Legal Website Reviews
- Built for Law Firms & Legal Practices
27% of law firms never respond to online leads — and 91% cannot calculate a return on their advertising spend. If your website is not converting visitors into consultations, the problem is almost certainly the site. The review focuses on intake friction, trust gaps, and the implementation priorities that improve practice-area visibility.

Industry intelligence
What we see in legal websites
These are the patterns our Diagnostic Framework consistently surfaces in legal sites — and the signals your visitors and regulators expect.
Common gaps for Legal
- Bar advertising rule violations — using 'expert' or 'specialist' language without board certification in states that prohibit it
- Testimonial and endorsement content that violates jurisdiction-specific rules on client reviews and case outcome claims
- ADA Title III lawsuit exposure from inaccessible navigation, missing alt text, and keyboard-inaccessible menus
- Non-WCAG-compliant navigation that fails screen readers and creates liability under DOJ web accessibility guidance
- Missing required disclaimer language on practice area pages and attorney biography content
What good looks like
A strong law firm website presents each practice area as a standalone landing page with jurisdiction-appropriate disclaimers, avoids superlative claims without board certification backup, and makes the consultation CTA reachable within one scroll. Attorney profiles include bar admissions and verifiable credentials rather than stock authority language.
