Lodestar Meridian
Marketing for law firms

Everyone checks the firm online before the work arrives.

Prospective clients, referring lawyers, panel coordinators — and now the assistant they asked first. Most law firm websites were built to satisfy a vendor contract, not that moment. We rebuild them, on infrastructure the firm actually owns.

01 The argument

Why the check matters more than the pitch

  1. The work arrives after somebody looks.

    Almost no engagement starts cold. A client is referred, a lawyer passes a matter along, a claims manager picks from a panel — and every one of them looks the firm up before they act. Slow site, broken forms, dated bios, thin practice-area pages: that is the impression, and it is formed before anyone calls.

  2. Now something else looks first.

    A growing share of that check never reaches a results page. Someone asks an assistant who handles this kind of matter, and the answer is assembled from what the assistant can read — the firm’s own pages, its profiles, what other sites say about it. A site that is slow, thin, or locked inside a vendor’s template reads poorly to a machine for the same reasons it reads poorly to a person.

  3. The website is usually leased, not owned.

    Most firms are on a platform they can’t export from, paying monthly for a site that was templated in 2019 and hasn’t been touched since. Fixing any of the above starts with owning the thing you are fixing.

03 What we do

Two ways to work together

Marketing team support

A marketing team the firm doesn’t have to hire: search, paid, social, reputation, outreach, the website, and the email infrastructure underneath all of it. The firm turns on the disciplines it needs, one lead owns the account, and specialists sit behind them. A monthly engagement, not a project.

Dependent on services

Website Rescue

A fixed-fee migration off a vendor-locked platform onto infrastructure the firm owns outright — every page, every redirect, every form, faster and cleaner than what it replaces. One engagement, one number, no contract renewal.

04 Compliance

Built to the rules, with counsel in the room.

Bar advertising rules apply to everything a firm publishes, and they differ by state. On our last engagement, every template went through Florida Rules 4-7.21 and 4-7.18 with the firm’s compliance attorney before launch. We execute; your counsel opines. That division is the point — it’s how the work gets done without anyone guessing.
