Your Firm’s Reputation Matters. It Starts With Who You Hire.
Episode 216
Tuesday, 28 April, 2026
Reputational management and referral marketing in a crowded field are valuable commodities. But how are law firms and legal leaders building their business through reputational development? Guest David Craig is an experienced and recognized attorney specializing in trucking accidents and liability. He developed a reputation through legal acumen, public service, and as the author of the book “It’s Never Been Easier to Hire the Wrong Attorney.” But he also says a firm’s reputation can be defined by the people it hires. Craig is the managing partner and a founder of the Indiana personal injury firm Craig, Kelley, and Faultless LLC. He shares what he learned about reputational development over years of work. It all starts inside the firm, not the courthouse. You can’t say one thing but have anyone inside the firm doing another. Start with hiring. The people you hire represent your firm as much as you do. Hiring, monitoring performance, talking with clients, and online reviews all matter. Strong firms (and leaders!) take an interest in how every member of the team both performs and represents the firm’s bedrock principles. Clients don’t want to hire the wrong attorney, but sometimes they don’t know how to hire the right one. Building a reputation creates positive reviews, community support, and referrals. Hear how your firm – from top to bottom – can ensure a consistent positive client experience that turns into repeatable business. Everything you and your team do, starting with informational meetings and helping prospects feel welcome and appreciated, down to making sure clients remain comfortable and informed, builds your firm’s reputation.
