Make videos on Facebook talking about your practice. Get a list of all your contacts and your parents assuming you grew up there and send them a letter saying you are a lawyer and open for business.
Meet family law and bankruptcy lawyers and tell them you will refer them cases if they do the same. Promise them a cut of their referrals.
I started my practice a few years back and it was the best thing I’ve ever done. Check out Maximum lawyer group on Facebook they have loads of material on it.
Keep your expenses low. Do as much of the web design, etc yourself for now. There will be times when you have no money for months so every dollar you can not spend is extremely valuable.

How long have you been out? What’s your prior practice background?
The best advertisement for a PI lawyer getting started is: verdicts. Get verdict and people will know who you are. How does one get verdicts at first you ask? Try any case, anywhere, anytime. That’s your pitch. The worse the case is the better. You’ll learn a lot and you’ll get the respect of your peers.
Do you mind sharing what city?
I haven’t gone out on my own but I know a lot of solos in the Oregon market will contract with firms (and even other solos) to get some work initially, and they end up with a lot of referrals that way.
Promote yourself. Tik tok, Facebook, Instagram are all areas to promote yourself.
Client contact: contact your clients when you can update them on files. Make them as much a part of the case (updated not working) as you work the file. Basically every time you go into a file update them on it if you can.
Have a game plan: structure your legal files as concretely as possible. When I worked on plaintiff’s PI I structured my cases by half year. Every half year I did a review of everything and determined if the case had an ability to be successful (liabilities, injuries, witness credibility, venue). This and a plan for Arb; trial can help.
Use Med Packs to your benefit: send the claim rep the info ahead of time. Although the evaluations may be low and you may have a difference of opinion on evaluated amounts being upfront with claims is important and helpful to the court.
Documentation: document everything you send out to everyone. Use top notes that outline your entire case (liability arguments, threshold issues, injuries, procedural issues and discovery hand out)
