Website checks by industry › Law Firms
People looking for a lawyer are often stressed and searching on a phone. A consultation form a screen reader can’t fill in, or a firm Google can’t place on the map, loses the client before the first call.
Takes a few seconds. No signup. We only look at what any visitor can see.
Across 152 US small-business websites (dentists, law firms, auto shops and more) we checked as of October 18, 2026: up to 10 public pages each, in a real phone-size browser. Share of sites with each problem:
Automated checks only. They can’t catch every accessibility issue, and they don’t make a site compliant on their own.
Automated scans flag the same few problems again and again. On a law firm website, look first at:
Every field needs a visible label, every button a name a screen reader can say, and error messages must say what went wrong.
Use one clear main heading, logical subheadings and link text that makes sense on its own (not “click here”).
Each photo needs alt text that says what it shows, and images should be compressed so the page loads fast on a phone.
Google reads your hours, phone number, address and map pin from LocalBusiness structured data. For a law firm the right type is LegalService. Paste a block like this inside the <head> of your homepage, with your own details:

The ADA covers businesses open to the public, and US courts and the Department of Justice have repeatedly treated websites as part of that. There’s no single official checklist; WCAG 2.1 level AA is the standard most often cited in demand letters and settlements. This isn’t legal advice.
Use LegalService, a more specific type of LocalBusiness on schema.org. A specific type tells Google exactly what you are, which helps it match you to searches for law firms near the searcher.
