Exhibit A
Criminal Defense Lawyers work in Santa Clara
Santa Clara sits in the middle of the county courthouse traffic, with the Hall of Justice and the county jail a short drive north, so the searches for defense work here come from people who need someone quickly. The firms competing for that attention range from solo defenders working out of small offices near El Camino Real to larger criminal practices with Santa Clara County pages, and the paid search around DUI and domestic violence terms carries real cost per click because the cases carry real fees. Franchises are rare in this trade. Most of the practices are owner operators, which means the website is usually the only marketing asset, and the searches that matter are the ones typed at night after an arrest.
