Firm milestones, attorney accolades, new practice areas, and industry commentary all belong in front of editors, journalists, and legal directories. This service is for family law firms announcing growth and recognition and for the businesses serving the family law industry who need coverage in the publications their attorney buyers and the self-represented actually read. A press release written by someone who understands these audiences is the difference between placement and a filing cabinet.

Why it matters for family law firms
A press release is not just an announcement. In family law, it is a credibility signal that reaches audiences a website cannot. Bar publications, legal directories, local business journals, and online legal news outlets all pick up well-written releases from firms they recognize as active in the space. That coverage builds authority that no paid ad can replicate.
For referral sources, a byline in a local business journal or a mention in a legal trade outlet confirms that this firm is serious, growing, and worth recommending. For prospective clients searching an attorney’s name, external coverage is the strongest trust signal on the results page.
What I write press releases for
Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, local bar recognitions, and industry awards. A release turns a credential into a credibility event that reaches editors and referral sources who would not otherwise know about it.
New office locations, practice area expansions, attorney hires, and anniversaries. Growth signals to prospective clients and referral sources that the firm is stable, invested, and building for the long term.
Legislative changes, notable court decisions, and custody law updates. A release positioning the firm’s attorney as a commentator on developments in the field builds thought leadership beyond a single case or credential.
What makes it work
“A press release written like a marketing piece gets filed in a journalist’s trash folder. Written like news, it gets read.”
The standard for a press release that gets picked up is different from every other piece of copy a firm produces. It has to lead with what is genuinely newsworthy, follow AP style conventions that editors expect, and make the story easy to run with minimal rewriting. 30 years inside family law means I know what editors covering legal beats find interesting and what reads as self-promotional noise.
