Early Findings
According to Law Technology Today, during high-stress situations such as divorce, the death of a spouse, marital separation, clients prefer "
a legal team that takes
clients seriously, emphasizes customer service, and doesn’t wreck their budget while working the case."
A study found that "
67% of surveyed
customers said they choose a law firm if they promptly answer the first call or email."
The study also found that clients generally love free first time consults. About
64% of law firm
customers surveyed stated that they choose a law firm that offers free first-time consults, the second-highest response in the study.
About 49% of customers surveyed said that "
having a set cost
would help make a law firm their first choice."
The other factors surveyed clients say they consider include "
28% of clients
choose a firm if they accept credit card, 27% if they have positive text message exchanges, and 19% if they have a great looking website."
When looking for a lawyer, most people noted in a study that a recommendation/referral from a
friend (62%)
and other
lawyers (31%
) are the most common ways they chose a lawyer. The study also found that "
online search (37%)
and directory listings
(28%
) trailed. TV ads
(13%)
, online ads (
13%)
, radio ads (
7%)
, and billboard ads (
6%)
had a much lower influence among respondents."
