Law firm website in Alba Iulia, with a page for families of Aiud inmates
Whoever looks for a lawyer in Alba Iulia does not necessarily live in the county. In Aiud, a little over 30 kilometres away, there is a prison where people from many parts of the country serve their sentences, and applications concerning the enforcement of their sentences are heard by the courts of Alba County: the Aiud Court of First Instance and, above it, the Alba County Tribunal, here in Alba Iulia.
Most of the time, the person looking for the lawyer is the family: a mother from Moldavia, a wife from Oltenia, a brother working abroad. They have been to Aiud only as visitors and do not know what a lawyer can do for their relative. At MPO Web Studio we build websites for Alba Iulia law offices that explain this soberly, before the first phone call. You get the demo free of charge; a simple request on WhatsApp is enough.

The prison is in Aiud; applications also reach Alba Iulia
For someone serving a sentence, many of the applications that matter are heard where the person is held, not where they were convicted. An application for release on parole is decided by the court of first instance in whose district the place of detention lies, so in Aiud, and a challenge against that decision goes to the Alba County Tribunal. Challenges against the rulings of the judge supervising the deprivation of liberty also go to the Aiud court. A family on the other side of the country learns all this in pieces, from short phone calls with the inmate or from other families met during visits. An Alba Iulia law office that works on the enforcement of sentences can state on its website, in a few lines, which courts are involved and which kinds of applications it assists with. Not a word about the chances of an application: the family first wants to know which door to knock on.
The lawyer's website is read by the family, not by the person in the case file
The person held at Aiud does not search for lawyers on Google. The family does, from home, in the evening, with few certainties in hand: the name of the prison, perhaps the case number, whatever their relative managed to tell them on the phone. For them, the first text on an Alba Iulia lawyer's website has to clarify two things that are not obvious. First, that the lawyer represents the person in detention and that this person's consent matters, even if the family pays the fee. Second, what relatives far away can do: send the documents they have, share what they know about their relative's situation and leave the discussion of the case to the lawyer and the client. Said plainly, these things spare the family false expectations, and spare you calls in which you are asked for what you cannot do.
A page for the family looking for a lawyer from hundreds of kilometres away
On the website we propose, families have their own page, linked directly from the home page. It sets out briefly which applications concerning the enforcement of sentences you take on, which courts hear them, which documents are useful to send you from the start, for example the conviction judgment if the family has it, and how the lawyer keeps in touch with the client held at Aiud. It says just as plainly what cannot be learned from the website: how long an application takes and how it will end. Whoever calls after reading the page no longer asks “can you get him out?”, but which documents to send you. The tone stays sober and free of promises, as the profession's rules require, and you check every legal sentence yourself. The demo takes one WhatsApp message and costs nothing. Budgets start at €290, the work takes a few days, and the price includes one round of revisions and a 7-day warranty after we hand the site over.
Frequently asked questions
Families of inmates at Aiud call me from all over the country. How do I say on the website that I work on the enforcement of sentences without it sounding like advertising?+
As information about your work: a page that states which kinds of applications you take on, for example release on parole or challenges against the rulings of the supervising judge, and which courts in Alba County hear them. We don't write how many applications were granted and we don't compare you with other lawyers. The family reading it is looking for one thing only: whether this is your field.
An inmate's mother calls me and wants to know whether she can sign the contract herself. What do we write on the website?+
The principle, not the solution for every case: the lawyer assists the person in detention, and how the contract is concluded, including when a family member signs it, is something you clarify at the first conversation. The page also says that the family can pay the fee and send documents, but that you discuss the case with the client. You approve every sentence before it goes public.
How do I explain to families that I talk to the client directly, at the prison, not through them?+
In a short paragraph: the lawyer has the right to communicate with the detained client, and their conversations are confidential. This reassures the people at home and explains why they don't learn from you details their relative did not want to share. How and how often you travel to Aiud is for you to write, according to the way you work.
I also have clients in Alba Iulia with ordinary cases. Won't a page for inmates' families confuse them?+
Not if it stays in its place: the home page presents the office and all its practice areas, and the page for families is one of them, with a clear title, for those who look for it. Nobody lands there by mistake. Prices start at €290, and we send you the total for all the pages you choose in writing before we start work.
