Exhibit A
Criminal Defense Lawyers work in Vancouver WA
Vancouver WA sits across the river from Portland, and the demand for criminal defense work here follows the county courthouse, the jail and the state line. Searches come from people who live in Clark County and from people who were stopped or cited while passing through. The firms competing for those searches are mostly owner operators and small partnerships, with a handful of larger firms running paid ads on the higher value terms. Paid search on criminal defense keywords in this market is expensive per click because a single case is worth a lot, so the paid listings at the top of the results are usually the firms with the biggest budgets. That leaves the organic results and the AI answers as the place where a smaller Vancouver firm can be found without bidding against them. The demand is steady and it is local, and it is driven by people who need an answer quickly.
