Law Firm Website Writing Services

Blue Writing Icon: Attorney Website Writing Services The Modern Firm’s attorney writing services are of the highest caliber in the business — including work that has been cited by Feedspot.com among the top blogs in the work's practice area. We’re quite different from “content farms” driven purely by marketing goals, which often re-use junky content that doesn't even get the law right. Instead, our content team — made up entirely of professional writers with law degrees and practice experience — was built from the ground up on key principles important for solo attorneys and small law firms:

Meaningful, accurate content that helps potential clients make informed decisions about choosing an attorney
Respectful, ethical writing that builds trust and bolsters the firm’s reputation
Unique, personal text that portrays what distinguishes a small law firm or attorney from the competition

Let's put it this way: if you truly care how you come across in your website writing, we might be the writers for you!

Why Not Write Website Content Yourself?

If you have a vision for your content, experience writing for your target audience, knowledge of (or willingness to learn about) writing for the web — and time — by all means, try writing your website copy yourself. The biggest complaints we hear from lawyers who tried their hand at writing, but then wished they’d had us do it from the start, are:

“This is hard!”

Yes, when it comes down to it, pulling off all the elements that a professional writer can — like really speaking to your audience’s interests, explaining legal concepts in layman’s terms, and putting your firm’s best qualities into impressive (yet not boastful!) language — isn’t easy.

“This is taking forever!”

And there’s the rub. Good writing takes time. Often a lot of time. And it’s all the harder if you’re coordinating multiple different authors or stakeholders within your firm.

Falling behind on supplying content is the #1 cause of delay for our law firm website projects. As you think about whether you have the capacity to write for your site, it might help to ask yourself a simple question: how many otherwise billable hours might you have to spend on writing all the pages of your website? Compare this to our flat per-page writing fee — which is less than many lawyers bill for a single hour of work — and you will likely have the answer to the question of whether you should write your website content yourself. Beyond time, think about performance — like a client representing themselves instead of hiring a lawyer, professionally written content will generally outperform client drafted material.
