Tips for Displaying Legal Reviews Effectively

• Place reviews near your consultation call-to-action: Positioning client reviews close to a “Book a Free Consultation” button increases the chance that a visitor will take action after reading positive feedback.
• Feature practice area specific reviews: If your firm covers multiple areas such as family law, criminal defence, or personal injury, consider creating separate widgets filtered by practice area and adding them to the relevant service pages.
• Keep reviews current: Re-import your Avvo reviews periodically so that recent client feedback is always reflected on your site, showing visitors that your practice is active and trusted.
