The information that LegalMatch provides on the client profile helps me reach out. I’m able to reach out to the potential client from the system almost every time.
I'm a solo practitioner. At various times over the last 10 years, I've had staff working with me. There are times when I've just been on my own, a true solo practitioner where I handle all of the firm's responsibilities on my own.
In the process of picking up clients, 50% of my caseload is from personal referrals. The other 50% is a mix of obtaining clients from a number of different sources. In this sense, I was contacted several years ago by LegalMatch. I'm very pleased with its services at this point, very glad I made the decision to sign up.
I signed up for LegalMatch for the increased business. I can always be busier and use more clients. I went with LegalMatch because it had the best platform and I’m really happy with the customer service. My initial contact with LegalMatch did a great job.
The LegalMatch platform is easy to use. Whenever there’s a glitch, that’s been corrected for me. I’m happy about that. I like the LegalMatch way of contacting clients. That initial phone contact is very important. The information that LegalMatch provides on the client profile helps me reach out. I’m able to reach out to the potential client from the system almost every time.
I’ve secured clients with LegalMatch, which has been great. I can do it anytime on the platform. I can pick up new business. That is the biggest benefit from LegalMatch.
I would recommend LegalMatch to other attorneys because it offers the best services. For those wanting to sign up, LegalMatch provides a good source of potential clients, that’s the beauty of it.
You have to figure out for yourself how you want to work it. You have to be diligent. You have to not get discouraged -- it took me a while before I really got the hang of it and was able to make it work for me. Don’t get discouraged when you’re not developing new business right away. Just stick with it.
If you want it to work, the LegalMatch platform’s there for you. I have my smartphone with the LegalMatch app with me all the time and that’s how I find out that there’s a new potential client that’s seeking out my services. I also tried email and made it so I could respond quickly. The quick response is important, so I try to stay on top of that.
If you're seeking an attorney, if you need legal counsel, you'd certainly want to be comfortable with your attorney. You'd want to feel confident that the attorney is going to provide competent legal services. How do you make that determination? That's based on your initial conversation, maybe your impression. So I would say reach out right away, if nothing else, just to make contact and let the person know you received their inquiry from LegalMatch and you're getting back to them. Tell them you’d be happy to set up another time to talk to them.
From the standpoint of LegalMatch providing me referrals during this pandemic, it hasn’t really dropped off. My membership is still paying for itself. I’m able to generate business beyond it, so even with the pandemic, business from LegalMatch hasn’t really been affected.
I used another lead generation system a couple of years ago and I can tell you that LegalMatch is a better system than that one. It’s pretty easy once you learn the platform. It doesn’t take much training. I don’t know of anything that I would do to improve it. It’s a pretty good system.
