Colorado Searching For a Lawyer

A new study from Florida personal injury lawyers Anidjar & Levine determined which states are most likely to search for a lawyer. The study analyzed 150 of the most populous cities in the United States and the number of times each city Google searched a variety of terms related to lawyers.

Search criteria included:

• motorcycle accident lawyer
• personal injury lawyer
• lawyer
• best auto accident attorney
• immigration attorney
• medical malpractice lawyer
• how much do lawyer
• rocket lawyer

You may have just asked yourself, "What is a rocket lawyer?" In this case, a rocket lawyer has nothing to do with aerospace or NASA. According to bootsuite.com, "Rocket Lawyer is an online platform that has a team of licensed attorneys who offer legal advice and aim to resolve all your legal needs. Rocket Lawyer has assisted over 20 million consumers with various legal matters, and it is now a leading online law firm."

Results from the study by Anidjar & Levine indicate the two Colorado cities most likely to Google search for a lawyer are:

Looking at the results of the study, Denver, with a population of 713,252, had a total of 29,062 searches. That would equal 407 searches for every 10,000 residents.
