The key to acquiring clients is building trust, and in the digital world, that’s done via reviews.

The Importance of Online Reviews for Lawyers & Law Firms
When hiring a lawyer, people are looking for someone they can depend on. No matter how big or small the legal issue they’re trying to resolve may be, they need someone who is experienced enough to help them get their desired legal outcome.
In many cases, people still depend on word-of-mouth to find a good lawyer. But even if someone gets a personal recommendation for your law firm from a close friend or family member, they will likely still look up your firm online. And if you don’t show up, they might go straight to your competitors.
