What actually happens at the end of my FindLaw contract?
Why shouldn’t I just rebuild my site myself or hire a cheaper developer?
How is this different from switching to another legal marketing company?
FindLaw can leave you with a lot of questions.
How About Some Answers?
Keep My SEO?
Your rankings come from how Google reads your website — not from FindLaw itself.
With a properly planned transition, rankings can be preserved, and in many cases improved by removing FindLaw’s page limits and adding targeted, high-value content.
End of Contract?
Most FindLaw contracts quietly roll into month-to-month billing at higher rates, with a required 90-day notice to cancel.
You continue paying for the same site, and no new work or improvements are made unless you specifically request (and pay for) them.
Cheap Developer?
I’ve done this transition roughly 300 times and understand where things go wrong.
You don’t need the most expensive marketing company — but this also isn’t something you want handled casually if retaining the value of what you’ve already paid FindLaw is important.
How is This Different?
You’ll own your website, content, and hosting, with no long-term lock-in.
You’ll also work directly with someone who has real experience with FindLaw transitions and a vested interest in making your site a strong example — most of my work comes from referrals.

Hi. I'm James.
When you work with me, there’s no middle layer — no project managers, no ticket systems, no handoffs. I’ve been working in online legal marketing since 2003, including five years at FindLaw, and building sites independently since 2008. I design and build custom WordPress websites for law firms that look professional, perform well, and don’t come with endless monthly fees. You work directly with the person doing the work, and you end up with a site you actually own.
