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