Websites for Criminal Defense Attorneys
Criminal defense clients are searching under extreme stress — facing arrest, charges, or the fear of losing their freedom. When they find your website, they need to feel one thing immediately: this attorney can help me, right now.
Since 2005, AWebsiteForLawyers has built criminal defense lawyer websites specifically designed to convert urgent, high-stakes visitors into consultations — at a fraction of what large legal marketing agencies charge.
Why You Need a Specialized Site
Why Criminal Defense Attorneys Need a Specialized Website
Criminal defense is one of the most urgent practice areas online. Someone searching "criminal defense attorney near me" at 11pm after an arrest isn't browsing — they're desperate for help and will call the first attorney whose website inspires confidence. Every second your site takes to load, every confusing navigation element, every missing phone number is a call you didn't get.
A strong criminal defense website needs to:
- Project immediate authority and accessibility — visitors need to believe you can handle their case and that you're reachable right now
- Address the most common charges directly — DUI, assault, drug offenses, theft, domestic violence — visitors want to see their specific situation acknowledged
- Explain what happens after an arrest — one of the most searched criminal law topics. Answering this builds trust before the first call
- Make calling easy at any hour — criminal defense clients often search late at night or on weekends. A visible phone number and after-hours contact option converts
- Rank locally for searches like "[your city] criminal defense attorney," "[your city] DUI lawyer," or "[your city] drug charge attorney"

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Website Cost?
Our criminal defense website packages start at $699 for a single-page site and go up to $2,599 for a comprehensive twenty-plus page authority site. Every package is a one-time payment — no monthly retainers, no surprise fees. Call us at 800.929.5439 for a free 30-minute consultation and we'll recommend the right fit for your practice.
Will My Website Help Me Rank for "[City] Criminal Defense Lawyer"?
Yes. Local SEO and Google Business Listing optimization are included in every package — helping your firm rank for searches like "[your city] criminal defense attorney," "[your city] DUI lawyer," or "[your city] drug charge attorney."
Can I Have Separate Pages for Each Type of Charge I Handle?
Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Separate pages for DUI, drug offenses, assault, and other charges allow each to rank independently for its own search terms and help visitors immediately find content relevant to their specific situation.
How Do I Handle After-Hours Contact on My Website?
We build every criminal defense site with a highly visible phone number and contact form on every page. We can also discuss after-hours contact options — many criminal defense clients search late at night or on weekends when they need help most.
How Fast Can My Criminal Defense Website Go Live?
Most criminal defense websites launch within 2-4 weeks from the time we receive your content and approvals. Our human-edited AI content speeds up the process significantly — you'll receive professionally written draft content for review within days of getting started.
Once I Have My Website, Will I Be Able to Edit It Myself?"
Absolutely. The modern WordPress based sites can be updated by you, we even provide a one-on-one introduction. We encourage you to publish your own blog posts.
You also have the option to send us changes - 60 minutes of changes are free, above that we'll charge our hourly rates.
Do You Provide Ongoing Support After Launch?
Yes — every website we build comes with ongoing U.S.-based support. When you need a phone number updated, a new practice area added, a staff bio changed, or a new testimonial posted, our team responds quickly. Unlike many providers where small changes take weeks and require a support ticket, we aim to handle routine updates fast. We also offer annual hosting renewal and can discuss ongoing SEO and content updates as your firm grows.
