You should write emails that people can easily relate to. Don’t focus on being a lawyer or overstuffing your emails with legal words that majority might not understand because you will surely lose the interest of your readers. Focus on the people that you want to connect with and think of ways on how to kindle their emotions to make them motivated in reading and sharing your email content.

Avoid being obvious in trying to advertise your law firm. Concentrate on sending a high quality information and content in your email and once people will read and like the data you send them, then, eventually you won’t need to advertise your legal services in a point of selling them. Once you are able to spark your client’s interest and emotions, they will learn to trust you and come to you whenever they need to hire a lawyer.
