Best California Legal Website Designs

California is the home of legal internet marketing.   The three largest legal SEO companies (FindLaw, Scorpion and Justia) were all started in the Golden State.   Today there are 23 legal SEO/Design companies that are headquartered in California.  Among those companies is iLawyermarketing, arguably the best in the legal industry when it comes to both design and ranking results.   Started in 2006 by Mike Perez, iLawyermarketing is a boutique legal design and SEO company in San Diego CA.   In 2012 I sold my company to iLawyermarketing and I now represent them as their National Sales director.

There are hundreds of great sites in the State.  In fact the many of the honorable mention sites would be top 5 in most other States.  Therefore, after the first 5, I organized the best of the rest by practice area.

  1. Schoenberg Family Law Group – The most visible family law site in San Francisco is also one of the best legal designs in the State.  Released in 2018 by iLawyermarketing, the site features a number of fantastic interactive design features.
