Clienting #23: Greg Siskind Literally Wrote the Book on Legal Marketing

Clienting: Digital Legal Marketing

Gyi & Kelly talked with immigration lawyer Greg Siskind about his firm's marketing efforts. Greg launched the first small law firm website by teaching himself HTML coding in the early 1990's.

Greg shared his process for breaking down legal content for blog posts, social media, and gaining PR.

Greg wisely points out that legal marketing doesn't have to be for potential clients only, you can target other lawyers, journalists, law schools, and more with your content.

Advocacy marketing works well for immigration and legislated fields of consumer-facing law.
