The final piece.

[ The  Brief ]

What they needed.

Criminal defense is an urgent, high-anxiety buying decision. Most of the firm's prospective clients were finding them through Google at 2am — and most were bouncing.

The firm needed a brand film that did the trust-building work in 90 seconds, plus practice area videos that answered the questions every caller was already asking.

[ Our  Approach ]

How we built it.

We interviewed the partners about the cases they're proudest of, the cases they turn down, and what they actually do on day one of a client relationship. The through-line — 'we take every case like it's our own' — became the spine of the brand film.

Shot over a single day in LA across the firm's office and the downtown courthouse. Documentary-style interviews, no script.

“People who are facing criminal charges don't have time to vet five different firms. They need to watch one video and know. Chris built that video.”
Tony McGinnis · Spark Blue (agency partner)
