Most law firm websites have the same problem. The practice-area pages were written once, the blog stopped after a few posts, and nobody has time to write more between client work. Writingful is AI writing software that gets outlines, drafts, and updates done quickly, so the people who know the law spend their time reviewing instead of facing a blank page.

It is a drafting tool, not a legal expert. It does not know your jurisdiction, it can state things that are wrong, and nothing it writes has been reviewed by a lawyer. Treat every output as a first draft that an attorney checks, edits, and approves, the way you would treat work from a new associate or an outside freelancer.

Below you will find what law firms can create with Writingful, example prompts with sample outputs, 20 topic ideas, and the professional-conduct rules and Google guidance worth checking before you publish.

Examples

See what Writingful writes for law firms

These are illustrative examples of the kind of output you can expect. Your results will depend on your prompt, and every draft should be reviewed and edited before you publish.

Your prompt

Write an introduction and outline for a blog post titled "What to Expect at a First Meeting with a Family Law Attorney". Audience: people who have never hired a lawyer. Tone: calm and plain. Do not give legal advice or predict outcomes. Include a short section on what documents to bring.

You write the brief Write it
Sample outputIllustrative

Meeting a family law attorney for the first time can feel intimidating, especially when you are dealing with something personal and stressful. Knowing what the meeting is for makes it easier to prepare. Most first consultations give you a chance to explain your situation, ask questions, and learn how the attorney works. They are not a commitment to hire anyone.

Outline

  1. What the first meeting is for, and what it is not
  2. What to bring: photo ID, any court papers you have received, financial documents, and a short timeline of key dates
  3. Questions to ask the attorney about experience, fees, and how you will communicate
  4. What the attorney may ask you
  5. What happens after the meeting

Every situation is different. This article is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship.

How it works

How law firms use Writingful

  1. Step 1 of 4

    Start from a real client question

    Pick a topic from your intake notes or search data, or from the ideas below. The free Blog Post Ideas Generator and Writingful's keyword tools show what people actually search for.

  2. Step 2 of 4

    Brief the writer with your facts

    Give the AI your jurisdiction, audience, tone, and any source text. Save a brand voice from a page you like so drafts sound like your firm.

  3. Step 3 of 4

    Draft, compare, and optimize

    Choose from 18 AI models, compare two drafts of the same brief side by side, then use the SEO Optimizer and Interlinker to work in keywords and links to your other pages.

  4. Step 4 of 4

    Attorney review before publishing

    Check every statement of law, fact, and result. Add citations and your firm's disclaimer, edit the draft until it is yours, and have a lawyer approve it.

Accuracy and compliance

Writing for law firms responsibly

Legal marketing is regulated, and AI does not change that. These are the main places where AI-assisted content can cause problems. Rules vary by state, so confirm what applies in your jurisdiction.

Marketing claims must not be false or misleading

ABA Model Rule 7.1 says a lawyer may not make a false or misleading communication about the lawyer or the lawyer's services. That includes leaving out a fact that makes a statement misleading, creating unjustified expectations about results, and comparing your services with other lawyers' unless the comparison can be substantiated. AI drafts often add superlatives such as "top-rated" or "best". Remove anything you cannot prove.

Your duties apply to AI tools too

ABA Formal Opinion 512, issued in July 2024, applies existing duties to generative AI: competence, confidentiality, communication with clients, reasonable fees, and supervision. Marketing content rarely needs client details. Write from public information and your own notes, and do not paste confidential or privileged material into any AI tool without confirming how it is handled. Many state bars have issued their own guidance as well.

Fact-check every statement before publishing

AI models predict likely wording, not verified law, so a draft can cite a rule that does not exist or has changed. Google's own guidance says it is critical to manually fact-check and review AI-generated content for accuracy before publishing. Verify each statement against a primary source and add the date the article was last reviewed.

Never let AI invent testimonials or results

The FTC says an endorsement must reflect the honest opinion of the endorser. Do not ask AI to write client reviews, case results, or client stories. Write them yourself from approved facts, and check your state bar's rules on testimonials and past results, since many states require disclaimers or restrict them.

Say what the page is, and what it is not

General-information articles should say that they are not legal advice and do not create an attorney-client relationship. Some states also require specific advertising labels or disclaimers. Check the rules where you practice and add your standard wording before publishing.

Original pages, not copies with the city swapped

Google says using AI to generate many pages without adding value for users may violate its spam policy on scaled content abuse. Do not publish dozens of near-identical city or practice-area pages. Each page needs details only your firm can add, such as local courts, how your process works, and who you serve.

Source: Google Search Central: AI-generated content

This page is general information about a software product. It is not legal advice or ethics guidance. Writingful is not a law firm and does not review content for legal accuracy or compliance. You are responsible for checking everything you publish against the rules in your jurisdiction.

Using AI for law firm content without losing client trust

Clients choose a lawyer they trust, and your website is often where that starts. The goal of AI-assisted writing is not to publish more pages. It is to get the useful ones finished: the practice-area page that has been on your to-do list for a year, the answer to the question every new client asks, the update that keeps current clients informed.

Use AI for structure and first drafts, not legal conclusions

AI is good at the parts of writing that take time but not legal judgment: outlines, plain-language rewrites, headings, FAQs, and variations of a title or description. Leave conclusions about the law to a lawyer. When you do ask for a summary of a rule, paste in the source text so the draft stays tied to what it actually says.

Give it your facts, jurisdiction, and voice

The more specific your brief, the less the model has to guess. Name the practice area, state, audience, and tone, and say what to leave out. A saved brand voice helps drafts sound like your firm instead of a generic template.

Plan topics before you write

Start from the questions prospects ask. Our guides on content mapping and how to write a blog post outline show how to organize a set of pages around client intent, and the blog post SEO checklist covers what to check before each post goes live.

Know what Google says about AI content

Google does not ban AI-generated content, but it does look for content that is accurate, original, and useful. Our article on whether Google can detect AI content explains what that means in practice. The same quality bar applies to reviews and testimonials, so read what testimonial advertising is and how it works before you publish any client feedback.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Nothing about the tool or Google's guidance stops you, but your professional-conduct rules still apply. ABA Formal Opinion 512 says lawyers must understand the risks of the tools they use and keep to their duties of competence, confidentiality, and supervision. In practice, use AI for structure and drafts, and have an attorney review every post before it is published.
No. Writingful is a writing tool. It does not provide legal advice, and it does not verify that what it writes is accurate or compliant in your jurisdiction. An attorney should check every statement of law before publishing.
We recommend that you do not enter confidential or privileged client information into any AI tool unless you have confirmed that doing so meets your confidentiality obligations. Marketing content can almost always be written from public information and your own notes.
Google says AI-generated content is not against its guidelines by itself, but content made mainly to manipulate rankings, or many pages that add no value, can violate its spam policies. Accurate, original content written for clients is what to aim for. Writingful's SEO tools help with keywords and links, but no tool can guarantee rankings.
It can write a bio from facts you provide. It should not be used to invent case results, awards, rankings, or testimonials. Write those yourself from approved facts and follow your state bar's advertising rules.
You can save up to three writing styles from sample text, such as pages from your current site, and apply one when you generate. You should still edit the result.
No. You supply the jurisdiction, court, and rule details in your prompt or source text, and you verify them before publishing.
Writingful lets you choose from 18 models from 5 providers and compare drafts of the same brief side by side. Try the same prompt on two models and keep the one that reads best, then edit it.
The free plan includes 5,000 words of AI output each month and does not need a credit card. Paid plans start at $9/month ($7.50/month billed yearly).
