Relying on Referrals for your Lawyer Marketing

Many attorneys resist marketing on the Internet because they feel that they get sufficient clients from referrals. While there is nothing wrong with getting clients from referrals, lawyers should consider if this is the only method upon which they wish to rely and the opportunities of online marketing with a trustworthy marketing consultant. When you depend on referrals as your main source of new business, your control over the type of business you receive depends on those referrals. Your client base depends on what cases are sent your way. If you have to pay for those referrals, you should consider how much you pay out compared to a marketing plan that allows you to control your flow of new clients and self select the type of cases you would like to handle.
