How to Leverage Client Testimonials on Your Website

Your clients are your best marketers. What they say about you carries more weight than anything you could say about yourself. That’s why client testimonials aren’t just nice to have, but are a strategic asset that can elevate your law firm’s credibility and conversion rate.

Here’s how to put them to work on your website.

1. Be Strategic About Placement

Don’t hide your client testimonials on a separate “Reviews” page that no one visits. Instead, feature them:

• On your homepage for immediate impact

• On practice area pages, tailored to the service discussed

• Near contact forms or calls-to-action to reinforce trust

2. Choose Testimonials That Tell a Story

The best testimonials aren’t just “They were great!” Instead, feature short, specific narratives that describe:

• The problem the client faced

• What your firm did

• How it made a difference

  
  

These mini-case studies are powerful because they show results, not just rave reviews.

3. Use Real Names (When You Can)

Anonymous testimonials are better than none, but quotes with real first names, initials, or even headshots add authenticity (with permission, of course).

If confidentiality is a concern, say so:

“This client’s identity has been withheld due to the sensitive nature of the case, but their results speak volumes.”

4. Keep It Fresh

Rotate in new testimonials regularly. Prospective clients want to know you’re still doing great work recently. Consider adding a system for requesting feedback after a case resolves.

5. Make It Visual

Break up the testimonial text with design elements:

• Use stylized quote boxes

• Add video testimonials when available

• Include photos (team, clients, or even symbolic visuals) to draw the eye

Don’t just bury quotes in body copy. Feature them prominently and beautifully.

6. Connect Testimonials to Calls-to-Action

Pair every glowing testimonial with an easy next step:

“Ready to see how we can help you? Schedule a consultation today.”

Let your happy clients nudge future ones across the finish line.

7. Use Testimonials to Reinforce Your Brand

Whether your firm prides itself on compassion, tenacity, responsiveness, or results, choose testimonials that echo those values. Let your clients do the branding for you.

A modern, well-designed website isn’t complete without the voices of the people you’ve helped. If your site isn’t showing off the great work you do, through the words of those you’ve done it for, you’re leaving trust (and business) on the table.
