Michael M. Day Law Firm Case Study
MMD Law is a boutique personal injury law firm based in Atlanta, Georgia. Unlike billboard law firms handling 15,000 cases a year, Michael Day personally speaks with every single client — and that's the differentiator. GrowthHit was brought in after a website redesign caused CVR to collapse from 16.5% to 3.1%, and tasked with rebuilding the conversion engine that drove the firm's signed case volume.

What MMD Law Needed
- Conversion rate recovery, not a new design. A 2023 website overhaul reduced CVR from 16.5% to 3.1% — a 5X drop that cost the firm dozens of signed cases. The new site looked polished. It just didn't convert. GrowthHit's job was to diagnose exactly what had been lost and systematically rebuild it.
Lessons from helping MMD Law Grow
A better-looking website isn't always a better-converting one. Here's what the data told us:
A modern redesign can be a conversion disaster in disguise.
MMD Law's 2023 website looked exactly like what a premium law firm should look like. It also caused CVR to fall from 16.5% to 3.1% — wiping out years of conversion optimization in a single launch. The lesson: design and conversion rate are not the same thing. Every element that made the old site "feel dated" was also doing conversion work that the new site failed to replace.
In high-stakes industries, phone is king — don't bury it.
Personal injury law is not ecommerce. The customer has just been in an accident. They are not browsing. They want to speak to a human, immediately. When the website de-emphasised phone calls in favor of a sleeker form experience, the firm's best lead source dried up. Restoring phone call visibility was one of the fastest wins in the engagement.
