Opposing-counsel dossiers ready to download. Bar disciplinary watch across all fifty states. Speaking pipeline that fits your specialty. The dashboard that keeps your reputation surface clean while you do the actual work.
Free plan available. No card required. Switch Dens anytime.
You handle marketing, intake, drafting, hearings, and the conflicts check yourself. There is no firm-wide marketing department. There is no junior associate to research opposing counsel before depositions. The Lawyer Den is the layer that gives you both — a daily reputation dashboard plus deep dossiers on the lawyers across the courtroom from you.
The bar-disciplinary watch is the hidden value. Most solos do not run a daily scan against all fifty states — and most of the moments that matter happen in jurisdictions you are not actively practicing in. The Den watches all of them.
You and your partners share marketing roughly. Each of you owns a niche. Geo SEO around your courthouse town and your specialty is the single highest-leverage move you can make this year, and most of you have been meaning to get to it for two years. The Den runs the geo motion in the background and surfaces the next move daily.
You handle securities-class-action, environmental, intellectual-property, complex-commercial — something with a national scope and a small bar. Speaking, panel rotations, and continuing legal education appearances are how you compound authority in your niche. The Den watches the CLE circuit, panel openings, and host invitations and surfaces the ones that fit.
You are quoted in the press. You write op-eds. You appear on legal podcasts. Your visibility is part of the practice. The Den's quote-opportunity widget surfaces journalists working on stories where your specialty is relevant, and the speaking-pipeline widget keeps you in front of the audience that matters.
Four ALPS widgets refresh daily. Drafts that touch client-facing content pass a rules-of-professional-conduct check.
Monday before court at 7am you open the Den. The opposing-counsel dossier for the deposition you have Wednesday is ready to download. Twenty-two pages, organized by section: courtroom history, published opinions citing the lawyer, panel appearances, prior firm transitions, public bar status, pattern of cross-examination style. You skim, flag three sections to read on the train, send the rest to your associate.
Tuesday a quote-opportunity card surfaces. A reporter at the Wall Street Journal is working on a piece about a Securities and Exchange Commission action that touches your specialty. The Den's drafted reach-out cites your two most recent published-opinion citations. You tweak two sentences and send. Reporter replies same day. The piece publishes Friday with you cited as the third source.
Wednesday is the deposition. The dossier was useful exactly twice. Both times mattered. That is the Den paying for itself in a single morning.
Thursday a bar disciplinary watch alert fires. A lawyer in a state you are not licensed in but whose work you sometimes encounter has had a public bar status change. The Den shows the filing context. You file the alert away — relevant, not urgent.
Friday the speaking-opportunity widget surfaces a CLE panel opening for the state bar's annual meeting in your specialty area. Submission deadline is two weeks. The Den has drafted a one-paragraph proposal abstract you will edit Saturday morning. Total time across the week, including the dossier read: about two and a half hours. The deposition went well in part because of what the dossier surfaced.
Most solo and small-firm lawyers do not have the time to research opposing counsel beyond a quick Google. The Den's opposing-counsel dossier is the kind of background work an associate would do at a large firm, available to a one-person operation in a couple of clicks.
AI search is rewriting how clients find lawyers. Whoever owns the question for a specialty plus a geography wins the next decade of intake. The Den watches your share of voice and surfaces the questions where competitors rank and you do not.
A partner moving firms, opposing counsel who quietly got disciplined in a different state, a co-counsel whose status changed — all of this matters and most of it is not in your morning email. The Den's bar watch fires alerts within hours.
Speaking is how authority compounds in legal specialty. CLE panel rotations and bar-event invitations are how it happens. Most solos miss CFP windows because they are not watching. The Den watches.
Lex Machina and Casetext are courtroom-data and legal-research platforms — the foundation of pre-trial intelligence. The Lawyer Den is the daily home that wraps around them: opposing-counsel dossiers built from public sources, daily marketing-side widgets, geo SEO, and the bar disciplinary watch. Most solo and small-firm lawyers run both. The Den's dossier is a complement to Lex Machina-style courtroom-data, not a substitute.
A legal-marketing agency at the typical SEO-focused tier costs three to seven thousand a month and produces work that takes six to twelve months to compound. The Lawyer Den at the Pro tier is a small fraction of that and gives you the daily controls — what to post, where to speak, which questions to answer on AI search. The catch is the Den does not write your blog for you. It tells you what to write about and drafts the first paragraph; you write the rest.
Manual visibility motion for a solo or small-firm lawyer typically looks like Avvo, a half-finished website, and a quarterly bar publication article. Most solos never set up a state-bar disciplinary watch beyond their own jurisdiction. Most small firms never do an opposing-counsel dossier deeper than a Google search. The Den compresses the time-to-do-the-right-thing from hours-or-never to minutes-a-day.
The Pro tier covers a single lawyer. The Agency tier supports up to ten attorneys at one firm with shared opposing-counsel libraries, shared bar-disciplinary watchlists, and shared speaking-circuit scheduling. Both tiers include the four daily widgets, unlimited opposing-counsel dossiers, the multi-state bar watch, and the geo-SEO motion.
A solo securities-litigation attorney based in a mid-sized city runs the Lawyer Den. Over six months she pulls forty-one opposing-counsel dossiers ahead of depositions and hearings. The dossiers surface relevant prior-opinion citations or pattern-of-argument context in twenty-eight of them. Two of the cases turn meaningfully on something the dossier surfaced. Geo-SEO motion lifts her share-of-voice on AI search for "securities litigation in [her city]" from below the fold to top three over four months. New-client intake from search rises forty percent year over year. She publishes two CLE-panel articles surfaced by the speaking-opportunity widget, both of which lead to direct referrals from other lawyers. The Den did not litigate the cases or close the clients. It made the daily marketing motion possible while she did the practice.
Sign up free. Pick the Lawyer Den as your first Den. Connect your bar-license jurisdictions, your firm site, your specialty areas, and your courthouse geography. The Den hydrates with that context in about an hour and starts the daily widgets the next morning.
Solo practitioners running their own books, small-firm partners (two to twenty attorneys), and specialist litigators who own a niche. The Den is calibrated for lawyers who handle their own marketing rather than relying on a firm-wide marketing department.
Public courtroom history, published opinions where the lawyer is cited, panel and conference appearances, podcast appearances, public bar status across all jurisdictions, prior firm history, published writing, and a structured pattern analysis of how they tend to argue. The dossier is built only on public records.
The Den scans public bar disciplinary records across all fifty states plus DC daily. If you, your partners, or any opposing counsel you have flagged appears in a new disciplinary filing or status change, an alert fires within hours. The watch is read-only on public state-bar publications.
The Den watches your share of voice on AI search across your geography and practice area. It surfaces the questions where competitors rank and you do not, drafts answer content tuned to local intent, and tracks ranking shifts. Owning your geo plus practice area on AI search is the single highest-leverage marketing move for solo and small-firm lawyers.
Yes. CLE panels, bar association events, podcasts, and continuing legal education conferences are the primary path for litigator authority. The Den watches CFP openings, panel rotations, and host invitations across the bar circuit and surfaces ones that fit your specialty.
Yes. All drafted client-facing content runs through a check against ABA Model Rules and the major state-specific rules of professional conduct. Drafts that risk solicitation rule violations or unauthorized practice flags route to a review queue rather than to your inbox.
Yes. The Agency tier supports up to ten attorneys at one firm with shared opposing-counsel libraries, shared bar-disciplinary watchlists, and shared speaking-circuit scheduling. Each attorney's individual Den view is private to them within firm-managed permissions.
