Signed cases. Real numbers. No vanity metrics.
Every number on this page is a measured result from a real engagement, and every story follows the same arc: diagnose the actual constraint, fix the foundation, then amplify. The practice areas differ. The method doesn't.

Family law: from unpredictable case flow to five retainers a month.
Trevor Colvin, P.A.
The situation. A family law practice with no cost-effective way to generate new retainers. Case flow was unpredictable, which made hiring and planning guesswork.
The thinking. Family law clients decide fast and local. The strategy targeted high-intent local searches tied to the cases the firm actually wanted, paired paid search for immediate flow with SEO for compounding flow, and tracked everything from first click to signed retainer so budget decisions came from data.

Personal injury: ninety-one percent more cases, at higher value.
Della Costa & Neville
The situation. A personal injury firm running short of cases every month, with low-quality inquiries and no visibility into what marketing produced.
The thinking. In PI, case quality matters as much as case volume. The work rebuilt search authority around the firm's strongest case types, so growth came from better cases, not just more calls, while closed-loop tracking connected spend to signed cases for the first time.

Criminal defense: fifteen retainers a month and a new market.
Mike G Law
The situation. A criminal defense firm ready to grow retainer volume in a competitive market.
The thinking. Volume in criminal defense rewards speed and visibility: dominant local presence, authority that compounds, and a bet competitors were ignoring, the Spanish-speaking market, which became an entirely new client segment.

The pattern behind all three.
None of these started with tactics. They started with a diagnosis: what's the real constraint, what cases does the firm actually want, and how will we know it's working? The channels came after, in sequence, measured in signed cases from day one. That's the same process every sprint and every advisory engagement runs. The practice area changes; the discipline doesn't.
