Attorney Email and Text Marketing: Nurture Sequences That Turn PI Leads Into Signed Cases

Short answer

Many personal injury leads don’t sign on the first call. A short, respectful sequence of texts and emails (acknowledgment, useful information, reminders, a clear next step) keeps your firm top of mind until they’re ready. Keep messages helpful, identify your firm, honor opt-outs, and make sure consent covers texting.

A sample 14-day sequence

Minute 0: text acknowledging the inquiry, with your name and direct line.

Hour 1: email with what to expect and how fees work.

Day 1: text checking in and offering times to talk.

Day 3: email: “What to do after a car accident” or “Reporting a work injury.”

Day 5: text with a short attorney video.

Day 7: email answering common concerns (cost, time, retaliation).

Day 14: final check-in with an easy way to reach you.

Principles

Every message identifies the firm.

Plain language, no pressure tactics.

One clear call to action.

Stop immediately on opt-out or once they sign.

Compliance

TCPA and state laws for texts: have consent, honor opt-outs.

CAN-SPAM for email: identify the sender and include an unsubscribe option.

Bar rules: follow-up messages can be advertising.
