Generating, collecting, and managing leads is an essential part of growing your practice. Prima.Law’s Leads functionality provides powerful tools to help you capture potential clients, track their progress, and convert them into contacts. Here’s a step-by-step guide to using this feature effectively.
Setting Up Leads in Prima.Law
Upload Your Firm Logo:
- Go to the Administrator Console.
- Navigate to Firm Info and upload your firm logo.
Generate Leads Link:
- Scroll down to the Leads section and click on the “Generate Leads Link” button.
- If you want to receive notifications for new leads, add an email address in the designated field. You can use a general email like [email protected].
Using the Leads Link:
- Share the generated link on your website, social media, or email campaigns.
- The link will direct potential clients to a form featuring your logo where they can provide their name, phone number, email, and questions for the attorney.
Add Tags for Organization:
- Add tags so they can show for your clients when completing the lead intake form.
- This allows you to categorize leads (e.g., “Ad Campaign,” “Referral,” “Hot Lead”) and later filter or group them for better organization.
Capturing and Viewing Leads:
- Once a lead fills out the form, their information will appear in the Leads section of Prima.Law.
- Navigate to the Leads Table to view all incoming leads. Each lead includes details like name, contact information, consultation questions, and any uploaded photos.

Files Tab:
- Review files uploaded by clients when completing the intake form.

Converting Leads to Contacts
When to Convert:
