Cancel Your FindLaw Website
…or Better Yet, Don’t Buy One in the First Place
Hi, I’m James Eichenberger, owner of Swell-Sites. Since 2008, I’ve helped hundreds of law firms take control of their online presence. My goal is simple: to help you own a cost-effective, results-driven website that works for your practice—without the perpetual fees and restrictions of “high-end” providers like FindLaw.
Are You Paying Too Much for a FindLaw Website?
Here’s how I can help:
- Lower Costs, Better Results: I’ll build you a high-quality website for a fixed cost while ensuring your SEO and Google placements stay intact.
- Advertising You Can Track: If your marketing dollars aren’t delivering, I’ll help you create and monitor effective Google Ads campaigns.
- Scalable Solutions: For new or growing law firms, I’ll design a cost-effective plan you can build on as your firm expands.
Websites Should Not Cost Thousands of Dollars a Month
Why Leave FindLaw?
I worked at FindLaw from 2003 to 2008, where I learned what attorneys need from their websites—and where FindLaw often falls short.
Here’s the problem:
- FindLaw websites come with high upfront costs and long-term contracts.
- Monthly fees pile up, often exceeding $10,000 a year, with minimal results.
- The build process is overly complex, and the results don’t justify the expense.
Since starting Swell-Sites, I’ve helped over 200 law firms move their websites away from FindLaw. None have suffered a significant drop in Google rankings or traffic. In fact, they’ve saved thousands of dollars while improving their online performance.
Website vs. Marketing: What’s the Difference?
FindLaw blurs the line between website hosting and marketing, bundling everything into one overpriced package. Here’s what you need to know:
- Website: This should be a one-time, fixed cost. Hosting a website should cost a few hundred dollars a year, not $800+ a month.
- Marketing: Monthly fees should go toward active marketing efforts like Google Ads, content creation, or display advertising—not static website hosting.
If you’re paying FindLaw $800 a month, that’s $10,000 a year wasted on hosting fees that could be driving new clients to your firm.

Why FindLaw Isn’t the Key to SEO Success
Does FindLaw optimize your site to rank on Google?
Not exactly. They often take credit for what Google does naturally with basic setup and content.
Your site’s rankings depend on:
- Quality content and coding.
- Local directory listings and backlinks.
- Regular updates to match your goals.
Paying thousands of dollars annually for something that should be self-sustaining is unnecessary. Let me help you shift that budget into active marketing that delivers real results.

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.
