The biggest challenge for law firms is getting through to their audience and winning their trust.
The reason? The customers of law firms or lawyers aren’t in the same mind frame as those looking to buy a regular product.
These are people who are stressed out, usually pressed for time and have sensitive matters at hand which make them skeptical of trusting anyone.
It also doesn’t help that for them, Law firms seem distant and unapproachable.
Video marketing for lawyers helps bridge that gap.
It offers a way for lawyers and law firms to show their trustworthiness and expertise with videos.
Using client testimonials, or legal explainer videos, they can showcase their dependability and present themselves as a reliable ally who's there for you 24/7, ready to lend an ear and a helping hand.
Videos let lawyers talk directly to people and show they care — making law firms feel more like a friend and less like just another legal service provider.

According to an article by FindLaw, 24% of prospective clients act within a day of realizing they have a legal issue.
They want a law firm that's fast and easy to trust.
That's where a good animated video can really help.
TextLawyer, for example, wanted to show that getting legal help could be as simple as sending a text.
So they worked with us at Broadcast2World to make an animated commercial video that would tell their story in a clear, engaging way.
Through the lens of animation, we plunged into a day-in-the-life tale of someone blindsided by a personal injury.
With each frame, TextLawyer's promise of easy, reliable legal representation came alive.
The animation's simple color palette and kinetic transitions acted as a narrative glue, keeping viewers riveted till the final reveal.
The video made it easy to see that with TextLawyer, help was just a text message away.
It is a short video, and it shows how quick and easy it is to get in touch with TextLawyer for help.
Sixty seconds is all it takes for a law firm to make an impression on their clients.
Wondering how?
We’ll let Legal Aide demonstrate that for you.
They wanted their video to speak to people looking for legal representation for their personal injury cases.
They understood how videos can help lawyers and law firms stand out from the crowd and make their presence known in the legal community.
So in collaboration with Yellow Lab Creative Studio, they came up with this intricately designed animated motion graphics video.
It uses abstract animations with powerful sound effects to portray the emotions that people go through when dealing with unforeseen circumstances.
Animations helped Legal Aide deliver a riveting message without relying on too many words and additional visual designs.
The animated video helped their message resonate with prospective clients and attracted them to their law firm for their personal injury cases.
Personal stories have the power to impact us on a more personal level.
But for the Law Offices of Adam J. Roa, it was more than that.
They reached out to us with one of their client stories with the desire to turn it into an animated testimonial video.
They knew well that testimonials are golden—they offer proof, build trust, and cut through doubts like nothing else.
But beyond just sharing a story, they chose animation for a crucial reason.
The animated testimonial video through colours and concepts perfectly captures the aftermath of losing a loved one and the need for legal and emotional support in such distressing times.
The character animations helped the viewers relive an actual client experience and feel the emotional turmoil on a deeper level.
It made the message personal, empathetic—something viewers could see themselves in.
By doing this, the Law Offices of Adam J. Roa didn't just share a testimonial; they shared a beacon of hope.
They showed that behind the law firm's doors lies not a cold, daunting place, but a helping hand ready to guide you through the storm.
That's the promise of their service, delivered through the art of animation.
Videos are great because they can show how a law firm can fix very specific problems.
When a law firm talks about these specific problems and shows they know how to solve them, people start to trust the firm more.
Let's look at LegalShield as an example.
They made a short character animation video with a company called Vidico.
The video was about helping landlords understand the rules for renting and how to handle it if they need to ask a tenant to leave.
At the end of the video, it told people to download LegalShield's app to get more help.
By focusing on one thing and showing they know their stuff, LegalShield made people trust them, and they did it in less than 25 seconds.
Clients often find themselves at a crossroads, trying to pick the right path without getting lost.
That's where videos come to the rescue, serving as a clear, concise guidepost.
For clients wading through their options, a straightforward video can cut through the clutter.
It lays out the law firm's offerings like a well-organized menu, with each service neatly described.
This visual clarity tackles decision fatigue, which often overwhelms clients when faced with too many choices.
BetterLegal understood this when they commissioned this animated explainer video.
The goal was simple: showcase their array of legal services without overwhelming their clients.
The video did just that—it was a visual treat that packed complex services into bite-sized, easily digestible explanations.
The simplicity of the language and the clarity of the visuals made their legal services seem less like a daunting decision and more like a smooth selection process.

According to Fit Small Business' branding statistics, having a unique visual identity makes a brand 80% more memorable.
And law firms aren’t exceptions to this.
In fact, having an easily recognizable yet unique visual identity is crucial for law firms.
It helps them differentiate themselves from their competitors and position themselves as an authority in the legal community.
Pellicer & Heredia decided to revamp their visual identity with this mixed media animation explainer video.
Their goal with this animated video was to establish a memorable brand perception that would attract prospective clients to their law firm.
Along with that, they also wanted their audience to associate their law firm with the values of transparency, commitment, and professionalism.
The animation used in this video ensures the visual effects are simpler and easy to follow but have a unique visual style that people associate with the law firm.
In a survey conducted by Customer Thermometer, 65% of consumers emotionally connected with brands that had a story behind them.
How is this important to law firms?
When law firms recount their story, they provide their prospective clients with the context behind their law firm’s areas of legal expertise and their experience in the legal profession.
This significantly helps in the decision-making process of clients looking for law firms to represent their legal cases.
It also portrays the law firm’s values and ethos in a more authentic manner, helping them win the trust of their clients.
But how do animated videos help in this?
Let Legal Super answer that for you.
With the help of Studio Showoff, they used this animated explainer video to recount how their law firm came to be.
It then seamlessly transitions into more details about their law firm.
Talking about their board members, their views on advertising campaigns, their law firm’s values and so much more.
By breaking down their message into text snippets throughout the video, Legal Super has ensured their audience can relate to their journey, and gain a better understanding of who the brand is, making them more likely to engage with the video.
Wyzowl’s 2023 State of Video Marketing Report found that video marketing helped brands achieve a 42% customer retention rate.
The reason videos work so well with customer retention is that they provide clarity in core messaging.
For law firms that rely on legal jargon to explain technical concepts to their clients, clarity is especially important.
Birketts, for instance, wanted their message to be as concise as possible.
Their goal was to encourage clarity among their audience without confusing them with unnecessary details.
Here’s how the good folks at Picturesmith helped the UK-based law firm achieve clarity using this animated legal explainer video.
The video goes over several details about Birketts as a law firm, talking about their partners and staff and their several offices all over England.
The video subtly segues into outlining the various benefits of choosing Birketts, explaining clearly how they fit into their client’s legal requirements.
By providing such clarity, Birketts was able to clear confusion and doubts among their clients and stay true to their tagline: “clear legal advice”.
