Cancel Your FindLaw Website
…or Better Yet, Don’t Buy one in the First Place
My name is James Eichenberger. I am the owner of Swell-Sites, a small legal marketing company that has helped hundreds of law firms since 2008. I help law firms create and maintain a cost-effective online presence through websites and advertising campaigns.
- Are you paying too much for a FindLaw website? I can build you a new site for a fixed cost and ensure that your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Google placements stay in place.
- If you are seeing a bad return on your advertising dollars, I can help you create and track a campaign on Google Ads.
- If you are a new law firm or just getting started with marketing, I can put together a cost effective plan that we can grow over time with your firm.
Websites should not cost thousands of dollars a month.
I worked for FindLaw from 2003 through 2008. In that time, I learned a lot about what attorneys want in a website. I also realized FindLaw was missing the mark in a lot of ways.
FindLaw builds overpriced websites through a convoluted and difficult build process. This is followed by a long-term contract with high monthly fees producing bad results… does this sound familiar? Contact me today – I can help.
Since 2008, I have helped over 200 law firms move websites from FindLaw. None have them have seen a significant decrease in Google placement or overall traffic. To say it plainly, they’re all doing great. This saves the law firm thousands of dollars and often makes the website more effective.
Website vs. Marketing
FindLaw does not want you to distinguish between what you’re paying for the actual website and what you’re paying for the marketing of the website. This is why everything is a package with moving parts. If you do not understand what the products you have from FindLaw are supposed to be doing, that is something I can help you understand.
The most important thing to understand on Website vs. Marketing is that your website should be a relatively fixed cost, and your marketing is something that should cost you money each month… If you are paying $800 a month for your website, that’s $10,000 a year that should be going into actively marketing your practice (targeted ads, content creation, display advertising), …NOT website hosting.
Hosting a Website Does Not Cost $800 a Month
Isn’t FindLaw optimizing my site to show up organically?
FindLaw does a good job of taking credit for things that Google likely would have done on their own with some basic set-up. Understanding where your website shows up, how you got there and what you need to do to keep that position is important. This is obviously unique to each firm and their marketing goals.
The fact is, most law firm websites have nothing to lose and thousands of dollars a year to gain by cutting FindLaw out and investing money directly into Google, online Directories and other sources of viable traffic.
Search engine rankings are not the result of FindLaw or any other company pulling strings behind the scenes to keep you on the first page. They are the result of the content and coding on your site, and your presence in local directories and other websites. Continuing to pay for these results over and over again is obviously foolish. If you’re actively paying for a website, you should be seeing a result. If your website is just sort of hanging around, that should not cost more than a few hundred dollars a year.
How is Swell-Sites different?
My goal is to help lawyers differentiate between a well built website and an active marketing plan. I offer both, and I think most attorneys have at least some need for both, but we will not confuse the two. You will pay a flat fee for your website, and you will own your website outright. You have the option of zero on-going fees, and if needed, you can hire me to work on your site on an hourly basis. I do also offer on-going packages for law firms with more aggressive marketing goals.Contact Me Today

Sites I've Built & What Lawyers Had to Say About Them.
Let's Get Started
I can help you create an effective and affordable web presence that will be profitable for years to come. Don’t “rent” another website.
Own your website, and then make adjustments to your marketing as you need to.
very easy Process
I have done this over 150 times. You can rest assured I will get you through this transition process. You simply give me the passwords I need and I will take care of the rest.
payment plans & financing
I typically charge half up front and half when the site is done. However, if you need payment optionsI am willing to work with you on something that will fit your budget
changes & updates
You do not need to have a monthly plan to get updates to your site. You can hire me on an hourly or project basis to keep your website up to date when needed.
Accident & Injury Lawyers
If you are a personal injury lawyer, you have likely already heard every pitch by every slimy salesman ever.
“It only takes ONE case to pay for it ALL!!!”
Criminal Defense Lawyers
Some potential clients want to find a criminal defense right away, while some will wait until right before their trial to call. Sometimes you’ll be hired by the client directly, and other times you’ll be hired by the cousin, girlfriend, wife, mom, etc. of the person who is in jail.
Estate Planning Lawyers
Estate planning is typically the highest trafficked area of law. It is also the most difficult to actually convert. Procrastination is a powerful force; no one thinks they’re going to need a will tomorrow.
Divorce & Family Law Attorneys
Maybe more than any other area of law, your personality and approach to practicing law should come through in your family law website. People searching for a divorce lawyer are typically emotionally exhausted, so making the process simple and easy is critical.
