Because attracting family law clients is a different process from other legal niches. Family law issues are intensely personal and emotionally charged. Your prospects are likely experiencing a various feelings: 🔘 Stress 🔘 Anxiety 🔘 Uncertainty 🔘 Fear These emotions will impact their decision-making process. Unlike immediate-need services like injury and crime, family law clients clients often begin their search long before they're ready to contact an attorney. This phase can last months or even years where the concern search include: 🔘 Child custody laws 🔘 Asset protection strategies 🔘 Infidelity evidence gathering You have to understand the psychology of your prospect if you want to bring them in properly. Providing valuable information and resources during this time builds trust and positions you as an authority. Instead of focusing solely on "ready-to-hire" prospects, missing a vast pool of potential clients, nurture potential clients. Effective nurturing strategies include: 🔘 Educational content series. 🔘 Free consultations or workshops. By addressing their concerns over time, you remain top-of-mind when they're ready to proceed. Understanding the psychology behind family law client acquisition will help you create a marketing strategy that truly resonates with them. ============================ Need help figuring out how many leads your law firm's website can get?

Lets be honest, retaining a family lawyer is EXPENSIVE! In fact, for some people, engaging a lawyer is something that financially seems completely out of reach. Admittedly I am somewhat new to the concept of litigation funding but I cannot express how much of an absolute game changer it can be. To be able to offer a solution to clients who desperately require your help but lack the access to funds required to pay upfront is phenomenal. If you have never used litigation funding before or are uncertain as to what the whole process looks like, this blog post about JustFund is a must read! #justfund #familylaw #litigationfunding

How can things be easier in family law? Can't people just settle immediately and without rancor and without Court? I wish we could resolve all matters in this fashion, but unfortunately many cases involve either one or both parties feeling they have been wronged and that they need justice. I always explain that the most inexpensive case is where both parties just want fairness. The second cheapest is the client who is a doormat against the client that is out for vengeance. Sure it is cheaper, but then often one spouse and the children suffer because people did not stand up to the bully. The most expensive cases occur when it makes sense to fight for more because one spouse is lying about their income and their assets or where both clients are out to prove they are right. Unfortunately, often, people distrust their spouse, and suspect there must be more money out there than has been disclosed, but then when you do an analysis, you understand that most people spend more than they earn no matter how much they earn. Interestingly, the more the lawyer is known for going to court for huge wins, the greater, the chance of a settlement before court. Maclean Law gets involved when the income and asset stakes are at the "bet your bank" level, and there is a disconnect between what is truthful and what is being floated as the truth by one spouse

When I started Modern Family law in 2017, we had 4 associates and 2 paralegals.  It was one month after I bought out my former partner and the firm was struggling to keep its head above water.  My vision was to expand, grow and provide innovative, client-focused services for today’s families.  It was a tortious slog for many years. As we look to open our 10th office in Seattle, Washington, in August, Modern Family Law will have almost 50 lawyers and 110-120 employees, across four states by September.  Our gross revenues will exceed $25M next year, potentially by a lot.  We continue to drive down the cost of legal services while expanding the client base to over 900 open and active cases by year end.  Innovation is king in our firm. But I’ve learned growth without drama is impossible.  Many factors come into play as a team rapidly expands.  Ego, greed, and outside interference are constant foes to long term success.  While I wish there was more congeniality in the practice area, protectionism and an unhealthy monopoly still hold the power in our profession, particularly in family law.  It is a cutthroat field. For newer lawyers thinking of spinning off their own practice, or thinking of joining a “traditional” firm, I can only say, don’t.  I know this is contrary to the LinkedIn mantra of “dream big” but it’s the truth.  It’s a brutal, unforgiving world out there and you’ll find no quarter given for creativity and innovation.  It’s rare indeed to find true, honest collaboration. Our success is an outlier.  I could give you the secret recipe, but it will probably do you no good.  It’s the people.  Every day I’m thankful for the amazing team we have because I know, without them, I’d be slugging away in a windowless office in traditional firm, hoping one day to sit first chair.  I’m a lucky guy.

Navigating the world of family law can be complex, especially when the sale of a business is involved. As a business owner, understanding the implications of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) on your business sale is crucial. In this blog post, we will outline the key considerations you need to keep in mind when facing the intersection of family law and business ownership. So, let's dive in! https://lnkd.in/efUT9J7h

I always thought that I wanted to practice family law. I did the family law clinic at law school, did a year long family law externship. I was ready to go. However, upon graduation from law school, I stumbled into insurance. I never thought I would love reading insurance policies as much as I do (yes, I'm a nerd). After 8 years of handling claims, we moved back to PA and I decided it was time to try family law. Am I glad I tried it? Yes. Will I ever do it again? Absolutely not. Family law is not for the faint of heart. However, it taught me many skills that have made me a better attorney: -I was in court weekly, if not daily, and got very comfortable advocating in front of a judge -I worked with clients in a very stressful time of their life, and I had to bring empathy and understanding to each and every interaction -I learned how to be straight with my clients while delivering information they didn't want to hear -I realized that you never promise my clients something that wasn't possible--you don't give false hope when it comes to someone's children. -I honed my writing skills and realized that complaints and briefs are really just telling a story Ultimately, what I thought I wanted was not the right fit. However, the skills I gained have been invaluable to the lawyer I have become. It might not be the route I envisioned, but it got me right where I am supposed to be. #WomenInLaw #WomenInInsurance #Detours
