Case study · Thiessen Law Firm · Houston, TX

How we made Thiessen the most visible criminal defense firm in Houston

Mark Thiessen of Thiessen Law Firm is a Triple Board Certified attorney with an ACS-CHAL Lawyer-Scientist designation, one of the most credentialed criminal attorneys in the country. The expertise was already there. We built the digital presence to match it.

Not one channel. Not a single campaign. A full-stack system where every click, website, SEO, paid ads, and content, is built to compound. When a prospect sees his content, Googles his name, lands on his site, and calls, every step of their journey was designed and measured by us.

Paid Ads & Organic

Not three vendors pointing fingers at each other. One team that owns the whole system and can show you exactly where every lead came from.

That's the Baal & Spots integrated approach.

Are we a good fit for you?

Well, to be honest, we don't know yet. We're selective (because we want both of us to succeed), and it's important to us that you are the right kind of firm partner. Here's what we look for:
YOU'RE MAKING $3M+ ANNUALLY Established law firms with proven client demand ready to scale client acquisition strategically.
YOU WANT INTEGRATED MARKETING, NOT SCATTERED TACTICS You understand marketing works best when every channel amplifies the others.
YOU HAVE PATIENCE FOR SUSTAINABLE GROWTH You're willing to invest 6–12 months for lasting results, not overnight miracles.
YOU'RE A LAW FIRM WITH MULTIPLE PRACTICE AREAS OR SPECIALIZATIONS Personal injury, criminal defense, family law, business law, estate planning, immigration, employment law, etc.
YOU WANT A STRATEGIC PARTNER, NOT A VENDOR You want marketing partners who become an extension of your practice leadership team and understand legal practice economics.
YOU VALUE SENIOR-LEVEL EXPERTISE Direct access to senior legal marketing strategists with 10+ years in legal marketing, not junior staff learning on your dime.
YOU CAN INVEST $25K+/MONTH IN MARKETING You understand that quality integrated legal marketing requires proper investment to compete effectively in today's market.
🔴 WE'RE NOT A GOOD FIT IF:
You're looking for quick fixes or overnight results
You want the cheapest option available
You prefer working with junior staff or account coordinators
You're not ready to invest properly in integrated marketing
You just want someone to "run ads" without strategy
Your practice generates under $3M annually (we specialize in established practices with proven demand)

Here's My Promise to 7-Figure Law Firms Tired of Vendor Chaos:

If your firm is doing $3M+ in revenue but your marketing feels fragmented across multiple vendors, here's what's probably happening:
  • You're juggling separate agencies for website, SEO, paid ads, and social media and none of them coordinate
  • You're spending six figures on marketing but can't clearly attribute it to case generation
  • Your marketing channels operate in silos — SEO doesn't talk to paid ads, your website redesign tanked your rankings
  • Potential clients can't easily find your practice areas, attorney bios, or contact information
  • Your agency relationship feels transactional, you're an account number, not a strategic partner
Here's what most legal marketing agencies get wrong:

The truth about legal marketing is that most agencies are playing checkers while the game is chess. They sell you point solutions, "just SEO," "just paid ads," "just social media," or "just a website refresh" without understanding that client acquisition is an integrated system where your website, SEO, content, social media, and paid advertising all need to work together as one.

Your website speed affects your Google rankings. Your user experience determines conversion rates. Your content supports both organic and paid performance.

When vendors operate in silos, the whole system underperforms and you lose cases to competitors. And there's never been MORE opportunity for law firms to dominate their local markets with integrated marketing strategies… but who you choose to partner with matters.

Why Baal & Spots is different:

You need a partner who actually understands how clients make decisions, compliance with legal advertising rules, and can manage everything as one integrated system.

We're working with established legal practices ($3M+ revenue) across the country who are absolutely crushing it right now.

With 10+ years in legal marketing, millions in client revenue generated, and practice relationships averaging 6+ years (not 6 months), we've developed this into an exact science where we become an extension of your practice and deliver results that actually move the needle.

Here's what we'll show you in your complimentary 360° Marketing Review:
  • Your actual website speed scores (and how they compare to competitors)
  • Where you rank (or don't rank) for high-value procedure searches in your market
  • Why potential clients are leaving your site without calling or booking
  • The specific technical and UX fixes that will increase calls
  • What an optimized website and SEO system would deliver for your practice
No pressure. No vendor games.

If after reviewing your results, you don't see us as the right strategic partner, we'll part ways amicably. We're selective about who we work with because long-term partnerships require mutual fit.

But if you want to see exactly where your digital presence is underperforming and how to fix it, click below to request your review.

Maher El Aridi
Maher El AridiCEO & Co-Founder, Baal & Spots
Why we can make this promise:

We only partner with your law firm if we see clear growth opportunity and feel confident that we can deliver. Our low client ratios mean we're selective — if we can't see a path to meaningful case volume increase, we'll tell you upfront.

When we commit, we go all in. Our average legal client stays 6+ years because we operate as part of your firm's strategy, not as an outside vendor you manage.

This isn't a typical agency relationship. We take ownership of results — good or bad. If campaigns underperform, we fix them. If rankings drop, we're already on it. You get senior strategists who understand legal marketing, not account coordinators reading from a script.

If you want a marketing partner who's as invested in winning as you are, request your review below.

What keeps legal clients for 6+ years while other agencies churn in 6 months

Most legal marketing agencies fail because they:
Don't understand what makes successful cases, the realities of running a firm
Only optimize for vanity metrics instead of qualified case inquiries
Assign junior coordinators after the sales pitch — senior strategists disappear
Work in silos — SEO team doesn't talk to website team, who doesn't talk to paid ads team
Can't help when rankings drop or conversions tank (they only "do one thing")
Treat you like a customer, not a strategic partner
Our law firm clients stay because:
We speak your language: We understand compliance, client acquisition costs, case profitability, and seasonal demand patterns
We optimize for revenue, not vanity: Your success = qualified case inquiries and retained clients
Senior strategists manage your account: You work directly with experienced legal marketing strategists
Integrated accountability: Website, SEO, paid ads, social media, brand, analytics — we own the entire system and fix what breaks
24-hour response guarantee: Urgent issues can't wait 5 business days for callbacks
We grow with your firm: Expanding practice areas, opening new offices, entering new markets. We scale your client acquisition system with you

How it works

When it comes to scaling your digital marketing efforts, not all agencies are up to the challenge. At Baal & Spots, we combine boutique service and sustainable results for mid- to large-size businesses, and have a track record of long, fruitful relationships.

We go beyond clicks and impressions, providing you with strategic insights, high-touch account management, and the dedication you'd expect from a partner invested in your long-term success.

FAQs

How much does it cost to work with Baal & Spots for legal marketing?

Our investment varies based on your firm size, goals, and which services you need integrated. For 7-figure firms, expect a monthly investment that reflects the senior-level expertise and comprehensive approach you're getting. We're not the cheapest option — we're the strategic partnership option. During your Free Marketing Review, we'll provide transparent pricing based on your specific needs.

How long before we see results from your integrated approach?

While some improvements happen quickly (like website optimization and paid ad refinements), our integrated methodology is designed for sustainable growth over 6–12 months. SEO and content strategies take time to build momentum, but when they do, the results compound. Quick fixes don't create the lasting competitive advantages our clients experience — that's why our relationships typically last 6 years or more.

What if our industry is highly regulated or has unique compliance requirements?

We specialize in regulated industries like Healthcare, Legal, and Financial Services specifically because we understand compliance challenges. Our team stays current on state bar advertising rules and ethics requirements. We've helped law firms navigate advertising restrictions while still achieving aggressive growth. We ensure all marketing materials comply with your state bar's advertising regulations.

How involved do we need to be in the day-to-day marketing execution?

Minimal. That's the point of having a strategic partner become an extension of your team. You'll have monthly strategy sessions, weekly progress updates, and 24-hour response access when needed, but we handle the execution. Your main job is providing feedback on strategic direction and sharing insights about your business goals. No micromanaging required.

I've been burnt before and wasted money. Why are you different?

Usually, agencies hide behind excuses like "it's the website/offer/landing page/algorithm" and conveniently don't have the skills to actually help you fix it. We do. When we audit your marketing ecosystem, we're not just identifying problems, we're providing solutions across SEO, content, paid media, and website optimization. That's why our client relationships average 6+ years instead of 6 months.

What if we want to add new locations or service lines in the future?

That's exactly the kind of growth our integrated approach supports. We've helped practices:

  • Expand to new locations: Clone successful client acquisition systems to new markets
  • Launch new practice areas: Build awareness and demand for new specializations (like we did with Thiessen Law Firm's personal injury expansion)
  • Enter new markets: Establish authority in competitive markets when expanding geographically

Because we manage your entire website, SEO, and client acquisition ecosystem (not just "one thing"), we can scale your system as your practice grows.
