Benefits of Million Dollar Trial Lawyers™
Million Dollar Trial Lawyers™ was started to provide a more striking and elegant logo as compared to a competitor’s logo; a more beautiful, impressive wall plaque; and to provide additional services such as a vastly improved and mobile responsive website with a lawyer directory providing a profile and all the benefits below at no extra charge.

We recommend that you display as many recognition badges as you can get. That’s why we offer several. I have 11 trust/recognition badges on my websites (3 from Million Dollar Trial Lawyers™ and 9 from other organizations).
Badges Improve Search Engine Optimization on Google
According to sitepronews.com, Google is looking for content that gets more clicks (which is common knowledge). The article further states in paragraph 1, “The takeaway here is that Google is telling its human raters to look for signs of these things, to look for certifications and awards – to rate trustworthy sites much higher.”
Interestingly, the Sitepronews article also states, in paragraph 5, “One of the most surprising things I found in Google’s Search Quality Evaluators was that Google is suggesting over and over to look at a company’s, or a person’s, reputation all over the web. ‘Go look at their BBB page, look for write-ups in other publications, look for any kind of indication of good standing in their community – and in their trade.’”
Badges Improve Quality Score for PPC
Quality Score is a score used by Google, Yahoo!, and Bing that affects both the rank and cost per click of online PPC ads. If your Quality Score is higher than your competitor’s score, your ad will rank higher than your competitor’s ad, and you will pay less per click than your competitor is paying.
Badges help to improve your Google Ads Quality Score because badges improve the conversion rate (see below), which is one of the factors affecting Quality Score.
Badges Improve Social Proof
Stacey E. Burke, P.C., a nationwide law firm marketing consulting practice for small to medium-sized law firms, advises attorneys to use:
- Case studies;
- Testimonials;
- Reviews;
- Trust icons; and
- Data on law firm websites.
Badges Improve Conversion
Displaying a badge on your website can increase conversions by a whopping 32%! says VWO, which makes A/B testing software for marketers.
By displaying only a safe buyer seal on a website, visitors were 7.6% more likely to make a purchase, according to a study by InternetRetailer.com.
Shopify illustrates the following 6 Bulletproof Ways to Improve Conversions which also apply to attorney websites:
- Add a Frequently Asked Questions Section
- Integrate Live Chat (For lawyers, I highly recommend Ngage Live Chat and use it on my 3 law firm websites)
- Display Product Videos
- Allow Customer Reviews
- Prominently Display Badges or Seals — “Any certifications or important characteristics of your product (such as safety, legitimacy, officiality) should be included on your product page. It’s easy to simply write these things into your product description, but it’s far more effective if you can make these stand out as badges.”
- Offer a Rock-Solid Money Back Guarantee
Benefits of displaying the Million Dollar Trial Lawyers™ badge and our other badges are obvious. Each of the badges creates credibility and confidence for potential clients, both those who know you and those who don’t.
The confidence earned is even recognized by well-known lawyer rating sites that utilize these awards when determining your rating. Avvo uses multiple attributes such as speaking engagements, attorney endorsements, and awards to reach a 10 rating.
If your rating is less than 10 on Avvo, adding the Million Dollar Trial Lawyers™ award will likely increase your rating. My rating increased from 8.5 to 8.8 after adding the Million Dollar Trial Lawyers™ award (after more work and more awards, I now have a 10 rating). Avvo, one of the most popular attorney rating sites, always shows up at the top of Google when someone searches your name, so it’s important that potential clients don’t see your profile with a 6.7 rating.

Where To Put Badges On Your Website
Make sure that your badges are displayed on every page of your law firm’s website. Some lawyers make the mistake of displaying their badges only on the homepage, and some attorneys display them only on an interior page. Display your badges in the footer or left or right column if your website has a column, so your badges are visible on every page of your website.
This image shows badges displayed in the left column of a law firm’s website so they are visible on every page.
This lawyer also prominently displays his badges, including the Billion Dollar Trial Lawyers™ badge, at the top of the homepage, just under his video, but they are only visible on the homepage. He even has a paragraph about the Billion Dollar Trial Lawyers™ and another paragraph about Avvo.

Registered attorneys have a directory profile listing in the Directory of Million Dollar Trial Lawyers™ including the following features:
- Directory profile listing advertising your law firm in each state where you’re licensed.
- Include your photo and the information you submit (no maximum size), or we will create your profile listing for you.

Reputation Manager — Request & Monitor Reviews ONLY $29 Per Month!
Tired of paying $200/month or more for just one location to BirdEye or another attorney review monitoring company, and they don’t even give you local SEO tools? Million Dollar Trial Lawyers™ members can get a full-featured reputation manager at a huge discount.
Online reviews are especially vital to personal injury advertising online. The easiest and best way to get online reviews is with software that automatically sends both an email and an SMS text message to your client requesting a review.
The problem is that companies like BirdEye, which provide software for lawyers to request and monitor reviews, charge a monthly fee that is so expensive that it’s almost as much money as licensing 1-800-HURT-911!
Request reviews by both email and SMS text messages. Monitor and respond to reviews on 80 review sites, including Google, and stream reviews you select to your website. You’ll also get (which BirdEye doesn’t give you) local SEO tools to track your law office rankings, run SEO audits, and gather insights to improve local search performance, all for only $29/month for your first office location and $20/month for each additional office location!

I’m an expert at practice management and negotiation. I became an expert negotiator from being in many businesses since high school involving substantial negotiation. In 11th grade, I was buying and selling coin-operated amusement games. In 12th grade, I started my own car business, which I operated until law school. During the summers in law school and after graduation, I went into my father’s wholesale diamond business. I eventually took over my father’s business and cut operating costs by 90%.
I have settled many personal injury cases for more money than other lawyers would get at trial. For instance, I settled a case for the entire $1 million policy without having to wait years for a trial for a client with neck surgery even though she had the same surgery prior to the accident and 3 months later had another accident hitting her head on the steering wheel. My friends said they thought the case was worth $250,000. I’ve been asked many times to give seminars, but now, you can have access to million-dollar tips.
