Building a Strong Online Internet Presence for Family Law Attorneys

All areas of Family Law (Divorce, Child Custody, Child Support, Adoption, child in need of care) is a major category where your potential clients will go on the internet to search for an attorney. Some of your potential new clients sit in front of a computer all day long. Many of these potential clients do just about everything on the internet. Searching on google is a very natural thing for them to do. The internet is the best possible solution for them to find a lawyer and statistics show that generally they:

  • have no criminal record
  • the ability top pay a high retainer
  • middle to upper class
  • every thing to lose
  • highly motivated
  • less price shopping
  • more realistic
  • in short the perfect client!

The competition among family law and divorce law firms in the Kansas and Missouri is intense-but the need for good family law and divorce lawyers is tremendous, and many of your prospective clients are looking for you on the Web. We know this because divorce lawyer is one of the most searched terms on the Internet.

Your prospective clients don't want to talk to friends or extended family too soon. They want to think about it, to get information, and to research their options discretely, often by visiting family law Web sites online when they're at work during the day. It's vitally important that they find the kind of information they're looking for on your Web site-but first they have to find your Web site.

As your FindLaw Client Development Consultant, I'll work with you to:

  • Ensure your divorce and family law Web site is extremely visible for the search engines in order to show up on the first page of organic search engine results.
  • Achieve a design that has just the right look and feel to give confidence to your stressed and fearful clients.
  • Focused Content Attracts the Clients You Want

    Before you start developing a Web site for your divorce or family law practice, spend some time asking yourself about your goals in developing a dominate online presence.

  • Law firm marketing on the Web can be tremendously successful (that's our goal, after all), but what will happen if you suddenly get many more cases?
  • Do you want to handle primarily divorce or do you need more balance in your life between stressful divorce cases and less stressful adoption or prenuptial agreement cases?
  • Do you feel strongly about men's rights in divorce?
  • How about grandparents' rights to visitation? That's a burgeoning area in Kansas and Missouri and many grandparents are looking for help.
  • What are your strengths? Are you caring and compassionate or do you have a head for facts and figures to help your clients get the money and property they deserve when their former partner is being dishonest?
  • What types of cases do you really enjoy? Are you always ready for a fight or do you excel at helping people negotiate their way to agreement?

  • Finally, think about the type of results you need to see:

  • How many cases do you need in order for your investment in a Web site to be a success?
  • What kind of value do those cases need to have?

  • It's not about working hard; it's about working smart. Spend your time doing what you do best-helping people through the best and worst of life. Internet marketing can bring the right clients to your door with minimal effort.
