A solo attorney has no firm name to borrow credibility from, so a website for one has to build it from scratch.

For this banking lawyer of thirty years now opening an immigration practice, we made the career shift itself the argument for trust, and gave each of the four practice areas a full page answering what a prospective client actually asks—who this is for, what the stages are, how long it takes, what it costs.

The result carries its own search terms on every page, and did what the client came for: it establishes credibility and trust for a one-person firm—something he calls “not an easy thing to get right.”


HOMEPAGE
The homepage establishes the focus of the practice immediately, introduces the attorney, extends the information about the four core services, and offers an immediate invitation to schedule a free consultation.

ABOUT PAGE
The About page offers easy-to read sections elaborating on the attorney’s background, expertise and purpose: where he’s worked before and why he is moving into immigration law practice, what sets him apart, how he can help clients, and his personal commitment. Essentially: reasons for trust.

SERVICES PAGES
Each of the four core services pages outlines how the service might meet the user’s needs, some helpful information about the process, some practical information that will help anyone, and a path to proceed with a free consultation. Essentially: clarification so that users know what to expect.

In sum: a credibility-first website for a solo immigration attorney with four practice-area pages that answer a prospective client’s questions before the first phone call.

I came to Hamiltro Website Design needing a website that would establish credibility and trust for my small (1-person) law firm — not an easy thing to get right. Rohesia exceeded my expectations at every stage. Rather than handing me a template, she took the time to understand my practice and clients, and how I wanted to be perceived, then built a fully custom site around that. Rohesia helped write the copy, sourced and selected the imagery, and handled the design and development — essentially managing the entire project so I didn't have to juggle multiple vendors. The end result is clean, fast-loading, and professional. Throughout the process Rohesia was responsive, patient with my revisions, and clearly invested in getting it right rather than just getting it done. I highly recommend Hamiltro to any firm looking to upgrade its online presence.
