May 01, 2018

New client acquisition can cost 15 times more than retaining an existing client, and yet most lawyers spend their limited and valuable time chasing new clients.

Once satisfaction is confirmed, the ideal client relationship advances to loyalty and, ultimately, to advocacy. A loyal client uses you for everything they can; they rarely seek alternatives. An advocate will share their positive experience with others and recommend you.

Our aim should be a mutually beneficial relationship in which lawyer and client each feel known, trusted and liked.
