Hey there! Are you a family lawyer looking to grow your practice without wasting your valuable resources? I get it, and I'm here to help! In this video, I will share three tips for growing your family law practice efficiently and effectively.

But before we dive into those tips, let me share some of the ridiculous mistakes I made when I first opened my family law practice. First, I made the mistake of advertising that I did all kinds of law, making me look scattered and not an expert in any area. I also sponsored events where my potential clients were not hanging out and spent thousands of dollars on a buggy and slow website that nobody could find. And to top it off, my advertising looked exactly the same as everyone else's, which made me just another goldfish in a sea of goldfish.

But I've learned from my mistakes, and I'm here to share with you the three strategies that have worked wonders for me in growing my practice.

You need to stand out and be different. Think about what makes you unique and authentic to yourself, and use that to your advantage. Don't blend in with every other lawyer out there. Instead, focus on what sets you apart and makes you memorable to your potential clients.

Secondly, don't be afraid to ask for a review when you have a happy client. Those satisfied clients can be your biggest advocates and help bring in new business for you. So make sure you have a system in place to ask for reviews and make it easy for your clients to leave them.

Lastly, don't underestimate the power of Google My Business. It's free and can help you show up at the top of the search rankings when potential clients are looking for a family law practitioner in their area. So make sure you optimize your Google My Business page and ask for reviews there too.
