Also, try to infuse a little humor into your writing by talking about any funny experiences with clients or during trials in the court. Apart from this, voice out your opinions about legal system, the changes which it has undergone, etc. Make sure the language used is light and reader-friendly. If you do not have a flair for writing, do not lose heart. You can hire a professional blogger to do that for you.
Your Presence on Social Media
Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are three social media pillars. Today it is mandatory that every business which is expanding or wishes to expand is very active on these social networking websites. It is recommended that a lawyer must have a Twitter profile, a Facebook profile/a fan page and a LinkedIn profile. Please be alert on the latest developments and features which keep occurring on these sites and match your own pace with the same accordingly. Make sure you post every trivial or major update about your professional developments.
Website With FAQ Section
When people visit your website, the FAQ section is the one which is usually the most visited. Always maintain a page in your website that discusses the questions which are frequently asked. This would not only showcase your knowledge, experience and expertise, but would also convince people that they have come to the right place.
Clear Contact Information
Nothing could be more annoying than a website with lousy, incomplete or even worse, outdated contact information. Put very clear and true information about your office location, your telephone/mobile numbers, email id and links to all your social media profiles and pages. Keep updating that information as when required.
Testimonials Can Do Wonders
All said and done, nothing beats a happy and positive verdict from the client. Client testimonials are one definite way to prove and showcase your credibility to your potential clients, which in turn could result in their association with you. Keep a harmonious and professional relationship with your clients and request them to endorse your services by writing a small note, or even better if they could help you with a video testimonial.
