Latino Law Firm Marketing
and the Importance of
Ethnic Attorney Advertising

Latino law firm marketing, Hispanic law firm marketing or Chicano law firm marketing - depending on the identification of your target market in your area - is becoming an important and specialized field.

About 80% of this almost 40 million-plus ethnic group is concentrated in the 25 major metropolitan cites of the USA, making up about 13% of the USA population.

It is growing faster than any other ethnic group in the USA.


The Ethnic Connection

If you are part of this ethnic group, this is what is known as a "natural affiliation group" for you. Because you are one of this group, you have a natural bonding to others of your "type." You should be targeting this market in your law firm advertising for sure since you are already "culturally competent."

Don't stop reading here if you think Latino law firm marketing does not apply to you. It does. If you are not in this ethnic group, then apply this thinking to another ethnic group in your market.

Even apply it to one of your "natural affiliation groups" (Women, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Gays, etc.) in your market. The same principles apply; only it makes it easier, if you belong to the ethnic or natural affiliation group yourself.

If you are not in this ethnic group yourself and you are located in one of the 25 major markets, Latino law firm marketing is a must for your firm's future growth.


Diversify Your Workplace and Prosper

The reason you see me writing Chicano, Hispanic, or Latino law firm marketing at times is because most Anglo-Americans tend to see this community as a monolithic, one-culture, Spanish-speaking group.

Indeed this is not the case.

There are many cultures inside the Spanish speaking ethnic groups who even speak the Spanish somewhat differently and write the language somewhat differently. Much like there are many cultural differences between Aussies, Scots and Americans.

The Spanish written and spoken in San Antonio, Texas is not the same as that in Chicago, Illinois. Just like the English spoken and written in Birmingham, England is not like that in New York City.

In different parts of the USA, Spanish speakers identify themselves differently as Latino, Hispanic or Chicano. You need to become culturally competent and diversify your workplace to serve this ethnic group and prosper. I learned Hispanic marketing principles the hard way in Corpus Christi, Texas in the early 1980s, which then was more than 40% Hispanic.

Hispanic, Chicano, and Latino law firm marketing is different, particularly when it comes to the media in law firm advertising. One great resource that can deepen your knowledge about this ethnic group is available online via a blog at http://hispanictrending.net/.  This blog has information that should help you with legal marketing.  Juan Guillermo Tornoe who writes the blog has a comprehensive listing of resources that includes companies that could help you with law firm advertising or other marketing to Spanish speakers.


See Significant Business Development with
Ethnic Attorney Advertising


With relationship marketing, referral source development, or word of mouth marketing, Latino law firm marketing is not significantly different from marketing in the Anglo culture, if you are culturally sensitive.

If you are ethnically Latino, you have an advantage for sure with Hispanic law firm marketing. However, don't be discouraged if you are not. You can realize significant business development from this community if you go after it appropriately. You even need to target this group in your law firm Internet marketing strategy.

There is another very effective approach to legal marketing, which is law firm Internet marketing. Keep reading to learn how the Internet can help you increase your income and reduce your work hours.
