Kayce Sadler, founder. You work with me directly.
Longview is an industrial city with a legal market to match. Eastman Chemical’s Texas operations, the rail yards, manufacturing plants, oilfield service companies working the old East Texas Oil Field around Kilgore, and heavy truck traffic on I-20 all produce work injuries, wrecks and employment disputes. At the same time, families across Gregg, Harrison, Upshur and Rusk counties need help with estates, land and custody.
We’re an agency serving South Louisiana and Texas, based in Lafayette, just down I-10. We won’t pretend to be from Longview. We take one firm per practice area in each market, and that is how we work across East Texas without a conflict.
What makes Longview different
Texas is the only state where private employers can opt out of workers’ compensation entirely. So when someone is hurt at a plant or on a rig, the path may be a comp claim or a lawsuit against a non-subscribing employer, and people search for help both ways. Firms that explain the difference plainly meet those clients early.
Longview firms work across county lines. The Gregg County courthouse is downtown, but the city spills into Harrison County, and clients come from Kilgore, White Oak, Hallsville, Gladewater and Marshall. The Eastern District of Texas has divisions in nearby Marshall and Tyler, and Marshall’s federal courthouse is known nationally for patent cases.
Longview also competes with Tyler, about 40 miles west. People searching here will sometimes see Tyler firms in the map pack and AI answers, especially for specialized practice areas. A Longview firm that’s clear about its location, the courts it appears in and the cases it handles keeps those searches from drifting down I-20.
How people look for a lawyer in Longview
Searches are short and specific: “lawyer Longview TX,” “work injury lawyer Longview,” “Kilgore estate attorney,” “custody lawyer Gregg County.” Many people here hear about a lawyer from someone they trust, then look the firm up before calling, so the profile and reviews have to back up the referral.
AI tools are now part of that check. When someone asks ChatGPT or Google about a Longview firm, the answer comes from your profile, reviews, directories and website. If they agree with each other, the description is accurate. If they don’t, the AI may skip you.

Social media (add-on)
An optional extra, after the core work: simple, compliant community posts.
Where we’d start in Longview
- Clean up the profile. Categories, practice areas, hours and photos, with the same details on every listing.
- Explain non-subscriber claims. A plain, attorney-reviewed page on how workplace injuries can be handled in Texas.
- Back up your referrals. Recent reviews and a clear bio page so referred clients find what they were told about.
- Check AI answers. We ask ChatGPT and Google about Longview firms in your practice area and fix what’s missing.
One firm per practice area, and the Texas rules come first
We work with one firm per practice area in each market. Ask whether your practice area is open in Longview.
Texas sets its own rules for lawyer advertising in Part VII of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. Under Rule 7.04, many ads and solicitation communications are filed with the State Bar of Texas Advertising Review Committee unless exempt. Our approach: factual statements only, no promises about outcomes, a flag on anything that may need filing, and your sign-off before publishing. Compliance remains your firm’s responsibility.
Longview law firm marketing questions
Do you work with firms in Kilgore, Marshall and Gladewater?
Yes. Your profile, pages and listings are built around the towns and counties you truly serve.
Our firm gets most clients by referral. Does online marketing still matter?
Yes, because most referred clients look you up before calling. If your profile is thin or your reviews are old, a referral can slip to the next name. We make sure what people find matches what they heard.
Do Texas advertising rules apply to our website and ads?
Yes, your site and your ads alike. We keep claims to verifiable facts and mark anything that might need a filing so your firm can decide before it runs.
How do AI tools decide which Longview firms to mention?
No one publishes the formula. In practice they lean on your Google profile, reviews, directories and your own pages. We make those sources consistent so the description of your firm is accurate.
Do you work with Tyler firms too?
We have a Tyler page as well. We take one firm per practice area per market, so we never help two firms that compete for the same clients.
