People find lawyers through referrals and online research. Recent hires most often reported referrals, while people asked how they would find their next lawyer also frequently named internet search, law firm websites, and online reviews.
For independent firms, local discovery involves accurate business information, a useful website, credible reviews, and a clear path for prospective clients to contact the practice. Paid search and Local Services Ads can also bring inquiries, but ad benchmarks measure leads or conversions, not signed matters.
