Rising interest rates, inflation, job insecurity, and global instability have made a lot of consumers more cautious. People are holding off on big purchases, reevaluating priorities, and asking harder questions before spending money. If you’re still marketing your services the same way you did three years ago, it may not be landing.
But here’s the
There are a lot of attorneys online. Some run ads. Some post content. A few even have decent websites. But very few take the extra step of putting themselves out there with public speaking.
Public speaking doesn’t mean a TED Talk. It could be running your own lunch and learn series. A podcast guest spot.
In a lot of law firms, marketing is an afterthought. Maybe one person handles it, maybe nobody really owns it, or maybe everyone assumes the website will do the work. The problem? Marketing doesn’t stick when it’s siloed. If you want real growth, it needs to be part of your firm’s everyday mindset.

A lot of solo and small firm attorneys think they can’t compete with the big firms because they don’t have a huge marketing budget. But money isn’t always the deciding factor—strategy is. The truth is that some of the most effective marketing moves don’t cost much at all.

If you’re running ads, paying for SEO, or outsourcing social media—but not tracking what’s working—you’re flying blind. It doesn’t matter how good a marketing idea sounds if you don’t know whether it’s actually bringing in clients. Most small firms can’t afford to waste money on guesswork.
Tracking ROI (return on investment) isn’t complicated, but it
Most law firms don’t have a problem getting clients. They have a problem getting the kind of clients that make the work worth it. If your calendar is full but your bank account says otherwise, it might be time to rethink your approach.
Higher-paying clients look for different things than budget shoppers. They’re not just
You had a great consultation. The potential client seemed interested. Then you never hear from them again. What happened?
A lot of people assume silence means rejection. But in most cases, it just means the client got distracted. Life got in the way. And since you didn’t follow up, they moved on—or forgot. This is
Too many law firms say the same thing. “We provide excellent service.” “We care about our clients.” “We fight for justice.” These statements don’t mean much because every firm claims them. To stand out, you need a unique value proposition (UVP).
Your UVP is a simple, clear statement that tells potential clients why they should
