Why Criminal Defense Lawyers Need SEO

Did you know?

  • 78% of people in legal trouble search Google before calling a lawyer.
  • 73% of those clicks go to the top 5 results.
  • 60% call within 30 minutes of searching.

You don’t get hired because you’re the cheapest.
You get hired because you’re trusted.
But no one will trust you if they never find you.
In criminal defense, the search starts online. That’s where fear turns into action.


If your name doesn’t pop up in local search when your potential client is panicking, you’re out of the game.

Let’s make you their first and only call.
