Personal Injury Lawyers - WordPress Maintenance
Your website is a 24/7 intake channel, not a brochure. When a plugin conflict silently breaks your contact form or your Clio integration stops routing leads, you lose cases before you even know something's wrong. We keep personal injury law firm sites fast, secure, and connected to the systems your intake team depends on.
Overview
Four reasons a generic WordPress care plan isn't good enough for a personal injury firm's site.
PI leads come from people who just had an accident and are searching right now. If your site is down when that search happens, the visitor calls the next firm. Uptime monitoring with rapid response is essential, not optional, for a PI firm's site.
A plugin update or hosting change can quietly break a contact form without any visible error. Weeks can pass with zero leads coming through before anyone notices, and by then the cost in missed cases is real.
Prospective clients submit names, phone numbers, and details about their accident or injury before any attorney-client relationship exists. An insecure site that exposes that data creates a serious trust and compliance problem.
Google treats site speed as a ranking signal. A site that degrades over time from plugin bloat or unoptimized images loses ground on the competitive terms your firm has worked to rank for.
What's included
Six services that run in the background so your site stays fast, secure, and connected to your intake workflow.
Updates
Applied on a scheduled basis with pre-update backups so rollback is available if something conflicts. No surprise breakage from silent updates.
Backups
Full site backups stored in redundant off-site locations. If something breaks or the site is compromised, restoration is measured in hours, not days.
Uptime
Alerts the moment the site goes down, with rapid response to restore availability. For a 24/7 intake channel, minutes matter.
Security
Firewall configuration, malware scanning, login protection, and file integrity monitoring, keeping sensitive intake data protected.
Performance
Load time tracking and Core Web Vitals monitoring, since site speed affects both search rankings and intake form completion rates.
Integrations & support
Regular verification that Clio, Filevine, SmartAdvocate, and other intake integrations are working. When something needs attention, the same team that built your site handles it.
The risk
Three concrete failure modes we see on PI firm sites that skipped ongoing care.
A case management integration that stops routing leads can fail silently for weeks. Every form submission during that window disappears, and you find out only when a prospective client mentions they never heard back. We monitor integration health so you find out from us first.
An unpatched WordPress site is a known attack target, and attackers actively scan for outdated plugins. A breach that exposes client intake data is a serious reputational event on top of the technical cleanup involved. Prevention through active maintenance costs far less than remediation after a breach.
Core Web Vitals are a ranking factor, and a site that slows down over time through plugin bloat or unoptimized images will lose ranking ground. That's especially costly in a vertical where you're already paying a premium for every click and every position on the page.
Plans
Three tiers on top of managed hosting. Care plans are scoped on the intake call so you're not paying for a package that doesn't match your site.
Core
Essential coverage
Pro
Most PI firms
Priority
High-volume firms
Managed hosting starts at $99/mo.
Response times
Treated as the highest priority. A visitor searching for help right now can't reach a firm whose site is down, so these issues get immediate attention regardless of when they're reported.
A case management integration that stops routing leads gets fast turnaround, since every hour it's broken means intake data isn't reaching your team.
Malware detection or a suspicious login attempt triggers immediate investigation and remediation before it can affect intake data or site availability.
Scheduled work like plugin updates and performance tuning happens on a predictable cadence that doesn't interrupt your site's operation.

Good to know
Managed hosting starts at $99/mo, billed every six months with no onboarding fee. It includes server management, SSL, and a hosting environment tuned for WordPress performance. Care plans on top of hosting add the ongoing maintenance work like updates, backups, and security monitoring.
We scope maintenance pricing during an intake call based on your site's plugin count, the number of integrations it runs, your content update frequency, and your intake volume. That way you're paying for coverage that actually matches your site, not a generic package.
Yes. Regular integration health checks are part of our Pro and Priority plans, so if a connection breaks, we catch it before it costs you weeks of missed leads rather than after a client mentions never hearing back.
Uptime monitoring runs continuously, and our team responds to outages as soon as they're detected regardless of time of day. For firms on our Priority plan, response commitments are built around the reality that PI intake happens around the clock.
Yes. We regularly take over maintenance for existing WordPress sites. We start with an audit to understand the current state of the site, flag any urgent issues, and then bring it onto a maintenance plan that fits.
We can configure and monitor live chat integrations as part of a maintenance plan, checking that the widget loads correctly and routes conversations to the right place. If you don't have live chat yet, we can also scope adding it to your site.
