As a modern attorney, you need a solution that will help you grow your online presence and become more searchable for clients in need. Unlike other online directories, the Modern Attorney Directory gives your prospective clients an inside look into your practice. Showcase your flexibility, your modern workflows, and how you can accommodate your clients with benefits like video meetings. Here are tips for creating the best profile to advertise your law firm.

How to Get More Law Firm Clients

Set up your Modern Attorney profile so you stand out from the competition and get more leads!

Profile Details

This is all of your essential information: email, phone, and name. While these are the basics, make yourself stand out with the following:

• Profile image: Keep it professional, but not too stuffy. We recommend a headshot. Don't forget to smile!
• About description: This is your place to shine and the first thing prospective clients will see. Think of the about description as your elevator pitch. Make it personal and descriptive of what your law firm does.

Law Firm Details

Give clients more information about your practice: the name of your law firm and locations, website link, years of practice, and states you're licensed in.

• Images: The more images, the better. In this section, you can upload your law firm's photo and cover photo. Many attorneys will upload a picture of their office for the law firm photo, and a picture of their staff for the cover photo.
• Locations: Make sure to enter all of your locations. Prospects search for lawyers based on practice area and region. Increase your chances of being found.

Credentials

Clients want to know your experience. While this isn't always the largest factor in a prospect's decision, it's important to include your education, bar admissions, and associations that you are a part of to establish credibility.

Fun Facts

Let's get personal! Show clients WHO you are. This will likely increase familiarity and potential clients will be able to connect with you.

• What's something unique and interesting about you? Do you have any fun hobbies or interesting facts about yourself? Examples include: "I lived in Spain for 3 years" or "I published a true-crime fiction book."
• Pick your preferences. Cats vs. Dogs - Mountains vs. The City - Books vs. Sports. The best part? These are sliders so you don't have to pick one or the other!
• Clients want to see your online presence. Connect your law firm's social media pages so people can get an inside look into your firm. And if you don't already have social media accounts, create them! People are online and want to see that their law firm is too.
• Bio: Another bio that's all about you, no work involved. Share what you're passionate about, what you like to do in your free time and some hobbies that you have. Take it from us, people love knowing more about the person they'll be hiring.

Service Details

Get down to business and advertise your legal services. Tell clients what you do, and how you'll do it. How you work (communication methods, hours & days available, etc.) is important to clients. Show them what makes you stand out from attorneys in your area like remote meetings, accepting online payments, and using advanced technology.

• Communication methods: Show clients how you communicate. While phone and email are the more traditional methods, more modern mediums exist like texting. If you offer client texting or send automated text reminders to clients, let prospects know!
• Payments & fees: Be transparent about pricing by listing your average per-case and hourly rates. You'll also want to show how you accept payments. Clients want flexible payment options, and most people don't even order checks anymore. Do you accept Apple Pay? Venmo? Credit cards?
• Consultations: Clients want an attorney that accommodates their busy schedule and unique situation. Are you willing to travel to the client or meet at a coffee shop? Or even take video conference meetings? Show clients that you're willing to work for them and meet their needs!
• Practice areas: What areas of law do you specialize in? Make sure to include all of them, since clients will search for an attorney based on their legal need. You can also enter how much of your practice is focused in a particular area.
