In 2020, she co-founded Z.A. Lawyers with her husband Mike Alder, where she continues to use her marketing skills and expertise to help attorneys thrive.

About Richard Jacobs
My name is Richard Jacobs, and I've discovered quite a bit about the plight of solo practitioners and small, 2-5 attorney firms like yours these past 12 years.
I've come to understand the unique challenges in marketing ethically and effectively that attorneys face because I have:
- Helped over 180 attorneys author their own practice area book and become the 'implied expert' in their practice area
- Helped hundreds of attorneys successfully navigate Google's search algorithm changes, growing their websites from 2 potential clients calling a month to 4+ calls per DAY for some clients.
- Interviewed and promoted over 507 attorneys nationwide, in practice areas such as:
- DUI / DWI
- Family Law
- Criminal Defense
- Bankruptcy
- Auto Accidents
- Social Security Disability
- Slip & Falls (Premises Liability)
- Real Estate
- Estate Planning / Probate
- Wage and Hour Claims
- Expungements / Post Conviction Relief
