Attorney Bios: Lawyer Attorney Biography Writing

Be real with yourself… When was the last time you updated your biography? Is your latest listed publication from 2020? Are the highlighted practice areas no longer a focus? Is your education information taking up most of your narrative? These are signs it’s time for a refresh. Your biography needs upkeep, just like your website. PaperStreet offers attorney biography writing services that streamline the writing process to help you craft a compelling biography for you, or the entire firm. 

Bios Get High Traffic – They Deserve Some Love

There are several writers and designers at PaperStreet who would tell you that bio designs and writing are their favorite types of projects. We love to lift the curtain and take a look at the person behind the law degree. Biography writing is more than just touting your professional achievements. There is a marketing angle that must be considered.

Some law firms don’t need conversions from their website. These firms use their biographies as reputation engagement and verification for speaking engagements and publications that their attorneys do what they say they do and do it well. 

For our law firms, attorney biography pages are the most visited page on the website second only to the home page. They present an opportunity for the narrative to speak to prospective clients, and then convert them. 

Each situation is valid and common, but the approach we take would differ greatly. One of the benefits of working with PaperStreet on your attorney biographies is that we’re always considering the marketing angle. Whether we’re expecting visits from injured people, judges, or insurance adjusters, a biography refresh can help ensure your message is clear.

Attorney Biography Writing Service FAQs

What kind of questions do you ask in the interview?

We ask pointed questions about recent achievements, and also more philosophical questions to help us gauge personality, pain points, marketing opportunities and overall style. Some examples include, “How long have you been with the firm?” and “What is something you wish your clients understood about your work?”

How long is the interview?

An attorney biography interview is generally 30 minutes long. We conduct our interviews via a Zoom call and encourage cameras to be on.

Can you interview everyone at the firm?

Yes, we can interview everyone at the firm. In fact, we love these projects because it gives us change to be consistent in our style and formatting choices. Consistency from bio to bio (for example, listing years in parentheses vs. after a comma) helps reinforce your own firm branding and credibility.

What is the survey?

Our survey is a list of about 15 questions in a Google Form. We provide you with the link that can be shared with everyone involved in the project. Each attorney simply types in their answers and clicks “submit.” We can then use this information to help craft a compelling biography.

How do you schedule the interviews?

Scheduling is only a concern when we are working on very large projects. In these cases, we use Calendly so your team can choose a time and date that is most convenient for them. When you schedule the meeting, you receive an automatic calendar invite, which makes joining the interview easy and stress-free.
