Mobile Apps for Lawyers

The number of people who use smartphones in the U.S. has increased by nearly 100% in the past five years. According to a study conducted by Pew Research Center, 35% of adults in America owned smartphones in 2011, and by 2015 that number had already risen to 68%. Consequently, a successful digital marketing campaign for a law firm or other small business now must include mobile friendly or responsive website design and mobile apps. Law firms can optimize their appeal to smartphone users and gain an edge over their competitors with custom mobile apps.

Mobile apps help millions of people throughout the U.S. manage their daily lives more efficiently and effectively, and law firms around the country have begun taking digital marketing to the next level by offering mobile apps for current and prospective clients. Mobile apps enable lawyers to further establish their brands and increase their visibility among smartphone users. An interactive mobile app can allow prospective clients to access information even more quickly and easily than a mobile website does, and it can also offer tools to help clients manage case details and share information.

Mobile apps for lawyers often feature basic firm information, GPS navigation to office locations and appointment scheduling, but apps can also be customized to appeal to a target audience and engage clients in a particular practice area. For example:

  • Family law attorneys could provide apps that include child support calculators and interactive checklists.
  • A personal injury lawyer app could allow clients to track their injuries and treatment, as well as document witness statements and accident photos.
  • An employment lawyer’s app can offer detailed answers to frequently asked questions about federal and state employment laws at a user’s fingertips.

Offering an app that is useful to prospective clients, can tip the scales in your favor and help you edge out the competition. It can also enhance your image and internet presence, streamline communications with clients and appeal to prospective clients.
