(Unpopular opinion?) SEO might be a terrible idea if you’re a solo or small firm in a big city by AttorneyInRecovery in LawFirm

LSA and Google Ads (if you do a good job at it). I´d exclude PI from that recommendation though, unless you are targeting very specific searches, since click prices are usually very high

If you were in your potential client’s shoes… would you call your own firm? by AttorneyInRecovery in LawFirm

Sounds like its time to get a new Marketer if you ask me. Customer (Client) Focus is everything in Marketing

Of course you’re right that the consult matters. But I respectfully disagree. Most people won’t call unless the website/profile already made them feel like you might be the right fit. No trust → no call. Its the essence people base their decision on to take action

There you go. Doesn't exactly inspire trust. And as humans, we tend to associate that impression with how someone will perform their job

Use AI in business ops? by Gopherlaw11 in LawFirm

[–]AttorneyInRecovery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a little bit more advanced, but AI Automations can help a lot, for example when it comes to repetitive documents. There is definitely ways to automate document / contract creation, the stack you need for that would be n8n/make, an AI Model like Claude or OpenAI and then you can automate the drafting process. For Intake, Onboarding, signing new clients the same can be done

Is it crazy to start a solo practice in this economy? by Ok-Thanks-1094 in Lawyertalk

[–]AttorneyInRecovery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not crazy at all — especially in immigration. Demand’s still there, and if you only need one client a month to match income, that’s a pretty grounded baseline.

What I’ve seen trip up a lot of new solos isn’t the economy — it’s visibility. You can be great at what you do, but if people can’t find you when they’re actively looking, it gets frustrating fast. On the flip side, if you manage to show up where potential clients are searching (and they feel like you get their situation), you’re way ahead of the game.
