Because stalking their Avvo profile just doesn’t give you enough material for your group chat.
1- Instant Vibes Check 🎧
Before you trust someone with your future settlement (and your darkest secrets), don’t you want to know if their inspirational quotes are as cringey as you suspect? Or if they follow a “Podcast Bro” you can’t stand?
Nothing says “trustworthy legal counsel” like seeing your attorney drop fire emojis under Instamodel photos and retweeting controversial political posts.
2- You’ll Know If They’re a Secret Influencer 🤳
If your attorney is suddenly in a reel, giving bedroom eyes and sharing tips on “The Top 3 Mistakes After a Car Crash,” you’re allowed to bookmark the page. Extra points if the law firm page tags him in “firm family BBQ” photos where he looks absolutely sunburnt and miserable.
3- It’s the Easiest Way to Gauge Their Mood 😬
If he posts gym selfies at 6am, he’s ready to fight for you. If you see three back-to-back photos of him and his cat snuggled up on his Restoration Hardware couch, maybe wait to send that 800-word email about your MRI results.
4- Soft Launching Your Own Drama 👀
If you accidentally end up in his story (or he likes one of your posts), congratulations! You’ve just upgraded your status from “client” to “potential main character.” Bonus: it makes it easier to subtweet your legal stress.
5- Gathering Evidence for Your Next Unlicensed Therapy Session in the Group Chat 💬
Let’s be honest: half the fun is reporting back. “He did post a #MotivationMonday quote after ignoring my last three texts… the audacity! I hate him! But I also love him. Help.”
You’ll never run out of material.
6- The Subtle Power Play ♟️
Because only an emotionally intelligent and just slightly unhinged client follows their attorney, and then waits for him to follow back (or, even better, not follow back, and just silently watch your stories like a true lurker).
7- You’ll Find Out Who He Really Likes to Represent 🕵🏼♀️
If he’s commenting “proud of you!” under yet another client’s car accident settlement post, you know exactly where you stand in the firm’s emotional pecking order. #NotBitterJustBored
Pro Tip:
If you wouldn’t want him to see your Finsta, he’s definitely seen your Finsta.
