Personalized Marketing & Back-Office Support for Lawyers

As a lawyer, your focus should be on your clients and cases—not endless admin, website updates, or marketing. 

But finding reliable and experienced support without hiring someone full-time…  well, it can feel impossible.

We provide an outsourced back office, fractional access to a virtual assistant, and expert marketing services – all under one virtual “roof”.

Our mission is to free up your time and help your practice grow – sustainably.

Services

Less Juggling. More Lawyering.

At The Seven Seedlings, we’re different from traditional agencies for a few key reasons.

First, we’re small like you, which means we prioritize giving each client personalized attention and tailored solutions. (No revolving door of account managers or assistants!)

Second, our approach is inspired by permaculture principles, focusing on sustainable, well-designed strategies that allow your practice to thrive over time. For example, everything we do for you is work-for-hire – meaning it’s yours.  

Third, we offer comprehensive support for both back-office tasks and marketing needs, so you can streamline your operations and grow your practice without juggling multiple Virtual Assistants and service providers.

Websites

Web design, maintenance, changes, and optimization. Whether you need a new site or want to spruce up your old one, we’ve got you covered.

Marketing & Social

Small firms & solos need a sustainable marketing strategy focused on organic traffic and referrals – not huge advertising bills.

Graphic Design & Videos

Stop being your own marketing assistant. With us, you’ll have an efficient, creative Virtual Assistant directed by experienced marketers.

US-Based Client Services

Attorneys who offer high-end services often prefer to have our US-based team call clients and prospects. 

Admin Support

Hand off bookkeeping, invoicing, payment processing, scheduling, document management, and more. 

Need help invoicing?

On average, solos and small firms fail to invoice 14% of their billable hours*.

My Seven Seedlings Story

In 2017, I helped my now-husband build a sustainable, successful firm – and I’m proud to say he’s achieved and maintained fantastic work-life balance while continuing to grow.

Post-Covid, my focus has been helping professional service providers (lawyers, consultants, doctors, etc.) do the same. 

What I Do Here

Like you, I’m a small business owner, so my hands are in everything from hiring to day-to-day client support.

Professional Highlights

I’m a rainmaker.

I built a cookie convention from nothing to 12,000 attendees in just 2 years. 

I’ve also generated millions in “Closed Won” deals with companies ranging from startups to titans like Apple and the federal government.

Specialties

  • Revenue generation (sales, partnerships, marketing, conversion optimization)
  • Copywriting & content
  • Talent acquisition & development

My Seven Seedlings Story

In 2016, I worked with Nancy for the first time. We wanted to work together again, but, the opportunity didn’t arise until 2021. Shortly after founding 7S, she hired me to be a Client Manager.

In 2024, she offered me the opportunity to join as a partner.

The rest is history!

What I Do Here

Client management, quality control, and everything else involved in keeping the trains running on time.

Professional Highlights

I’ve managed complex petition turn-ins for state-level ballot measures. The effort most recently involved training & supervising hundreds of temps across four states to ensure compliance.

The amount of work and personnel it takes to get a ballot measure to voters is astounding.

Specialties

  • Emergencies & last-minute requests
  • Temp & assistant management
  • Client intake & services

Frequently Asked Questions

How does your pricing work?

There are two ways to work with us, each with their own pricing structure:

  1. Monthly retainers starting at $200/mo for marketing, back-office, admin, and general support;
  2. Flat-fee projects for one-time or short-term needs such as a new website or case management software implementation.

Our rates are reasonable and aligned with solo/small firm budgets.

How can you help me with marketing?

Short answer: By simplifying and creating.

Longer answer: We’re laser-focused on getting you more of your ideal clients without overwhelm or wasted ad spend.

Most small firms need SEO, social media management, email marketing, content creation, and website updates. Some need help placing and optimizing ads. We do physical design (booths, flyers, banners), too.

Ultimately, though, we tailor to your needs and keep open communication on metrics and results so you can track progress.

Can you call my clients?

Yes! We routinely place calls for all kinds of reasons – usually to ask for payment, follow up on an inquiry, request more documents or information, or to schedule a call without phone tag. 

Do you work with my competitors?

We do our own version of a “conflict check” before taking on a new client to ensure we’re not working with your direct competitor. For example, if you’re an estate planning firm in Los Angeles, you will be our only estate planning firm.

Should I hire you or an overseas Virtual Assistant?

That’s a great question, and one we can help you answer when we meet. It might be that you should hire a VA – we’ll be the first to tell you if so. Or, you may benefit from having us to help with VA/assistant management.

Generally speaking, most solos and small firms don’t have enough for a full-time VA to do – nor do they have 10 hours a week to train, manage, develop, and vet work from that VA.

In those situations, our fractional, concierge-style approach is a great solution for everyone.
