$2,275 Signed Car Accident Cases For A Solo Attorney In Arizona

CLS Injury Lawyers is a one-attorney firm competing against seven-figure billboard budgets in Phoenix. WEBRIS turned the founder's phone and a weekly script habit into a Meta Ads engine. The result: $220 leads and $2,275 signed MVA cases on $15,000 a month.

The Problem

Arizona is one of the most expensive personal injury markets in the country.

The billboard firms spend seven figures a month. A single Google click for "car accident lawyer" in Phoenix costs more than a nice dinner, and the first result takes most of the calls.

Christopher Sullivan opened CLS Law in 2021 after leaving a large firm. One attorney. No billboard budget. No TV.

He did have one thing most solo attorneys do not: he was already comfortable on camera. He was posting short videos to TikTok on his own, for free, with no plan behind them.

Here's what wasn't working:

Read that again. He had the hardest asset to buy (a lawyer who films) and none of the system around it.

The Solution

We kept it simple. We did not try to out-produce the billboard firms. We out-published them.

Every week, WEBRIS sends Christopher a batch of scripts. He films them on his phone, on time, every time, wherever he happens to be: his office, his car, a parking garage.

That discipline is the whole strategy. Meta rewards volume and variety of creative, and a solo attorney who films every week out-produces firms ten times his size.

The content never looks staged, so it never feels like an ad. That is why it works in a feed full of polished billboard-firm commercials.

What We Ran

How The System Works

We cut, caption, and launch 10 new ads a month with lead forms attached.
4
Feed back
Signed cases go back to Meta as conversions so it finds more people like them.

monthly ad spend

At $15,000 a month, the account produces roughly six to seven signed MVA cases a month for a firm with one attorney.

I'll be honest about what that number means. A signed MVA case in Arizona is worth many multiples of $2,275 in fees. The campaign pays for itself on the first case or two each month. Everything after that is margin.

Compare that to the alternatives CLS was looking at:

What a solo firm faces on paid search

  • ❌ Google clicks priced for seven-figure firms
  • ❌ Second position gets the callers who do not have a case
  • ❌ Budget gone in days, not weeks
  • ❌ No way to win on spend

What the Meta system gives them

  • ✅ $220 leads with claim details attached
  • ✅ Creative volume beats creative budget
  • ✅ Cost per case the firm controls, not the auction
  • ✅ Runs every month on one attorney's phone

FAQs

Most firms should plan to invest at least $10,000 per month in ad spend to give Meta’s algorithm enough data to find winning audiences and scale. Lower budgets limit testing, slow optimization, and prevent campaigns from reaching their full potential.

Most firms begin seeing leads within the first 7–14 days, with performance stabilizing and improving over the first 30–60 days as winning hooks, videos, and audiences are identified.

WEBRIS Facebook Ads management starts at $3,500 per month, which includes creative strategy, scripting, video editing, A/B testing, funnel setup, and ongoing optimization. Pricing scales based on creative volume, number of campaigns, and practice areas.

Successful Facebook campaigns require 10–20 new video ads per month to avoid creative fatigue and allow for constant testing. WEBRIS handles scripting, editing, and production support so firms don’t need to film constantly to keep campaigns profitable.
