I think last name is better. But if you want to eventually sell your practice to Wal-Mart, then trade name.

I think trade-name law firms are among the most startingly prole things you can do to your practice.

Checks out, Reddit seems to be all about trade names. The main alleged benefits are resale value and SEO rankings. The former might be something to consider for certain practice areas but the SEO stuff makes no sense to me. Can't you just put those buzzwords elsewhere on your site? i.e. Paralegal Mohammad, #1 SoCal Bankruptcy Attorney

"resale value"? What fucking percent of solo shops have resale value after the solo attorney no longer works there?

An old boomer (maybe even silent gen) solo once tried to "sell" me his practice, which consisted mostly of traffic defense and shitty family law. Just had a good chuckle remembering that.

love it when law firms have "modern" MBA-sounding hip names.

Like, Synergy Law, Fidelity Law, EZ Legal, Reliant Law, Apex Legal, Inspire Legal Services, Holistic Legal, etc.

I have no idea why solos would do trade names. I think it means they are basically killing time until they partner up with other attys

Trade name is great for marketing because people know that you only do of law.

"Faggot Family Law" tells potential clients that you specialize in a certain field of law and that's why you're charging through the nose.

Few general practitioners anymore. But very common to take anything that walks in the door in the early days, or focus on a few transactional areas until a clientele is established. You can always target later with marketing, website or a dba later.
