Why Your Law Firm Marketing Strategy Fails.

Strategy Vacuum

Law Firms operate without any real strategic foundation, confusing a collection of random marketing activities with actual strategy.

Target Diffusion

Law Firms refuse to make clear targeting choices, diluting their efforts by trying to be relevant to everyone.

Generic Positioning

The Law Firm's market positioning lacks any meaningful differentiation, relying on universal claims of excellence that say nothing unique.

Execution Obsession

Law Firms rush to tactical implementation and digital tools before doing proper strategic groundwork and market analysis.

Bad Team Dynamics

Law Firms let partner preferences and internal dynamics drive marketing decisions instead of market research and client needs.

Vanity Metrics

Law firms focus on superficial measurements like social media engagement rather than tracking meaningful indicators of business growth
Dan Toombs

Hello, I’m Dan and for 2 decades I have been helping law firms grow.

Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed a consistent pattern in law firm marketing. Despite substantial investments in websites, digital marketing, and content creation, most firms struggle to achieve sustainable growth. The reason is fundamental but often overlooked: they’re executing tactics without proper strategy.

I see three critical errors repeatedly:

First, firms jump straight to tactical execution – new websites, social media campaigns, content marketing – without understanding their true market position or competitive advantage. It’s like building a house without foundations.

Second, they try to be all things to all clients, diluting their market position and wasting marketing budget trying to appeal to everyone. In doing so, they appeal to no one.

Third, they make crucial marketing decisions based on assumptions, competitor copying, or internal consensus rather than strategic analysis and market evidence. This leads to misaligned investment and poor returns.

The cost? Millions wasted on ineffective marketing. Growth opportunities missed. Market position eroded. Competitive advantage surrendered.

This is why I’ve developed a systematic approach to law firm marketing strategy that brings clarity to chaos. Through four carefully structured services, I help ambitious firms build sustainable competitive advantage
