Why Law Firms Should Use Digital Advertising

In days gone by, people used to look to the classifieds or the Yellow Pages when they needed to hire a lawyer. They may have asked friends and family for recommendations too.

People are also more likely to use the internet to find law firms in their area, with a Google search that will point them in the right direction.
