The starting point
The challenge.
- Industry
- Criminal defense law
- Project focus
- Growth, branding, website build
Christopher Combs began as a single-attorney practice handing out business cards in court rooms. He wanted to expand his practice, and he needed a well-maintained, optimized website that could compete with already-established St. Louis criminal law firms and draw in clients from the metro area.
Chris worked with other web design agencies over the course of his career, but his experiences were less than ideal. These firms outsourced the work, treated his practice as a low priority, and failed to deliver the growth results Chris expected for his law firm.
The work
The approach.
The planning stage
When Chris approached us, we worked with him to develop his goals both for his practice and his website. After that conversation, we got to work, designing a website that could deliver what he wanted.The web design and development stage
From there, we developed the typography, colors, and layout that would serve as Combs Waterkotte’s site branding. We also developed critical web pages and infrastructure to capture potential clients and connect them with Chris’s firm.The growth phase
As the firm grew, we implemented custom solutions to fit Chris’s evolving needs. Through API connections, we linked case information and staff workflows across MyCase and REJIS to help the firm organize intake and prioritize its lead volume.
The result
The difference.
- Attained 700% revenue growth over eight years
- Opened 6 New locations across Missouri and Illinois
- Hired Over 20 additional team members at the firm
