Why firms look at alternatives
4LegalLeads has sold online legal leads since 2001 and covers many legal categories, with web leads and live calls, on a funded account with no contracts [1]. That breadth suits many firms. Firms that focus on injury and workers' comp sometimes want something different:
- A vendor that only does their practice areas
- A specific lead format, such as live transfers or CRM-ready web leads
- A consent certificate and a verified phone on every lead
- A written replacement policy agreed up front
