When someone searches for a local family lawyer, does your site make the case for you?

We build custom sites for family-law firms. Start with a short demo request. Full sites are typically live a few weeks after we begin the build. $199 a month from launch, six-month minimum.

Request a demo See how it works

Built for how family-law clients actually find and choose a firm.

Built around what you actually do.

Your layout, copy, and contact paths reflect your practice and clients. A modern, lightweight build supports fast loading, while structured content makes updates straightforward for our team.

Found by Google and AI.

Family-law keyword targeting, schema markup, Google Business Profile integration, and content structured for citation by AI engines like ChatGPT and Claude. Built into every site at launch, not sold as an add-on later.

Compliance is in the foundation.

We follow a conservative content baseline that's safe in every state. No invented testimonials, no specialist claims, the standard disclaimers in every footer. Anything that touches a state-specific rule is reviewed manually before launch.

Real work, presented beautifully from desktop to pocket.

The site below is a live demo build, not a template mockup. Every page is made to feel considered from the first moment a prospective client lands, whether on a wide monitor or a phone on the bus.

The process

Start with a short request. We’ll guide you from there.

01
Request a demo
A short request: your firm, your services, where you work, and what you want the site to do. We use it to prepare a free demo of your new site. Nothing to prepare beforehand.
02
We build your site
We turn your intake answers into a finished site, with the design, copy, and page structure all produced for your firm.
03
You review, then we launch
You see the finished site before anything goes live, with two rounds of revisions included. Once it's right, we connect your domain and handle hosting and setup.

What you get

A family law site that earns its keep.

Three commitments stand behind every build. They show up in the model, the price, and the site itself.

Nothing lands on your desk.
Getting a site built shouldn’t cost you status meetings, email threads, or weeks of chasing a designer for an update. We carry the work and keep you informed. Calls are available whenever you want them, but never required to keep things moving.
Speed, cost, and quality together.
The usual trade-off between them is a planning problem, not a law of nature. Specializing in one practice area is what makes all three possible at once. That’s the whole model.
It pays for itself.
The site should bring in work, not just exist. At $199/month, a single new client covers years of service. Anything past that is upside.

You’re working with people, not a platform.

I’m Blake. I spent five years at a digital agency designing and building websites for law firms and other professional service businesses. I kept seeing small firms pay agency prices for sites that didn’t perform or settle for templates that didn’t reflect them. Just as often, they were left chasing an agency or freelancer for updates and answers.

First Counsel grew out of both frustrations. I focus on a carefully built site shaped to the firm, while Stephanie brings nearly a decade in account management and client success to the service around it. She keeps clients in the loop, follows through on questions, and makes sure they know who’s looking after the work.
