Law Firm Practice Areas We Serve

Legal marketing isn’t one size fits all. What works for a personal injury firm bombs for an estate planning practice. A criminal defense attorney needs completely different messaging than a business lawyer.

We figured this out after years of working with attorneys across every practice area. The firms that grow are the ones with marketing built specifically for their type of law and the clients they serve.

• Marketing strategies built for your specific practice area
• Content that speaks to how your potential clients actually think
• Campaigns that follow bar advertising rules in your jurisdiction
• Real metrics showing cases coming through the door

Why Generic Legal Marketing Fails

Most marketing agencies use the same playbook for every law firm. Doesn’t matter if you handle divorces or defend corporations. They slap together a template website, run some generic ads, and wonder why results are mediocre.

Legal marketing operates under strict ethical rules that vary by state. And people searching for lawyers have completely different motivations depending on what kind of help they need. Someone facing criminal charges is in crisis mode. Someone planning their estate is thinking long-term. Same industry, totally different marketing approach.

• Strategies that match how people actually search for your type of law
• Compliance with bar advertising rules that change state to state
• Targeting that reaches people who need exactly what you do
• Tracking that shows real case leads, not just website traffic

Personal Injury and Criminal Defense

High-stakes practice areas where potential clients need help immediately.

Personal injury lawyers deal with accident victims who are stressed about medical bills and insurance companies. These folks need to know you’ll actually fight for fair compensation. Marketing has to reach them right after accidents happen.

Criminal defense lawyers represent people who are scared out of their minds about criminal charges. Privacy matters huge here. Your marketing needs to be there when someone gets arrested at 2 AM and starts searching for help.

DUI lawyers connect with people who made a mistake and now face losing their license or worse. Time-sensitive marketing captures cases during that narrow window between arrest and hiring an attorney.

Family Law and Immigration

Practice areas requiring sensitivity and cultural competence.

Family law attorneys help people going through divorce, custody battles, and other family situations. These clients are usually emotional and need someone who actually cares about what they’re going through while still fighting hard.

Immigration lawyers serve people trying to navigate government bureaucracy that confuses everyone. Language barriers and cultural differences make marketing more complicated but also more important.

Business and Financial Legal Services

Practice areas serving businesses and individuals facing financial decisions.

Business lawyers target entrepreneurs and business owners who want to avoid expensive legal mistakes. These clients are sophisticated and research thoroughly before hiring.

Bankruptcy attorneys reach people whose finances went sideways and need a fresh start. Most feel embarrassed about filing bankruptcy. Marketing needs to reduce shame and encourage action.

Real estate attorneys help buyers, sellers, and investors with property transactions. Many clients come through realtor and lender referrals, so marketing supports those relationships too.

Tax attorneys connect with people who have IRS problems keeping them up at night. Content emphasizes fixing tax issues before they get worse.

Contract lawyers help businesses and individuals with agreements that actually protect them. Marketing demonstrates both legal expertise and business understanding.

Estate Planning and Probate

Practice areas dealing with life transitions and end-of-life planning.

Estate planning lawyers motivate people to finally create wills and trusts. Everyone knows they should plan. Most avoid it. Marketing needs to push people toward action.

Probate attorneys help grieving families navigate legal requirements after death. These clients are overwhelmed and need compassionate guidance through unfamiliar processes.

Employment and Labor Law

Practice areas protecting workers and handling workplace issues.

Employment lawyers represent employees facing discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination. These clients are dealing with situations that affect their livelihoods and dignity.

Labor lawyers handle union matters and collective bargaining. Marketing reaches organizational decision-makers rather than individual workers.

Workers compensation lawyers fight for injured workers who aren’t getting benefits they deserve. Insurance companies fight claims. Your marketing offers a path to fair treatment.

Intellectual Property and Medical Malpractice

Specialized practice areas requiring deep technical expertise.

Intellectual property lawyers protect inventions, brands, and creative works. Clients want attorneys who understand both law and innovation.

Patent attorneys work with inventors who need to secure rights before competitors do. Marketing demonstrates technical understanding alongside legal expertise.

Medical malpractice lawyers represent people harmed by medical providers they trusted. Complex cases requiring significant resources and expertise.

Civil Rights and Disability Law

Practice areas fighting for justice and benefits.

Civil rights lawyers take on discrimination, police misconduct, and constitutional violations. Clients need attorneys with courage to fight powerful institutions.

Social security disability lawyers help disabled individuals get benefits after government denials. Claims get rejected constantly. Marketing offers hope and expert representation.

Consumer rights lawyers protect people from corporate abuses. Debt collector harassment. Lemon cars. Deceptive practices. Marketing empowers consumers to fight back.

Specialized Legal Practice Areas

Niche practice areas serving specific communities and industries.

Foreclosure defense attorneys fight to save homes from banks and mortgage companies. Clients are desperate and need help fast.

Military lawyers understand court martial defense, administrative separations, and VA benefits. Marketing respects military service while demonstrating expertise in military justice.

Education lawyers handle special education rights, student discipline, and teacher employment. Parents and educators navigating complex school systems.

Construction lawyers resolve disputes involving contractors, developers, and subcontractors. Industry professionals want attorneys who understand construction business.
