Exhibit A
Criminal Defense Lawyers work in Grand Rapids
Grand Rapids has a steady base of criminal defense work because Kent County keeps a full court calendar and the city and its suburbs hold a large population within a short drive of downtown. The searches come from people facing charges in Grand Rapids itself and from the surrounding townships, and they cluster around arrest, arraignment and the first court date. The firms competing for those searches are mostly owner run practices and small partnerships rather than franchises, which means the search results are made up of individual attorneys and firm names rather than national brands. Paid search in this trade in Grand Rapids is bought by firms bidding on charge specific terms, so the organic results above and below those ads are where a firm can hold ground without paying for every click. The demand is there every week of the year.
