People browse online reviews before purchasing a product or service, so why not leverage it for the legal field? And how? This blog will help you understand the psychological impact of client reviews on law firms and how you can take advantage of it with our legal services directory, TrustLegalTM.
Studies have shown that consumers trust online reviews as much as they trust personal recommendations from their friends. They spend a considerable amount of time reading reviews of previous customers—longer if the price of the product/service is higher.
Collective information about a product or service influences people and enables them to make informed decisions. Decisions made using this approach tend not to change.
For example, take Alex who finds himself in need of legal assistance after becoming involved in a complex situation. They explore the web and see three law firm websites that handle cases in the required legal area. One with positive client reviews, another with mixed reviews and one with no reviews at all. Let’s see what Alex thinks of all these websites.
The first website with glowing, positive reviews highlights the law firm's professionalism, expertise and successful case outcomes. Each positive story and commendation adds a layer of confidence for Alex.
The next was the site with a mix of positive and negative reviews. The negative reviews introduce a note of caution for Alex, prompting them to carefully weigh the pros and cons. They decide to search further.
The absence of testimonials on the third site leavesAlex in a state of uncertainty. Even though the firm's website showcases credentials, accolades and detailed services, the lack of client feedback provides no basis for making an informed decision..
Now answer this: Which law firm would Alex choose to handle their case? Yes, the first one without a doubt. Let’s say for some reason, the first firm can’t handle the case for Alex due to some time constraints. Now which law firm would Alex choose? The one with mixed reviews or the one with no reviews at all?
Research shows that having mixed reviews is comparatively better than having no reviews at all and even better than having very few good reviews. The negative reviews confronted with an explanation and honest apology will generate more trust forthe brand and the people behind it.
Reviews and testimonials are very powerful tools that can be leveraged with a review website like TrustLegalTM. Unlike simple review sites, TrustLegalTM not only lets clients leave reviews but also provides reports on how well a law firm performs in different areas. This attorney review site is like having a report card for law firms, showing things like success rates, average response times, and client satisfaction scores.
