Background: The Modern Firm has been in business since 2000. We have worked with nearly 200 small law firms ranging in size from 1 to 20 attorneys. Our company is built to meet the specific needs of lawyers, especially those with limited online experience. We offer a full suite of services, including: website design, professional hosting, search engine marketing, law firm merchant accounts, and sophisticated programming for advanced client interaction. We are a single point of contact, reference, and education for our clients and their online needs.
Points of Difference: The Modern Firm is unique in its personalized approach, and stands out from other website design businesses in the following ways:
Focus on law firms: The Modern Firm was founded to serve attorneys and the legal community; nearly all of our clients are law firms. We are dedicated to, and have a thorough understanding of, law firm marketing, operation, and success.
Keeping it small: We only work with small law firms. We are flat-out passionate about helping small firms utilize technology and the web to be nimble and go head-to-head with substantially larger firms. Our intent is to see our products and services make a real and immediate impact on the small firm practice.
Always Custom: The Modern Firm websites are always customized to the exact needs of the client, even though it takes a little longer than slapping a name on a template. Our belief is that choosing a lawyer is a personal decision by the client, and that the law firm’s website should be an accurate reflection of the firm’s culture, image, philosophy, and message. That can only be done with a customized design.
Personal and Attentive Service: We take the time and possess the patience to get to know each of our clients. In fact, it’s not uncommon for Brendan to take clients out to lunch or a round of golf if he’s traveling or doing business in the area. For both development of a project, and technical support with online services, you’ll always talk to a person right away. Emergency support is available 24 hours a day.
In the Legal Community: The Modern Firm has worked with local bar associations, CLE associations, State Bars, and non-profit legal resource centers. Whether it’s providing services or speaking at a CLE, we enjoy giving back to the client base that has helped us succeed.
Professional Connections: We have relationships with dozens of professionals around the country that serve the needs of small law firms. From marketing experts to coaches and from time-management consultants to technology experts, if there is a need we can’t meet, we know an expert that can help. Many of them are regular contributors to our blog, The Modern Firm Life.
You Get Cookies!: Yes, you read that right, we send you cookies that you can really take a ‘byte’ out of. Making a great website for a law firm is a tough task and since fireworks don’t go off the instant your website launches, we figured cookies are a good way to have some fun and say "thank you." If you don’t get a website from us, you can still get bread and cookies from our friends over at Great Harvest Bread Co.

The Modern Firm did an outstanding job designing a website for my law firm. Customer service and satisfaction are clearly the company’s primary goals, and I was consistently impressed by the staff’s responsiveness to my requests and their strong attention to even the smallest details. If you’re looking for superior “big firm” level web design, but with “small firm” affordability and personal attention, The Modern Firm delivers.
Brendan and his team at The Modern Firm have been phenomenal in helping design and publish my law firm’s website and logo. I wanted a unique and progressive design to my site – Brendan and his team were able to take a vision in my head and make it a reality on the internet.
...even when we could not always be specific about what we wanted – for example, we wanted our green to not be “too green” – they gladly kept working with us until we got exactly what we were looking for... we are confident that when clients view our website, they see a professional design that reflects our firm.
