A Smarter Marketing Strategy for Family Law Firms
By Jordan Ostroff
Most family law firms don’t have a marketing problem.
They have a follow up problem. And a systems problem. And a “we treat every matter like it ends when the decree is signed” problem.
After working with bankruptcy firm owners across different markets, I’ve noticed a consistent pattern.
Firms try a little bit of everything: Google Ads, SEO, social media, networking, referrals, maybe even a billboard or radio spot if someone convinced them to try it.
None of it feels coordinated. None of it feels predictable.
If you run a small family law firm and growth feels chaotic, you’re probably right.
You’re the bottleneck. You’re the rainmaker. You’re the closer. You’re also the person who looks up at 4:30 and realizes three consult requests never got a call back.
