Law firm websites, built by a practicing attorney.
I’m Jack Zaremba — a Will County trial attorney who has been building websites since 2000. I ran my own firm’s site for over a decade, spent two years with an agency at the helm, then brought it back in-house and rebuilt it myself. Now I build for other law firms and professional practices that have outgrown their 2012 website.
Your website was fine in 2014. It’s costing you clients in 2026.
Most law firm websites I audit share the same problems: pages with under 300 words competing against competitors publishing 1,500. No meta descriptions, so Google writes your sales pitch for you. A mobile experience that takes seven seconds to load when Google’s threshold is two and a half. Twelve reviews on a Google Business Profile whose primary photo is the parking lot.
None of this is visible from your desk. All of it is visible to every potential client who searches your name — and to the referral who looked you up before calling.
Four ways firms end up here
The full rebuild
Your site is 10+ years old and the vendor who built it has been coasting. I rebuild it on a modern WordPress stack — every page, every URL, every ranking preserved — and it launches without a minute of downtime.
The vendor escape
Your current provider controls your domain, your hosting, your analytics — maybe even your Google Business Profile. I’ve navigated hostile handoffs before. You leave with everything that’s yours.
Local search visibility
You’re a 4.8-star firm nobody can find. Technical SEO, content depth, schema markup, and Google Business Profile strategy — built to compete for the searches your next client is actually typing.
Ongoing care
Sites decay. Plugins age, rankings drift, performance erodes. A monthly engagement keeps the machine tuned — and you get an attorney’s judgment on every content decision, not a ticket queue.
Why hire a lawyer to build your website?
Because I’ve done both jobs — for a long time. I’ve been building websites since 2000, and I built and ran my own firm’s site myself from 2009. In 2023 I did what most firms do: I handed it to a legal marketing agency so I could focus on my cases. Two and a half years later I brought it back in-house, rebuilt it from the ground up, and documented every lesson from the entire experience — fifty-one of them — into a repeatable process. I’m one of the few people who has been the do-it-yourself firm, the agency’s client, and the builder, on the same website.
I also know things your web vendor doesn’t. What bar advertising rules allow. Why an AI-generated attorney headshot is a compliance problem, not a convenience. What a potential client in a crisis actually needs from your contact page. And what it means to protect your practice’s reputation, because I protect mine on the same terms.
The work
Zaremba Law Office
A site I ran myself for 14 years, handed to an agency for two, and took back. Full migration: 748 URLs preserved, mobile performance from 58 to 95+, zero downtime at cutover. (Yes — my own firm. It’s been my proving ground since 2009.)
Illinois Reinstatement Lawyers
A focused Drupal 11 build for a niche practice area — proof the process isn’t a one-platform trick.
How an engagement runs
Audit
A full technical and competitive audit of your current site: every page, every ranking, every gap. You get the findings whether or not you hire me.
Plan
A fixed scope, a URL-by-URL migration map, and a timeline. No open-ended retainers for undefined work.
Build
Your current site stays live while the new one is built on a private staging URL you can review from any device.
Launch
DNS cutover measured in seconds, not days. Rankings preserved, redirects mapped, nothing lost.
Find out what your website is actually doing.
The audit is free, specific, and yours to keep. If your site is fine, I’ll tell you that too.
