Grow My Practice is a monthly marketing and growth plan by Pioneerly that builds a complete case acquisition system around the cases and matters your New York firm wants more of.

It covers

  1. Digital marketing Campaigns for your practice areas in the boroughs, counties, and cities you serve, through Google Search and Maps, AI search, Local Services Ads, Google Ads, referral partners, and more.
  2. Intake optimization Lead management, follow-up and reactivation campaigns, lead intelligence that helps your intake team turn more inquiries into consultations, and technology support, including AI.
  3. Growth advisory Market and competitor intelligence to inform your growth decisions, guidance on allocating your marketing budget, and positioning to attract the cases you want.

The entire marketing playbook is built just for your firm by your dedicated Growth Counsel, an experienced legal marketing and growth operator who knows how New York firms grow, coordinates all work for your firm, and is accountable for results.

We measure performance by signed cases by market, cost per signed case, and consultation-to-retainer rate, not vanity metrics like views or clicks.

Go with a legal marketing partner that knows New York and how people search for lawyers here.

Pioneerly is nothing like the traditional marketing agencies you've known before. We breathe every market we cover for our clients. From New York City and Long Island to the rest of the state, our unique knowledge shapes every marketing campaign we run for a New York law firm.

  1. We track New York's legal market around the clock, from Buffalo to New York City.

    Our proprietary market intelligence tracks lead costs, search demand, rankings, reviews, and your competitors' moves across every county in New York, spotting growth opportunities before the firms paying for subway ads do.

    How it works Your dedicated Growth Counsel puts that intelligence to work every month: where to spend, where to pull back, and which emerging opportunity in your market to take before another firm does.

    Pioneerly market intelligence, New York Live
    • Buffalo · Lower competition
    • Syracuse · Expansion opportunity
    • Long Island · New client concerns emerging
    • The Bronx · Opportunity to bid for more keywords
    • Manhattan · Competing firm launches a new service
    • Queens · Competitor drops in Maps
    • Brooklyn · Negative competitor sentiment
    • Staten Island · Local searches underserved
    • 62New York counties monitored continuously, from Erie to Suffolk
    • 5boroughs tracked block by block: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island
    • 24/7demand, cost, and competition signals
  2. New York has the demand, and more than twice as many lawyers per resident as the country as a whole.

    Most of those lawyers work in New York City. The number of firms has fallen 8% in five years, while the number of attorneys has risen 3%. That means fewer, larger firms competing for the same clients, making it harder for your firm to stand out against competitors with bigger marketing budgets.

    What it means for your firm Your marketing budget needs to go where it can win you the right cases. We identify the searches, locations, and referral opportunities worth pursuing, then focus your campaigns there.

  3. New Yorkers don't all choose a lawyer the same way. Your marketing should reflect that.

    An injury client hires the same day, from a phone. A divorce client spends weeks reading reviews, often late at night. In New York City, the person searching for a criminal defense lawyer at 1 a.m. is usually a relative.Different needs, different timelines. But across practice areas, most clients now compare firms through search, Maps, reviews, and AI answers before calling. Your firm needs to earn their attention there, however many subway cars the biggest firms have bought ads on.

    How we handle it We build your campaigns around how your prospective clients search: where they look, when they look, the language they use, and the questions they need answered. That puts your firm in front of them with a relevant message when they're ready to hire.

    From first search to signed retainer, by practice area
    • Criminal defenseHoursStarts with Google Search, Maps, and Local Services Ads, often on someone else's behalf.
    • Personal injurySame dayStarts with Google Maps, Local Services Ads, and AI answers, searching from a phone.
    • ImmigrationDays to weeksStarts with community referrals, searches in their own language, Google, and AI answers.
    • Employment1 to 3 weeksStarts with AI answers and search, then checks reviews and published case results.
    • Family law2 to 6 weeksStarts with reviews, Google Search, and AI answers, often at night.
    • Estate planningWeeks, after a life eventStarts with referrals from advisors, search, and webinars. Probate searches begin within days.
  4. In New York City people search by borough and neighborhood, on Long Island by town, and the Google map pack changes every few blocks.

    By default, a firm on Steinway Street appears in Astoria's map pack but disappears two miles away in Long Island City, while a Manhattan office doesn't show up in Brooklyn at all. We build your visibility across the areas you serve, wherever your head office is. Reaching the right clients also means speaking their language. Across New York City, many people search in Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Bengali, Haitian Creole, or Korean. Our multilingual campaigns reach them in the language they use, at the moment they need a lawyer.

    Before
    With Pioneerly
    The same search for a car accident lawyer, as Google Maps answers it from three neighborhoods within two miles of each other, before and after one Google Business Profile per office and pages for each place the firm serves.
  5. New York has 62 counties, and we build your marketing for each one your cases are filed in.

    A divorce is filed in the Supreme Court of the county where the couple lives. Probate goes to that county's Surrogate's Court. An injury case in Brooklyn and one in Westchester go to different appeals courts, and an immigration client's hearing is at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan. The county changes what a case is worth, how long it takes, and the questions a client types into Google at midnight.

    How we handle it We tailor your targeting, messaging, and budget to the cases you want, local demand, and the competition in each county you serve, so your marketing brings in more inquiries worth pursuing.

  6. New York rewrote its attorney advertising rules in 2026, and your competitors will advertise more because of it.

    The Appellate Division adopted the ABA model for Rules 7.1 and 7.3. The 30-day pause on injury solicitation is gone, the "Attorney Advertising" label is no longer required on every communication, and Rule 7.4 is gone, with specialization claims now under Rule 7.1(c). Firms that held their marketing back under the old rules will spend more, and sooner.

    How we handle it Every ad, page, and review request runs under the new rules, and your ethics counsel sees anything new before it goes live. The details are in the compliance section below.

    What changed June 1, 2026 Adopted by all four departments of the Appellate Division
    • The 30-day pause on personal injury solicitationDropped
    • "Attorney Advertising" on every communicationDropped
    • Rule 7.4 on specialization claimsNow in Rule 7.1(c)
    • Ads must still be truthful and must not misleadStill the rule

New York attorneys know what their clients are looking for. We listen.

  • Today, a potential client may research five firms before calling one. They read reviews, study case results, watch videos, and compare the backgrounds of the lawyers.

Your best clients know why they chose you. A prospective client comparing five firms doesn't have that experience yet. Our job is to make the reasons clear: your experience with their problem, the way you work, and the attention they can expect. Then help your team deliver on that promise from the first inquiry.

Grow My Practice - Marketing Plan for New York Law Firms

What’s included in your plan

Who runs your marketing and growth

  • A dedicated Growth Counsel with deep expertise in the New York market, leading your strategy and owning your results
  • Direct access to your Growth Counsel by phone, email, Slack, or WhatsApp, and in person at our Manhattan office or yours
  • A senior legal marketing team behind them, reshaped each month around your biggest growth opportunities
  • Budget guidance that weighs your spend against expected fees, attorney availability, and the cases and matters you want more of

Getting found

  • SEO for the cases and matters you want more of, from personal injury and criminal defense to divorce, immigration, and estate planning, across the five boroughs, Long Island, and upstate
  • AI search optimization (AEO/GEO), so ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude recommend your firm when someone asks who to call in New York
  • One Google Business Profile per office, optimized for its borough or town, plus a page for every market in your seat, so your firm ranks on Google Maps where your cases are filed
  • Google Ads and Local Services Ads by county, with Manhattan budgets held to the case types that carry its click prices, invalid leads disputed for credit, and conversion tracking tied to signed cases and fee revenue
  • Paid social on Meta, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Reddit
  • Campaigns in a second language, when your firm wants them

Getting chosen

  • Guides, articles, and short videos that answer what New Yorkers ask before they call a lawyer
  • Webinars and events, fully produced, for prospective clients and referral partners
  • Email and newsletters that keep your firm in mind while someone takes the time they need before hiring an attorney
  • Client reviews asked for at the right moment, plus replies that keep every client’s matter confidential
  • An attorney referral program across our New York network, structured the way New York’s rule on fee division between lawyers allows, plus referral programs with the professionals your clients already trust
  • Attorney recognition: New York practice awards, media commentary when your area of law is in the news, and speaking slots at New York bar and CLE events

Getting booked

  • Landing pages for each case type and market, from Brooklyn to Buffalo, built to turn visitors into consultations
  • The channels your clients already use, alongside the phone number: text, chat, and a short form
  • Every inquiry captured and screened for case type, location, and urgency, then routed: warm ones straight to your intake team, the rest into follow-up
  • Consultations booked straight onto your attorneys’ calendars, with reminders that cut no-shows
  • Missed calls recovered before the caller moves on to the next firm
  • Old and cold inquiries won back once they’re ready to move forward

Measurement, strategy & compliance

  • An executive dashboard that tracks every inquiry from first click to signed case and fee revenue, by case type and market
  • Plain monthly reporting: signed cases, cost per signed case, consultation-to-retainer rate, and return on spend
  • Pioneerly’s proprietary market intelligence: live demand, cost, and competition data for all 62 New York counties and the five boroughs
  • Your highest-value case types and ideal clients defined, with positioning that sets your firm apart from the firms you compete with in New York
  • Your marketing stack chosen, set up, and managed for you
  • Every ad and page reviewed under New York’s 2026 advertising rules, the ABA Model Rules, and federal advertising law

Your first 30 days with Pioneerly

  1. Within a day, your dedicated Growth Counsel is assigned to lead your firm’s growth and become your direct point of contact through phone, Slack, WhatsApp, and email. Your kickoff happens at your office, at ours on Fifth Avenue, or on a call.

  2. We audit your case mix and revenue by case type, where last year’s cases came from by borough, county, or town, response times, consultation show rates, the Google Business Profile and reviews of each office, and the size of your lead and past-client lists. We find what can already be tied to signed cases and where inquiries are being lost.

  3. We agree on the cases and matters you want more of and the markets you want them from, from Manhattan to Long Island and upstate, and the seat you want held, and we agree on the cost per signed case that makes sense for your firm. That becomes the scoreboard for every decision.

  4. We set up your New York assets: a Google Business Profile per office, market pages, ad accounts, and call tracking, each reviewed under the advertising rules. Calls, forms, chats, and bookings connect to your signed-case data in one dashboard, and we fix what’s costing you cases today: missed calls, inquiries answered the next day, and more.

  5. We start with the work most likely to sign new cases fast. That usually means campaigns for your highest-intent case type in the market where your firm is already strongest, lead reactivation campaigns, and your first introductions to referring attorneys in our New York network.

  6. You see the first results in the numbers partners care about: consultations booked, signed cases, cost per signed case, and revenue by source and market. Your Growth Counsel uses the data to move budget and effort toward what’s working.

The practice areas we serve in New York

We keep your marketing compliant with New York’s attorney advertising rules, as amended in 2026

The 30-day pause on injury solicitation is gone

Campaigns for injury and wrongful death cases run on your timeline, and every message is still tested against the false-or-misleading standard before it goes out.

“Attorney Advertising” is off most communications

We keep the label where a reader could take a message for something other than an ad, and drop it where the amended rule allows, which gives your social and short-form ads their characters back.

Rule 7.4 is gone, and specialization lives in Rule 7.1(c)

Pages and ads say “focuses on” or “practice limited to” unless the attorney holds an accredited certification, and every concentration claim is backed by your firm’s actual caseload.

The prior-results disclaimer is optional now

Result pages keep the “prior results” line as the safe practice, and testimonials run with the client’s written permission for their name, image, and likeness.

Every communication names the lawyer or firm behind it

Ads, landing pages, and profiles carry your firm’s name and a phone number or office address, in every market from Manhattan to Rochester.

Rule 7.5 on firm names and Rule 7.2 on paid referrals stay

Local Services Ads, directories, and ads run as advertising, referral programs follow the fee-division rule, and your firm’s name appears as registered.

Grow My Practice turns
a managing partner’s nights like these...

  • Monday, 11:47 PM

    The firm’s revenue is too unpredictable from month to month.

  • Tuesday, 12:22 AM

    We’re so much better than those guys. Yet they show up first everywhere.

  • Wednesday, 1:05 AM

    I hate that we’re taking on these weak-fit cases.

  • Thursday, 11:31 PM

    What is the agency doing all day? The reports are always positive, but I still can’t track what we’re actually getting out of it.

  • Friday, 12:48 AM

    Too much of the firm’s revenue still depends on my reputation, my referrals, and me personally bringing in business.

  • Saturday, 1:36 AM

    I want the firm to be the obvious choice, not just one of the firms people know.

  • Sunday, 12:14 AM

    I need to get my time back without everything falling apart.

...into days like these

  • Monday, 8:12 AM

    You open the executive dashboard: signed cases, cost per case, pipeline ahead. Next month is a number, not a feeling.

  • Tuesday, 8:26 AM

    Your Growth Counsel messaged first. They have a smart idea for getting ahead of the firm down the street that’s been showing up everywhere lately.

  • Wednesday, 8:47 AM

    Three consultations booked overnight, two in Queens and one in White Plains, and the cases look like a great fit. Nobody needed you to make that happen.

  • Thursday, 9:03 AM

    Every dollar you spend on growth traces back to a case. You see it yourself, over coffee, in four minutes.

  • Friday, 9:21 AM

    For the first time in a long time, the firm has a stable growth system you can trust to keep improving without you being involved in everything.

  • Saturday, 9:40 AM

    You can feel it everywhere you go, from the courthouse steps to a dinner in Tribeca: people know the firm, respect it, and look up to what you’ve built.

  • Sunday, 10:05 AM

    The Monday partner meeting is tomorrow. Marketing takes ninety seconds because the dashboard has already answered the questions.

Firms on Grow My Practice grow their revenue 34% faster than their direct competitors, on average.
Firm owners get their time back and can focus on what matters most.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Our head office is at 276 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, with additional offices in Miami and Austin. Piotr Szalkiewicz and Matt Sarson founded Pioneerly in 2026 and chose New York as its home. We work with law firms across the country.

Yes. We work with firms across New York State, including Long Island, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, the Capital Region, Central New York, Rochester and the Finger Lakes, Buffalo and Western New York, the Southern Tier, and the North Country.

We build campaigns for each market you serve. An injury firm in Buffalo competes with different firms, for different searches, and at different advertising costs than one in Manhattan. Your strategy and budget should reflect that.

We work with personal injury, family law, immigration, criminal defense, estate planning and probate, mass tort, employment law, and civil litigation firms, among others. We build campaigns around the cases and matters you want, with market exclusivity for your practice area.

Explore our approach to personal injury marketing, family law marketing, immigration law marketing, estate planning marketing, and mass tort marketing.

You could start signing new cases within the first few weeks, depending on your starting point. Local Services Ads, Google Ads, and improvements to call handling and follow-up tend to generate results first. Google Maps visibility, SEO, and referral programs take a few months to build.

If you don’t see a positive return on your spend within 90 days, we keep working at no charge until you do.

Effective June 1, 2026, the Appellate Division amended Rules 7.1 and 7.3 based on the ABA model. The changes removed the 30-day waiting period for personal injury and wrongful death solicitation, the general requirement to label communications “Attorney Advertising,” and the prior-results disclaimer requirement. Specialization claims moved from Rule 7.4 to Rule 7.1(c).

Advertising still must be truthful and must not mislead, and every communication must identify a responsible lawyer or firm. See how we keep your marketing compliant under the updated rules.

Yes. We build campaigns in these languages when your firm has attorneys or staff who can respond to inquiries in the same language.

We tailor the campaigns to the communities you serve, whether that’s Spanish-speaking clients in the Bronx or Chinese-speaking clients in Flushing, Queens, so prospective clients can find your firm and speak with someone who understands them.
