many firms invest heavily in lead acquisition and pay-per-click advertising, but we want to help them filter and qualify better leads. What tips would you suggest to help me arrange meetings to better showcase our product to these firms? Thanks in advance for your advice!

There are several ways AI can enhance law firm marketing and business development strategies:
Hey everyone,
I'm currently studying law in Australia and working at a Personal Injury Law firm. Lately, I've realized the importance of stepping up my marketing game to excel in this industry so I'm exploring the possibility of attracting more claims. Can anyone recommend resources to help me enhance and refine the ads I'm currently running? Stuff like monthly budget is something I have no idea how to calculate or where to start. Really new to this, but would really appreicate any sort of help.
I'm willing to invest in reputable training if necessary, understanding that valuable knowledge often comes with a price tag. Since my firm operates across multiple states, I'm particularly interested in leads from NSW, VIC, and QLD. Thank you for reading guys
Hello! I am working on hosting some free continued education classes at our law firm. We do this to help expand our network here in Minnesota. This is my first time ever helping with this, and wanted to reach out to this community to ask if anyone else has hosted similar events, and where they have found successes in advertising to be able to have strong attendance. ?
Help needed
I am building an AI co-pilot for business development for Big Law.
Would love to get your feedback and an honest review.
#thanks
I'm wondering if my conversion rate is high or low. i guess it depends on many factors. I have a small, niche firm in a competitive major city.
Hey fam, I just started a new job in marketing for a firm in Minneapolis. I fear the partners value quantity over quality. We practice pi/family/ employment, 15+ attorneys and growing. What is an acceptable amount of leads each day and how many convert to new hires each day?
Would any attorneys be interested in white label marketing content? I'm thinking blog posts, client alerts, bulletins about important developments, etc. I used to work in a law firm where I got to write those things often and really enjoyed it. I now work in-house, but I still stay up to date with various developments nationally and locally in the jurisdictions we operate in (almost all 50 states). I would identify topics, draft content, and sell it for you to tweak/customize and put your name on it.
We're a group of researchers who thought about starting a search engine solution that is focused on providing truthful and indexed results. This is to overcome unverifiable results and hallucinations which are common in language models such as ChatGPT.
We're interested in building a solution that addresses an actual problem for knowledge intensive industries, including law. As researchers, we spend a good chunk of our day actively researching, drafting, verifying information, and referencing materials. We understand the general pain about this, and we'd like to understand the problem further from a lawyer preceptive before we build a solution.
A few weeks ago, we participated in the Stanford Law LLM hackthon, and based on feedback from participating lawyers, we built a due diligence tool for M&A lawyers, based on the truthful and indexed approach. We were finalists in the competition, and we received some positive feedback from judges and mentors.
If your firm does M&A, would you be interested in having a chat with us to discuss the current challenges in due diligence processes related to M&A? We're also wondering if lawyers and law firms have been using ChatGPT/language models for anything beyond drafting templates, quick composition checks, etc.? i.e. how do you currently deal with unverifiable information?
I am hearing from a lot of attorneys who are having trouble with their FindLaw presence.
I work with lawyers on websites so I ask for their reports and review them. In some cases I am on the calls they with Findlaw as well It's amazing what they present vs. what the actual stats say.
I do not know this for sure but it seems like they are all still working remotely and nothing is getting done. I'd be curious to hear your stories if you're having similar issues.
Specifically, ZERO accountability on the SEO stuff, extremely high PPC rates on both their Google Paid ads (which seems to be on auto-bid) as well as their directory (meaning, I'm seeing clients getting RENEWED in directories with barely any traffic).
If there's any solo-practising lawyer or law firm in general that's looking to apply up to date marketing strategies to increase revenue and scale their firm shoot me a message, we've got a range of services and methods for different stages of your business. We primarily focus on reducing the extra hours and stress you usually face in client acquisition and how you go about life as a lawyer. That being said, i hope we can connect and discuss ideas. Im here to help!
I'm the founder of 4LegalLeads.com but this doesn't have to be about our company. I've been doing digital marketing in the legal space for 25 years before Google Ads existed.
If you have ANY questions related to marketing as a law firm, attribution, ping/post technology, google ads, intake, integrating crm's, or anything else, feel free to reach out and I'll do my best to answer.
Digital advertising is my passion (sort of geek out about it) as well as call technology and having seen what works and doesn't work for thousands of law firm clients across the U.S., I'm always willing to share information to help others avoid pitfalls.
We will also be at FileVine's Lex Summit, ABA's Techshow, and CLIO Con, since we are sponsors of all these partners.
Looking for some feedback from personal injury lawyers re how much to spend on a website. I am currently looking at a redesign and what I’m gathering is that there are 2 schools of thought re websites: 1.) spend a lot on website ($50k+) to design and put another $25k-$50k into SEO per year and 11-15 months u “might” start seeing more leads after a year; 2.) don’t spend more than about $5k on the website and use all of that money on other things because competing on the internet for injury cases is virtually impossible for anyone that’s not spending $1 million plus per year (so that option 1 is basically just throwing money away; you have to go all in or don’t go in at all)
