Many criminal defense attorneys begin their career as state prosecutors or public defenders. They
eventually opened their own private practice after a brief career working for the government. However,
there is one important problem they encounter when they open their private practice, anwaltssuche
they no longer receive a steady paycheck.
Of course new defense attorneys understand that they are taking a risk by "going on their own".

clientele. Any successful private law practice understands that in order to keep your practice afloat you
must generate your own clients.

gain new clients to stay alive?" The answer is not simple, but the solution is.Advertising is the key for

advertising. New criminal defense attorneys do not have a large budget, therefore television, radio and

slowly becoming a saturated and ineffective advertising tool. As more attorneys have their website
"optimized", the less likely it is that your website will rank high on search results. Search engines
constantly change their algorithms, so your website might be "optimized" for today but it may need
maintenance in the future.
Search engine advertising allows you to appear on the top of the search results. This can be extremely
expensive for any attorney. For criminal defense attorneys, the cost-per-click for search engine

source of leads and can target individuals who need immediate legal help. Direct mail advertising can
become the ultimate client source for any criminal defense attorney.

few methods in which you can be proactive in reaching out to a potential client. Instead of hoping they
find you on their own, find them and let them know who you are.
