Short-form video for personal injury firms

Be the lawyer they already know before they ever search.

One short filming session a month becomes know-your-rights explainers and local videos, scripted, edited and posted for you, with advertising-rule disclaimers built in.

Say hello

Let me introduce myself

A few minutes on who I am, how I think about social media, and what actually makes me different.

The problem

Search ads are getting expensive

Firms are paying more for every click, and competing for the same moment of search. Recognition built beforehand changes that.

Every click costs more

US personal injury clicks often cost $70 to $250, and more in major metros. Search leads can average around $442 each.

People remember a face, not an ad

When someone is injured, they call the lawyer they already recognise from explaining their rights, not the third ad they scrolled past.

Your team is busy with cases

No one has time to script, film and edit, so the videos never get made.

Send your details and I'll review your firm's social presence against two local competitors, then send back the three things I would change first. Free, no obligation.

A little about me

The person behind the strategy

“The best time to earn someone's trust is before they need you.”

I got into social media by accident, then completely on purpose. One late-night rabbit hole and I found brands that had built real trust entirely through a screen. It never left me, so I learned it properly: the strategy, the psychology, the ads and the systems.

Everything I build starts with one question: who are we really talking to, and what would make them call you first? For a firm, that means plain-English explainers, real faces and no promises you can't keep.

I built this service specifically for independent personal injury firms. One short filming session a month from scripts I prepare, I handle the rest, and your firm approves every video before it's posted.

Based in Nigeria, working remotely across time zones with owner-led businesses on three continents.

What I do

Short-form video that makes your firm the first call

I script, edit, caption and post short videos on Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Facebook. It works alongside your search ads, building recognition so more people come to you before they search.

01

Know-your-rights explainers

Short, plain-English answers to the questions people are already asking.

02

Local safety and community

Content rooted in the roads, events and communities your firm serves.

03

Attorney personality and values

Who you are and why you do this work. People hire a person, not a logo.

04

After an accident, step by step

What to do at the scene, with insurers and in the weeks that follow.

05

Compliance built in

Required labels and disclaimers in every script, and your firm approves every video.

Compliance

Built for your jurisdiction's rules

No promised results, ever. Every script is reviewed by your firm before posting.

United States

State bar advertising rules: labels and disclaimers where required, no guaranteed outcomes, and past-results disclaimers.

United Kingdom

SRA rules: accurate content, no unsolicited approaches, and the referral-fee ban respected.

Canada

Provincial law society rules on lawyer advertising are followed in every script.

Australia

Professional conduct rules apply. Queensland restricts personal injury advertising, so this service isn't offered there.

Ireland, New Zealand & elsewhere

Solicitor advertising rules restrict how personal injury services can be promoted, particularly in Ireland. Content stays educational, and every script is reviewed before posting.
