The Opening Reversal Gets This Video Off to a Good Start
This video by The Dolan Law Firm immediately commands your attention because the client makes no bones that she does not like lawyers. This unexpected statement makes for an unusually refreshing client testimonial. Her attitude changes once she starts describing how Chris Dolan, her San Francisco-based accident lawyer, was able to help her in a car v. motorcycle case. She looks at the camera straight-on, and even goes so far to say that she never imagined that she would ever become friends with a lawyer.
So far so good. As a potential client searching for an attorney online, I would then expect to see her attorney on camera, either in a split screen or immediately following her comments to discuss the challenges and outcome of her case. Such an appearances would bolster his credibility.
But Chris Dolan does not appear in the video — a head scratcher.
In that same department, why does a law firm that spends so much time and effort to produce a quality testimonial allow the videographer to advertise itself extensively before the video starts and after the video finishes? Giving free advertising to the videographer distracts the viewer from your message. Tell the videographer to take a hike. If the videographer offers you a discount, list its Web address in the sidebar text, not in the video.
