The End of Shared Leads: Why Post-Pay Joint Advertising is the Future for Law Firms

The era of buying cheap, shared leads is officially over.

Between the FCC’s new “1-to-1 Consent” ruling and the aggressive crackdown by State Bars on “capping” and fee-splitting, the traditional lead generation model has become a minefield for law firms.

At Mohr Marketing, we saw this shift coming. That’s why we transitioned away from the “vendor” model and pioneered a Post-Pay Joint Advertising Program designed specifically for exclusivity, compliance, and law firm growth.

The Problem: The “Black Box” of Lead Gen

For years, law firms have been at the mercy of lead aggregators. You pay a fixed fee, and in return, you get a spreadsheet of names. You don’t know where they came from, what ad they saw, or how many other firms are calling them right now.

This model fails for two reasons:

1. Zero Exclusivity: “Shared leads” are just a race to the bottom. The prospect is bombarded by calls, annoyed, and likely to ignore you.
2. Regulatory Risk: If that vendor didn’t get specific, 1-to-1 consent for your firm, you are liable for TCPA violations.

The Solution: Joint Advertising (Not Lead Buying)

We don’t sell leads. We build partnerships.

Our Joint Advertising Program is a 1-to-1 co-venture between Mohr Marketing and your law firm. We act as your dedicated marketing arm, executing media buys that are exclusively yours.

When a potential client clicks an ad, they aren’t filling out a generic form for “legal help.” They are filling out a form specifically for your firm. The data routes immediately to your CRM, and it is never resold.

The “Post-Pay” Advantage

We understand that cash flow is the lifeblood of a law firm. Many agencies require substantial upfront retainers before launching a campaign, leaving you to bear all financial risk.

We flipped the script.

Our program operates on a Post-Pay Model. We believe in our ability to generate high-intent inquiries so strongly that we don’t need to lock you in with heavy upfront fees. You pay for the media costs and execution after the lead is delivered and approved. This aligns our goals with yours: we succeed only when you have a steady stream of viable prospects.

Compliance is Your Shield

In today’s legal landscape, compliance isn’t a “nice to have”—it’s a survival requirement.

We implement TrustedForm and Jornaya on every single campaign. This generates a “Digital Birth Certificate” for every inquiry, proving that the consumer explicitly consented to be contacted by your firm. This provides you with a defensible audit trail and protects you from the “professional plaintiffs” looking to sue firms for TCPA violations.

Why make the switch?

Because “buying leads” is dangerous, but Joint Advertising is the future. You get the transparency of a partner, the safety of compliance, and the financial flexibility of a post-pay model.
