lawyer satisfaction survey
Feedback Survey
Legal clients make referrals based on experience, not just outcome. A client whose case resolved well but who felt uninformed throughout the process is far less likely to refer than one who felt genuinely guided. Deploy this automation and you find out which clients felt which way, right after the case closes.

Why this automation matters
Lawyer satisfaction surveys serve a different purpose than most professional services feedback because the legal relationship ends at case close in a way that retainer-based relationships do not. Once a matter concludes, the natural opportunity to strengthen the relationship for future referrals is in the immediate aftermath, when the client's experience of working with the firm is still present and their willingness to recommend is at its highest. Deploy FeedbackRobot's lawyer satisfaction automation and the timing is precise. Within 24 hours of matter close, a short survey goes to the client. It asks about communication quality, expectations management, and the overall experience of working with the firm. Clients who respond positively receive a follow-up with a direct link to share their experience online. Clients who flag a concern are connected privately with a relationship partner before they find other channels. For firms tracking satisfaction across multiple attorneys and practice areas, the comparison data shows where the client experience is strongest and where it needs attention. Transactional matters often score differently from contested matters. Litigation clients often have different satisfaction drivers than corporate advisory clients. The data makes those differences visible and manageable.

Common questions
How is this different from the attorney satisfaction survey template?
Functionally near-identical, this one is framed at the firm level for matters generally, while the attorney template is scoped specifically to individual case outcomes.
Does this work for firms handling both litigation and transactional work?
Yes, the questions focus on communication and expectations rather than case type specifics, so they apply across practice areas.
What happens with a negative response?
It routes to a relationship partner for direct, private follow-up before the client considers posting publicly.
Can I compare satisfaction across practice areas?
Yes, if matter data includes practice area, the dashboard breaks satisfaction trends out by that dimension.
