LAWYER WEBSITE CONSULTING

Why Lawyers Need Professional Websites

Professional lawyer websites should reflect your practice, provide you with high visibility on the search engines, and lead to new case generation and conversion. With the continued growth of the internet search and the decline of traditional marketing mediums like phone books, lawyers must find ways to keep up with the growing number of customer searches and competition for those new potential clients online. So just how much opportunity can the web provide? Here are a few facts to keep in mind:

• 65% of people begin their search for a lawyer on the internet (NYSBA Journal '09)
• 89% of people who use the internet go online to find a lawyer (Trial Magazine '07)
• 76% of American adults use the internet
• 54% of Americans have substituted the Internet and local search for phone books.
• Three-times as many US adults today turn to the Internet to get advice and information about legal matters that they did six years ago.
• The Internet is now the single biggest source of legal information.
• The percentage of consumers who rely on the internet for legal counsel has nearly tripled over the past 6 years while the percentage that rely on friends and family has declined about a third over the same period of time.
