Do you speak English? Parle vous francais? Se habla espanol? Your attorney website design should say so!

If you, or someone in your office, speaks a foreign language, make sure to mention it prominently on your site (somewhere near the phone number on all pages) and on your contact page. It can only help your attorney marketing strategies. Someone may have searched for you in English, but if their native language is Russian, they may feel better about speaking to a Russian speaker. When you put up this notice, make sure to say “We speak Spanish” (or I speak) in the native language to encourage a phone call.
The high school Spanish classes may starting coming back to you!

So basically saying se habla espanol will turn other language speaking individuals away?

Stating that you speak Spanish encourages Spanish speakers to call you. While it could dissaude other language speakers from contacting you, it might do that anyway if you do not address that you specifically speak that language. For example, if you do not say that you speak Italian, as an Italian speaker I may be turned away - not because you speak Spanish but because you do not speak Italian. That said, if you can speak multiple languages, say so! One of our clients, a New York Immigration Lawyer, lists all of their languages on their site and it has worked well for them.
