Service

Articles that build a reputation worth having.

A published article does three things at once: builds thought leadership, supports SEO, and puts your name in front of the referral sources and professional audiences actively evaluating you. This service is for family law firms building authority in their market and for the businesses selling tools, software, or services to those firms. Most attorneys and vendors know they should be publishing. They do not because writing takes time they do not have.

Service type

Ghostwritten articles, bylined under the attorney

Placements

Firm blog, bar journals, and legal trade publications

Niche

Family law and divorce only

The problem

Why most family law content goes unread

Generic legal content agencies produce articles that could have been written for any firm in any state. They rank for nothing, convert nobody, and tell the reader nothing about why this attorney is the right choice. Family law readers can tell when a writer does not know the subject. A client in a custody dispute is emotionally alert. An article that feels researched from the outside stops earning trust the moment that becomes apparent.

What I write

Three article types, one standard

Client Education Articles

Written for the parent searching custody questions at midnight. Answers real questions in plain language. Ranks in organic search. Converts traffic into consultation requests.

Professional Perspective Articles

Longer, analytical pieces that position the attorney as a recognized voice. Written for referral sources, peers, and sophisticated clients. Byline-ready for outside publications.

Location & Practice-Area Articles

Captures high-intent local search traffic. Covers state-specific procedural details accurately. Targets the searches your ideal client runs before picking up the phone.

Why it works

Written from inside the subject, not about it

“There is a detectable difference between content written by someone with genuine experience and content built solely from research. Readers in family law situations feel it.”

Every article is ghostwritten under the attorney’s byline. The voice, the positioning, and the expertise on the page are yours. 30 years inside high-conflict divorce means I know which topics produce consultation requests and which ones attract researchers who never call.

How it works

From brief to published in five steps

Brief.

You share the topic and target reader. I recommend topics if you prefer.

Research.

I review competing content and identify where it falls short before writing a word.

Draft.

A complete, polished article ready for your review. Not a rough pass.

Revisions.

Two rounds included. Most articles go to final after one.

Delivery.

Clean copy with SEO metadata, formatted and ready to publish.

Common questions

Do you write one-off articles or ongoing retainers?
Both. One-off articles work well for specific placements or testing the service. Monthly retainers build the content library that compounds SEO authority over time. Most clients start with one article and move to a retainer quickly.
 
Is ghostwriting permitted under bar rules?
Yes. Ghostwriting legal marketing content is permitted under the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and is standard practice. The attorney reviews and approves every article before publication.
 
Can you write for outside publications, not just our site?
Yes. Outside placement articles are written to fit the editorial requirements of the target outlet. Bar journals, legal trade publications, and industry outlets all have different expectations. We scope the article to the outlet before writing begins.
