- Client Case Studies: It’s easy to toot our own horns but what really makes an impact is hearing what other’s have to say about our service and their experience with us. Share success stories and case studies showcasing how your firm helped clients overcome legal challenges. Highlight the human side of the law. To take this step to the next level, provide video testimonials from happy clients.

These videos are all the rave right now and is one of the best ways to gain visibility.
