Law Firm Website Examples

What makes them work, one site at a time. Seven are real firms in and around Louisville, and I checked each one on September 24, 2026. One is my own design demo, and it's labeled as one.

How I looked at these sites

A screenshot and the word "clean" don't help you decide anything. Here's what I looked for instead.

I opened each site on a phone, the way somebody would halfway through a bad week. Then I asked three questions.

  • Can somebody tell in about five seconds whether this firm handles their problem? People arrive with one situation. They're sorting, not shopping.
  • Is there an obvious way to start, and does the page say what happens next? A phone number is a start. Naming the next step is better.
  • Can a visitor check every claim? Results, awards and reviews all fall under advertising rules, and a website is advertising.

I checked every site on September 24, 2026, and I only describe what was on the page that day. Sites change. If something reads differently when you look, the firm updated it.

Each firm here is named for something it does well.

None of the seven firms are clients of mine. If you want the strategy side instead, that's on my lawyer website design page.

1. Falls City Law, my own demo build

Falls City Law is a made-up firm in Southern Indiana. I designed it to show how a small practice site can be laid out. Every name, phone number and address on it is a sample, and the intake form doesn't send anything.

Practice areas come first: family law, estate planning and personal injury. A visitor sorts themselves before reading a word about the firm. Next comes a short block called "Questions people ask first", with four plain answers about cost and scheduling. The intake form says who calls you back, and when.

There are no testimonials on it. Lawyer reviews fall under advertising rules, so the demo doesn't pretend to have any. It also carries the accessibility basics I put on every build: a skip link, visible focus outlines, and labeled navigation and form fields. Motion backs off when a visitor turns on reduced motion.

  • Copy this The practice-area split at the top, and plain answers about cost before anybody has to call.

Look around the Falls City Law demo.

2. Dodd & Dodd Attorneys, a homepage that asks where you are

This is the best starting point of the eight. The headline is two words: "Something Changed." Under it, a section called "Where Are You Today?" lists links written as the questions people have. "I am considering divorce. What should I understand first?" "I have been served with divorce papers. What should I do next?"

That's a menu people can sort themselves with, and it matches how somebody types into Google late at night. The questions sit under four numbered groups: divorce, child custody, family law and tax.

The lead attorney's bio is the other thing to copy. It lists "Admitted to Bar: 1999, Kentucky" as a line item, then his law degree and an LL.M. in taxation. It names his co-author credit on a Kentucky domestic relations practice reference, and the bar family law sections he has chaired. All of it is specific, and all of it can be checked.

The page is honest about price, too. It says the firm will explain its consultation process, availability and fees when you contact the office.

  • Copy this Question-shaped links instead of one-word menu items, and a bio that lists bar admission as a fact.

3. Colyer Law Firm, the fee is on the home page

Plenty of injury firms don't mention the fee until you're in the office. Colyer puts it at the top of the home page: "Our fee starts at 25%. Never 40%." A section further down explains what that means for your settlement. Whatever you think of the number, publishing it sets the firm apart.

Two structural moves are worth copying. The nine practice areas are numbered 01 to 09, each with a one-line hook, so they read as a set. And each review on the home page shows the case type next to the name, like "Auto Accident" or "Personal Injury". A visitor can see what kind of case the praise is about.

The attorney section is short and plain. It names both office addresses, Middletown and Shively, and ends with a "- Tony" sign-off. The sample result cards carry this line: "Representative examples shown for illustration, not actual case results or guarantees."

  • Copy this Publishing the fee, tagging each review with its case type, and a plain disclaimer under anything that looks like a result.

4. Gray & White Law, narrowing the practice on purpose

This site says out loud which cases it wants. The copy says the firm focuses on nursing home neglect, catastrophic vehicle wrecks, medical malpractice and wrongful death. It adds that other firms "advertise for every minor collision." That line turns some visitors away, and that's the point.

The best detail is a staffing fact written as a client benefit: a registered nurse on staff who turns medical records into evidence a jury can follow. It's concrete, and a competitor can't copy it with a rewrite. There's also a statement from co-founder Matt White, signed with his name, and a line saying the firm has handled cases in nearly every Kentucky county.

  • Copy this Narrowing on purpose, and turning a staffing fact into a client benefit.

5. Haney Law, bios that list every court

Take the bios from this one. One associate's profile spells out his admissions: all courts of the commonwealth, including the Supreme Court of Kentucky, plus the Indiana Supreme Court and the lower Indiana state courts. That's a credential somebody can check.

The contact form does the other thing right. Above the button, it says that contacting the firm through the site doesn't create an attorney-client relationship, and that what you send isn't privileged. Every law firm intake form needs that line.

Behind a "View More" button there's a 15-question FAQ written for Kentucky. It covers the one-year deadline on most injury claims, the separate clock for car wreck claims tied to the last PIP payment, and pure comparative fault. There's also a section about the Haney family farm in Nancy, Kentucky, passed down through five generations. A detail like that helps a visitor picture who they'd be hiring.

  • Copy this Court admissions in the bios, the privilege line on the form, and an FAQ written for your state.

6. Louisville Injury Firm, the form does the sorting

The free case review form has a "Type of case" dropdown: car accident, workers' compensation, truck accident, motorcycle accident, dog bite, premises liability, wrongful death, other. That one field routes the lead and tells the person the firm handles their problem. The first call starts with facts instead of twenty questions.

The form also says, in one line, that no attorney-client relationship is formed by sending it. And the page names the statute for the filing deadline, KRS 413.140(1)(a), instead of just saying deadlines apply.

  • Copy this The case-type dropdown, and citing the Kentucky statute by number.

7. Durrett & Kersting, written to the worry

The copy here understands its reader. It says people arrive "overwhelmed by conflicting advice online, pressure from the other side, or fear that hiring a lawyer means losing control of the process." The estate planning blurb names why people put off a will: "the process feels confusing or intimidating." That's how you write for somebody who hasn't decided to hire anybody yet.

The structure is smart too. Instead of one family law page, the menu splits by who's asking: Father's Rights, Divorce for Women, Same-Sex Family Law, Uncontested Divorce. It's the same body of law with different worries, so each gets its own page. That's the right way to build out a practice area. Near-copies of one page, made only to catch keywords, are the wrong way.

  • Copy this Copy written to the client's state of mind, and pages split by who's asking.

8. Cooper & Friedman, credentials with names on them

This firm has practiced since 1991. Its practice list runs past the usual injury pages to civil rights and police misconduct, and to unfair credit reporting and debt collection, each with its own menu item.

Credentials are tied to people. The page names Michael T. Cooper's selection to the American Board of Trial Advocates, instead of a vague "award-winning team" line. And a "Se Habla Espanol" line sits in the header, so a Spanish-speaking visitor knows right away that they can call.

  • Copy this Credentials attached to a named attorney, and telling Spanish speakers up front that they can call.
The short version

What every law firm website needs

Six things. If your site is missing one, fix it before you think about a redesign.

One obvious intake path

A tap-to-call number, a short form, and a sentence that says what happens after somebody sends it. Put a case-type field on the form so the lead sorts itself. Add the line that sending it doesn't create an attorney-client relationship and isn't privileged.

A page per practice area

A bulleted list on one services page won't do it. Somebody searching "custody lawyer Louisville" needs a page about custody. Where the worries differ, split further, the way Durrett & Kersting split father's rights from divorce for women.

Attorney bios with bar admissions

Year admitted, jurisdiction, and every court you're admitted to, listed as facts. Then education, focus and something human. People hire a person, so the bio carries a lot of weight.

Reviews on the page, not just on Google

Pull real Google reviews onto the site and tag each one with the case type, the way Colyer does. "Auto accident" next to a quote tells a visitor what the praise is about. Never write one yourself, and check your bar's rules on testimonials first.

A mobile call button that's always there

A lot of legal searches happen on a phone, from a hospital, a parking lot or a courthouse hallway. Keep the number in a sticky bar or the header, one tap away, on every page.

Accessibility basics

Skip link, visible focus outlines, real alt text, labeled form fields, headings in order, and enough contrast to read in a car. An inaccessible site shuts some clients out, and it can draw a demand letter. It's also the right way to build.

One more that isn't a feature. Anything that looks like a result or a promise needs a disclaimer, and a read against your bar's advertising rules before it goes live. In Kentucky, those rules are part of the Rules of Professional Conduct (SCR 3.130). Colyer's "not actual case results" line is a good pattern to follow.

Patterns to avoid

What goes wrong on law firm sites

General advice, not a list of anyone's mistakes. None of these are design problems.

  • Template text left live. Placeholder headings, notes meant for the builder, or an empty blog block that says "No posts found." Look over your own site after every theme or plugin update. It's the cheapest fix there is.
  • Headings written for search engines. Stacking city, state and abbreviation into a heading reads like it was written for Google. Write it for the person, and use the keyword once.
  • Badges before the problem. Credentials reassure somebody who's already considering you. The first screen should confirm the visitor is in the right place and show the next step.
  • Bare location lists. A row of neighborhood names with nothing behind them doesn't help anyone. If a place matters enough to name, give it real content. If not, leave it out.
  • Proof that stops in one year. When the newest thing on a site is years old, visitors notice. Date your news and results, and retire what's stale.
  • Typos near the money. Have someone else proofread the pages about fees and results before they go live.

The fixes are about structure, honesty and upkeep. Colors and fonts don't come into it.

If your site has some of these, a rebuild might not be the answer. My website rescue starts with a $250diagnostic, credited to a Rescue Sprint or rebuild booked within 30 days. You'll know which one you need before you spend real money.
