Law firm website design in Minneapolis and St. Paul
Most law firm websites in the Twin Cities came from a legal directory vendor, and they all read the same way, because the practice-area copy came out of the same content library sold to a hundred other firms. Google can tell. So can the person deciding at ten on a Saturday night whether to call you about a Hennepin County DWI. The page that would actually win that call is the attorney bio, with bar admissions, languages, and a number a human answers, and it is usually the thinnest page on the site.
We have built two sites in this corner of the market, Jabane Law and Access Disability Services, the Social Security disability practice that handles SSI, Child SSI, SSDI, overpayments, and Continuing Disability Review claims, and we would rather tell you the real count than imply a roster of twenty.
We build for how legal work actually arrives: a referral who searches the attorney's name rather than the firm's, a map-pack listing, a form submitted at eleven at night. So we start at intake. What the consultation costs, who conducts it, how fast someone calls back, and how much detail a prospective client should type into a form before anyone has run a conflict check. We are not your ethics counsel, and we build so the lawyer responsible for the content can review a claim once instead of five times.
What usually goes wrong
- 01Your practice-area pages were written for somebody elseDirectory vendors license near-identical Minnesota personal injury and family law pages to dozens of firms at once. Those pages rank for nothing, and they convert badly because they read as though nobody at your firm wrote them. What ranks is the narrow thing you actually do, described the way you would describe it on the phone, then edited into shape rather than invented by a copywriter.
- 02The consultation is where you lose the callerFree consultation on a button, then a form with an open box labeled tell us about your case, then three days of silence. Every step adds friction, and the open box carries its own problem, since unsolicited detail from a prospective client can complicate a later conflict check. Name the price, name the person, promise a callback window, keep the fields few.
- 03Attorney bios carry the most weight and get the least workA referral searches the lawyer's name, not the firm's, so the bio is the first page they read. Most open with a paragraph about a lifelong commitment to justice. Bar admission year, the courts you appear in, law school, languages spoken, prior roles as a prosecutor or examiner, and a direct line belong above that story.
- 04Every marketing claim becomes a review itemMinnesota's Rules of Professional Conduct govern how a firm describes results, testimonials, and specialization, and the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility enforces them. We are not the ones who decide what your firm can say. We build so disclaimers, responsible-lawyer contact details, and any results language sit in fields your attorney edits without calling a developer.
What we build
- Attorney bios with bar admissions, courts, languages, and direct contact
- Practice-area pages built around Minnesota procedure, not licensed vendor boilerplate
- Short intake forms with conflict-check fields and clear no-relationship disclaimers
- Consultation booking wired to Clio Grow, Lawmatics, MyCase, or your Calendly
- Migration off a directory-vendor contract, including domain and content recovery
- LawPay-style payment links that keep operating and trust accounts separate
- Somali, Spanish, Hmong, and Oromo pages with phone routing that matches
- Google Business Profile and map-pack setup consistent with your Local Services listing
Worth knowing
Advertising rules, handled at draft stage
The Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct govern what a firm may say about itself — Rule 7.1 prohibits false or misleading communications, which reaches further than most people expect: implied outcome guarantees, case results presented without context, unqualified superlatives, and testimonials that suggest a similar result is likely. We draft with those constraints in mind and flag anything that needs your judgement rather than writing copy you then have to unpick. You sign off on the final language, as you should. This is not legal advice about your own compliance.
What it costs
Published ranges, not a call-for-pricing page. These are what projects in this sector actually land at with us. Your number depends on page count, functionality, and how much content support you need.
Solo attorney site
Six to ten pages, two or three practice areas, one or two bios, intake and scheduling. The right build for a solo or two-attorney office that still answers its own phone.
$3,500 to $7,000
Multi-attorney firm site
Eight or more bios, real depth in each practice area, second-language pages, migration off a vendor contract, and analytics that tell you which page produced the call.
$7,000 to $18,000
Ongoing care
Content updates, security, backups, and new bios as you hire. Local search work, meaning Google Business Profile, map pack, and a review pipeline, is quoted separately from about $500 a month.
$150 to $600 / month

FAQ
Law firms: common questions
Can you write our practice-area pages, or do we have to?
We draft them from a recorded interview with the attorney who actually handles that work, then you correct and approve every line. We will not publish an explanation of Minnesota law that a copywriter invented, and we will not put a result or a testimonial on the page without your sign-off on the wording.
Our website is with a legal directory vendor. Can we leave?
Usually, but check two things in the contract before you give notice: who holds the domain registration, and whether the page content is licensed to you or merely rented. Get the registrar login and a full export first. If the copy turns out to be licensed, we rewrite rather than migrate, which is generally the better outcome anyway.
Will the new site follow Minnesota's lawyer advertising rules?
We are a web studio, not your ethics counsel, so we cannot certify compliance and will not pretend otherwise. Your responsible attorney reviews the copy. What we do is build every disclaimer, results statement, and responsible-lawyer contact block as an editable field, and flag the language that commonly draws attention, such as guarantees and the word specialist.
We speak Somali and Spanish in the office. Does that belong on the site?
It is the most underused advantage in the Twin Cities legal market. Put the language on the bio card and in the page title, build a real landing page in that language rather than a machine translation, and route that number to the person who speaks it. The court provides an interpreter later. The first phone call does not.
What happens to the calls and forms that arrive at 9pm on a Saturday?
That is when a lot of criminal and injury calls come in, so we plan for it during the build. Click-to-call goes to whatever after-hours answering service you use, the form autoresponder states a real callback window instead of thanking people vaguely, and submissions land in your practice management inbox rather than a shared address nobody watches on weekends.
