5 Types of Content Lawyers Must Create Today

5 Types of Content Lawyers Must Create Today

by Kristi Patrice Carter, JD

A few days ago, one of my clients posed an interesting question: Are there specific types of content attorneys can develop to stand out? How can they display their power and authenticity without sounding like jerks?

They then told me how they’ve tried posting more. Writing educational and creative material.

They’d even tried developing and sticking to a strategy, but nothing was happening. No clicks. No calls. Just bills piling up while their mediocre competitors racked up the clients.

I then gave them the 411. No hype. I told them that nowadays they had to stand out while adhering to the rules. They had to cleverly connect with prospects’ pain points while showcasing their expertise in a non-jerky way.

I also told them that they could try these clever strategies:

1.Bad Legal Advice Reaction Videos.

Videos that showed why other advice was just plain wrong. I told them to research a trending TikTok topic and post about why the advice was wrong and could land them in serious legal hot water.

  • This method is effective because people are readily searching for this information and need the right information. Therefore, when you rightfully indicate what is false, they can easily see you as the authority figure – the one with the right answers.
  • Why It Works: You demonstrate your skills by being an authority figure and potentially saving people from bad advice. Of course, the typical disclaimer information must be shown and doesn’t blatantly call out anyone, but you can still offer corrections so they don’t repeat the same mistake.

2. The Receipt (Data-Driven Case Studies)

Most lawyers boast about obtaining results today. However, very few of them show the mathematics behind the figures. Yes, it is nice to give results, but even nicer to give evidence behind the numbers. You should develop materials that break down the economics of a case so that prospects and clients can see the concrete numbers and progress.

  • Example: Do not merely say, we got 150k for a client who was hit by a truck. Rather, we settled a case for $150k on behalf of a client who was hit by a truck in a road accident, and here is the breakdown. Medical liens: $30k. Lawyer fee: $50k. Client went home with: $70k. Hack: Never forget to include a disclaimer that past performance does not guarantee future results.
  • Why it works: It cultivates the Trust and offers the answer to the most frequent question, which is usually not asked by clients: How much did the person keep? Honesty and transparency also safeguard you against liability and dings to your bar card because clients will not be misled into thinking that they will have a similar outcome.

3. “DM-to-Download” Flowcharts

Not every post should end with a call to action to schedule a free consultation. Make a graphic flowchart. As an illustration, the 5 Stages of a Divorce Timeline, What Happens after My Case Is Accepted, or Do I even have a Case? The flowcharts will assist the clients in a graphical representation of the steps. They will be well informed about the processes and expectations and prepared to address bottlenecks. They will also be better placed to learn the way the process works.

  • The hook: Share a preview of the chart and say, comment “CHART” and I will send you the entire high-res PDF.
  • Why it works: This is based on Direct-to-DM automation. It retains them on the platform by automatically capturing the lead.

4. The Dashboard Cam Confession

Get rid of the studio lights and suit. Record a video on your phone as soon as you get out of the courthouse (or in your car). This will result in relatable content.

  • The message: I have just walked out of a hearing in which the judge denied bail over a minor mistake. Don’t let this happen to you. Be authentic and real. Be vulnerable and above all, show your humanness. Nowadays, consumers are interested in knowing the real you, rather than the AI version of you.
  • Why it works: It is “AI Slop” proof. AI is a tool; it cannot capture the raw emotion and immediate context of a lawyer sitting in a car, talking about a real-time issue that evokes strong feelings in them and the viewer.

5. Multi-Language Know Your Rights Shorts

Take one of your most successful English videos (e.g., What to do if pulled over) and have it translated into another language using AI Dubbing tools. Then have a translator review the content to ensure it is genuine, and post.

  • The plan: Put these on different channels or playlists to attract other prospects and clients who speak a different language
  • Why it works: This is a good strategy because it lets you reach customers you otherwise wouldn’t, and it positions you as a multilingual community firm without a translator. If there is a particular pattern, e.g., if you see more Spanish-speaking clients, it might be time to hire an additional attorney and at least a paralegal who could serve as a translator. In any case, the output of AI should be checked by a native speaker before publication. Bad legal advice can result from an AI translation error, which can damage your reputation and bar card.

6. Secret Shop Your Own Industry

Start by analyzing non-legal products or services within your discipline and begin posting about them.

  • For example, a DUI attorney buys and uses personal breathalyzers purchased on Amazon to test their validity. A PI attorney is inspecting car seats to determine their safety.
  • Why it works: It puts you as a consumer advocate, rather than a lawyer seeking a fee. It establishes strategic collaborations with Google and AI and develops Topical Authority.

The Verdict: Law in 2026 is not only about knowing legal maxims or memorizing cases, but it is also now about who can best convey.

You do not want to use the post and pray method. If you want to win today, you should sound more than an advertisement.

You have to act like a human resource person who cares about people. Before demanding a retainer, you must verify, humanize, and demonstrate value.

Ready to give up posting mediocre videos and begin connecting? These strategies cannot be implemented by simply having a camera and a caption; it demands a strategy with implementation. Let’s get to work.
