“My FindLaw experience has been completely shocking to me, in a very good way. I had never been one to advertise and possessed little expertise in the area of online legal marketing. Before I became a FindLaw customer, I had a Web site that was totally ineffective. I never received a single inquiry and I didn’t understand why. Thankfully, I met a FindLaw consultant at an event hosted by the South Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers Association that did. He drove to my home in Charlotte the very next week for a consultation and showed me firsthand why my Web site was not being found in search engines like Google. As a result, we entered into a contract and began building my first FindLaw Web site, which has been incredibly successful!
My FindLaw Web site has enabled both individuals and other lawyers to find me online from all across the country. I’ve received inquiries from Tyler, Texas, to St. Louis, Missouri, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The number of leads I receive per day has increased significantly. Before launching my FindLaw site, there would be days when I wouldn’t get any, but now I tend to see about five leads per day. This increase has enabled me to limit my cases and only take the ones that I am really interested in, and I thank FindLaw for that.
Not only has the quantity of leads improved, the quality of those leads has been very good. I only handle serious cases that involve serious injuries and those are exactly the cases I’ve been getting. In January of 2008, I settled two malpractice cases for $1.2 million and a wrongful death case for $175,000, both of which I can link directly back to my Web site.
My FindLaw consultant, Vaidas Cikotas, has been excellent and has done a wonderful job! I am in the process of creating a second Web site that is solely for motorcycle accidents and he has been instrumental in doing that. Furthermore, every person I’ve worked with from the FindLaw team has been very cooperative and responsive and I am very satisfied.”

“Working with FindLaw to market our firm online has been a wonderful experience. We’ve noticed a significant increase in the quantity of leads we receive thanks to our FindLaw Web site, especially in the criminal, domestic, and corporate realms. We’ve also received several strong referrals through our site, which have developed into great clients and long-lasting relationships.
One thing I really like about FindLaw is that the process is on-going and I never feel locked-in when I want to make changes to the site. My dedicated FindLaw consultant, Vaidas Cikotas, has been great for this purpose and is always accessible and willing to come in and meet when I want to make adjustments. I’m currently upgrading my site to make it more refreshed and user-friendly.
Due to the success of our FindLaw site, we’ve cut back on print advertising to focus more on the internet and we’ve been getting a very positive response from our clients. Many of them read the articles posted on the site and some even print them off and bring them into the firm when they visit.”

“My firm has seen excellent results because of our FindLaw Web site! We’ve noticed an increase in initial contacts from clients that find us online. The quality leads generated from our site is much higher than those from the print advertising. My clients love that they can get a good amount of information from the Web site before they contact me.
My relationship with my FindLaw consultant, Vaidas Cikotas, has been great! He is always available, responds quickly, and keeps me up-to-date on new happenings in the online legal marketing realm. At least once a year, Vaidas and I review the traffic of my Web site and determine if any tweaks need to be made. My consultant has the ability to track which parts of the Web site are being visited and the frequency. The traffic reports also show where the traffic is coming from, which has been eye-opening. For example, my Spanish page used to be a small portion of my Web site until the traffic reports showed that it was the third most-viewed page!”
