Learn what your target audience would like to read

Think of the ways you could help your potential clients this holiday season. If you are a personal injury lawyer, you could advise people on safe driving, as they visit their friends and relatives.

Happy news results in more retweets

Similarly, a divorce lawyer could tweet a link to news where a wife gets custody of children against an abusive husband. Such winning stories make people curious and they retweet to share them with others. Make sure your tweets contain a little background about the case.

Share what your firm is up to

You need not be always serious with your social media interaction. You would benefit greatly if you tweeted and shared photos of the new member on your team, holiday party held at your office, or new interior decoration.

You could also share a group photo of all your lawyers mentioning how some of them have been working for years now. In fact, any information, which alludes to the fact that your law firm is present in brick and mortar, and holds years of experience, is worth sharing with the online community.
