Michelle Connell and Wes Gelb have worked together for years, first at a regional law firm in Raleigh, North Carolina, then at a national firm’s Raleigh office. They worked well together and had even discussed forming their own firm in the past, ultimately deciding to stay within the structure of the larger firm.

Eventually, though, like many attorneys practicing in large firms, Michelle and Wes realized that they’d need to go out on their own to run their practice the way they wanted. They founded Connell & Gelb, PLLC in Raleigh to focus exclusively on family law, including divorce and complex property division.

There was no question that Michelle and Wes had the legal skill to make their firm a success; both are North Carolina board-certified family law attorneys, and Michelle was the first attorney in the state to be board certified in appellate practice as well as family law. All they needed was a website to introduce their new firm to the world.

The Website

Intelligent Solutions for Complex Family Law Problems

Unlike many family law attorneys, Michelle and Wes are experienced litigators. That means they have the capacity to handle the complex family law cases that are most likely to go to trial—those involving significant assets or contentious custody battles. They needed a website that conveyed an aura of competence and sophistication that would appeal to their target audience.

At the same time, they started their own firm so that they could offer their clients the attentive personal service they wanted to give. Michelle and Wes also wanted their firm to feel approachable as well as professional.

The Modern Firm’s website design team delivered, with a website in tones of deep blue with striking copper accents against a crisp white background. The color scheme and the carefully-selected fonts and imagery are both sophisticated and welcoming.

Michelle and Wes also worked with one of The Modern Firm’s attorney writers to ensure that the website’s content got their message—and desired impression—across. Putting their website in the hands of a company that focuses on small law firms let them focus on what matters: serving their clients.
