Law firms
A law firm website you own — built to bring in cases.
I build custom websites for law firms, by hand, and your firm owns every piece of it — the code, the domain, the content. Built in Michigan, working with firms anywhere.
FindLaw rents you a template you'll never own. I build you one that's yours for good.
Two ways it usually goes wrong
Most firms get pitched the same two things.
A national company like FindLaw rents you a cookie-cutter template you'll never own, and fills it with filler that sounds like nobody. You pay every month, and the day you stop, the site is gone.
Or a local generalist who has never built for a law practice learns the specifics on your time and your budget.
I'm the third way. One person, building you a site that's yours for good, handing you the keys when it's done.
A blog that brings in cases
An old blog post got my business.
A while back I needed a lawyer. I found the one I hired through an old post on their blog — it answered the exact question I was up late googling, before I ever picked up the phone.
That's what a living blog does: it earns the call. Articles in your voice, under your byline, that answer what a client is actually worried about. It's the part most firms either skip, or rent from a content mill that makes every firm sound the same.
I'd rather write it to sound like you. That part — Living Content — is coming soon. Ask me where it stands when we talk.
- Built to be found. Legal-SEO done right: practice-area pages people actually search, clean structure, and the local signals that put you in front of the client down the street.
- Practice-area pages that convert. Each practice area its own page, in plain language, built to turn a worried search into a call.
- Attorney bios that build trust. The credentials, the bar admissions, the years in the room — shown up front, not buried three clicks deep.
- Intake that works. Contact and intake handled cleanly, so a prospect reaches you in a tap and your front desk fields fewer of the same calls.
- A living blog, in your voice. Point me at a topic, or hand it off completely and I'll bring the ideas too. Long-form, written in your voice, fact-checked, and human-edited, ready to post under your own name and yours to approve before a word goes live. The kind of writing that brings in cases. (Coming soon.)
You own all of it
When your site ships, you own every piece — the code, the domain, and every word of content, in the firm's name. While I host it, the site runs on my Cloudflare account, but that's never a lock-in: the code and domain are yours to take. The day you don't want me, I hand over everything and you walk.
No vendor holds your website hostage. If you ever fire me, you lose nothing but me.
The question every attorney asks
Can someone else write your firm's blog?
Here's the part attorneys ask about first: your name goes on the articles, so is that allowed? Yes — because you approve every piece before it publishes. The rules let the writing be done for you, as long as it's yours: you give the direction, you review it, you sign off, and it runs under your name as your own. Same idea as a partner signing off on an associate's draft. I write it to sound like you and get the facts straight; you confirm it's right and it's you. I build sites and write content — I don't practice law, so the legal substance and the final call stay with you.
Questions firms ask
- Your name goes on the articles. Is that allowed?
- Yes — because you approve every piece before it publishes. The rules let the writing be done for you, as long as it's yours: you give the direction, you review it, you sign off, and it runs under your name as your own. Same idea as a partner signing off on an associate's draft. I don't practice law, so the legal substance and the final call always stay with you.
- What does a law firm website cost?
- The build is $2,500, fixed in writing before I start, and you own it outright. A Managed Site (hosting, security, edits) is $350/mo. Living Content — the blog — is a coming-soon add-on to Managed Site; I tailor it to your firm and we'll set the price when it's ready.
- Is the blog available now?
- Not yet. The build and the Managed Site are available today; Living Content is coming soon. I'll tell you straight where it stands when we talk.
- Do I own the website?
- Completely. The code, the domain, and every word of content are yours, in the firm's name. I host the site on my own Cloudflare account while you're with me, but the code and domain are yours to take — fire me and you lose nothing but me.
- Do you only work with Michigan firms?
- No. I'm in Port Huron and I build for firms anywhere. The local ones get coffee; the rest get the same work over a screen share.
