Website for a Slatina Law Practice, Read by Both Lawyers Before Launch
The door of a Slatina practice sometimes carries a single name, even though two lawyers work inside: the principal and an associate lawyer, or two principals who have joined their practices. Both are registered with the Olt Bar (Baroul Olt), they share the cases and stand in for each other at hearings, and clients from the county naturally remember whichever of them first answered the phone.
When a practice like that builds a website, the text speaks for both of you. What it says about your practice areas concerns your colleague too, and what it says about theirs concerns you. That's why, at MPO Web Studio, the first version of the site is for the two of you: you read it together, each through your own eyes, and only after that does it become the page clients from Olt see.

When the colleague turns up at the hearing, not the lawyer the client spoke to
A Slatina practice's cases don't all sit in one building, and sometimes two hearings fall on the same morning: one at Tribunalul Olt, the other at the first-instance court in Caracal. Your colleague, who knows the file, then goes to one of them. For lawyers that's normal; for the person from Corabia who has only spoken to you, not always. They see a different lawyer in the corridor and wonder whether their case has been handed off. A website that says clearly, in advance, that both of you know the practice's cases and that either of you may attend a hearing spares them needless worry. Only that sentence has to ring true for both of you, and only the colleague reading it beside you can confirm that.
Formal or familiar, “we” or “I”: the tone is decided by two
When one of you writes the site alone, the text ends up sounding like its author: first person singular, with that person's formality or directness, their own practice area listed first. The colleague then reads it and doesn't recognise themselves. In Slatina, where the same practice sees people from the city, from the villages of Olt and company managers, the way you address them isn't a detail: in Romanian, an older person from Balș naturally expects the formal “dumneavoastră”, while a manager is fine with a briefer tone. The choice is made once, for both of you, and kept on every page. That's also when you settle whether the site says “we” or “I”, who appears first and how a case's route between the two of you is described. A reading for two brings these mismatches to light before anyone outside sees them.
The first version is for you and your colleague, not for clients
The free demo reaches you on WhatsApp, and the first thing we ask is that you open it together, you and your colleague. Each of you reads all of it, not just your own part: the introduction, the practice areas, the sentence about who attends hearings, the form of address. Note separately what doesn't sound like you, then put your comments together and send them in one go: only one round of revisions is priced in, so it's worth having both sets of comments arrive at once. The texts stay sober and informative, without comparing you with other lawyers and without promises about any case. Starting at €290, you'll have the site a few days after you've agreed on the texts, and launch comes with a 7-day guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Clients from Olt know my name, not my colleague's. How do we say on the site that he may attend some hearings?+
With a simple sentence on the page about how the practice works: both lawyers know the cases, and when two hearings overlap, the client may be represented by the colleague who knows their file, as agreed in your contract. Both names and photos sit beside it. Someone who sees a different lawyer in the corridor than the one they spoke to has no reason to worry, because they read this beforehand.
I address clients formally; my colleague is more direct. How should the site speak to people?+
Choose one form together and we'll keep it on every page. For a Slatina practice with clients of all ages, from the city and the villages, we usually suggest the formal Romanian “dumneavoastră”, with short sentences so that politeness doesn't turn stiff. If you prefer a warmer tone, we write it that way, but the same everywhere: a site that's familiar on one page and formal on the next looks written by two people who never read each other.
My colleague hardly uses WhatsApp. Can he read the demo too and give feedback without joining the conversation?+
Yes. The link opens in any browser, on a phone or a computer, with no account and no apps. Your colleague can jot his comments on paper or in an email, and you send them to us together with yours in a single message. He doesn't need to write to us directly; reading is enough.
We'll both read the demo, so there'll be more comments than usual. Do they all fit into the round of revisions?+
Yes, if they arrive together. The round of revisions covers everything you send us in a single message about the demo pages — texts, order, headings, tone — however many points there are. Anything after that, such as a second round or a new page, is paid separately, and you'll learn its price on WhatsApp first; the site itself starts at €290.
