The Legal Direct Mail Process
Attorney and Law Firm Marketing
For practice areas including criminal defense, bankruptcy and family law, direct mail remains one of the most effective ways that law firms can bring in new business.
Our campaigns are flexible, easily measurable, individualized, and cost-effective. We help you determine the focus of your direct mail campaign and then design eye-catching personalized letters for your outreach. The letters will carry your firm's message to prospective clients in an appealing, professional and tangible form that can help your firm stand out.
Mail gets attention. Although websites and digital marketing have become prevalent in the legal community, our direct mail campaigns continue to deliver excellent results and return on investment for attorneys. It is easy to understand why: most people look through their mail every day, and an attractive mail piece in their hand is much harder to ignore than text on a screen.
We reach your prospective clients. By focusing on the data and targeting the campaign, we ensure that your marketing dollars are being used to reach people that actually need your services in this moment. When done correctly, direct mail is a marketing tactic that nets almost immediate benefits, and it requires very little up-front setup time or expense to get started. Most firms begin receiving phone calls the first week their letters begin mailing.
Types of Law Firms We Help
From DUI cases to traffic, drug and sex crime cases, our data-driven solutions will help you reach the right people as soon as they need you. We mail for criminal cases in jurisdictions across the country every day.
As a solo practitioner, you take on many roles. You’re more than just a practicing attorney. You’re a business owner – and running a profitable business is no small feat. Neither is attracting the number of new cases that your practice requires to be profitable.
A traffic offense or speeding ticket can be more detrimental than the cost of the ticket. People will fight to prevent points on their license and increased insurance costs, making targeted traffic defense campaigns effective.
From bankruptcy, foreclosure, wage garnishment cases, and other civil litigation matters, we help provide bankruptcy lawyers with the right leads at the right time. Want to target certain debt ranges or plaintiffs? Not a problem.
In family law, you may need to reach individuals facing many different issues that involve their family, including child support, custody issues, divorce, wrongful accusations, and modification of court orders.

Mail Marketing Campaigns to Help You Find Your Future Clients
Timeliness
Key Dynamics has developed an incredibly efficient mailing process that often allows us to get your letters in the mail the same day an arrest or case record first becomes available. In fact, in some instances, our letters are the first notice someone receives that they are in need of legal services. This expediency is one of the keys to the success of our campaigns.
24/7 Call Answering Service
People in need of legal help expect an immediate answer, or they’ll move on to the next option. When your potential clients call, Key Dynamics guarantees someone is there to answer. Your campaign includes a built-in a 24-hour answering service at no additional cost. If you are unavailable, we accept the call and get relevant information and forward you an email instantly so that you can follow up with the lead once you are available.
Address Verification
Finding the right address for outreach can be a very challenging task by itself, and we have improved upon this process for over a decade. Key Dynamics has a dedicated staff of data administrators and developers that oversee our data and address verification processes. Our team goes to great lengths to ensure accuracy and minimize the rate of returns.
High Quality Materials
We prepare your mail using only premium materials. Unlike competitors, we do not cut corners. Each letter we send is prepared with crisp, high-resolution printing on the whitest heavy-weight paper. We even place a real stamp on each piece, Clients enjoy this premiere presentation of their campaigns, and their callers often mention that they chose to call because the mail piece was the best they received. Our dedication to quality reflects well on your firm and your own attention to detail.
A Marketing Investment
that Earns a High ROI
We will track and deliver results.
Every direct mail campaign is unique with respect to the local geography, targeted cases, and level of competition. For this reason, it is difficult to predict an exact response rate, but, on average, our clients receive a 5% response from their mail campaign. By direct mail standards, this rate is exceptionally high and typically yields a significant return on investment for the firms we work with. And remember, unlike PPC measuring click rates, these responses are phone calls from the people who need your services, which means you are much closer to gaining a new client.
We are able to keep these response rates high for our clients in large part because of our sole-proprietary data solutions and processes, but another key to this level of success is our exclusive agreements. At Key Dynamics, we only work with one attorney for each jurisdiction and case type combination. This means that we will never mail a letter to the same defendant on behalf of multiple attorneys.
