Exhibit A
Criminal Defense Lawyers work in Lansing
Lansing carries steady demand for criminal defense work. Ingham County's courts sit in the city, so the searches come from people facing charges in Lansing itself and from the townships and suburbs around it. The people searching are mostly individuals, not companies, and they search by charge and by urgency: OWI, domestic assault, drug possession, warrants. Paid search in this trade is bought by firms bidding on charge terms and on county court terms, and the bids run against a field of solo practitioners and small partnerships rather than a national brand. Most of the firms competing are owner operators, which means the firms that publish consistently hold the ground that the ones buying ads only rent.
