Overall, between 2020 and 2024, spending on all legal services advertisements increased approximately 39%, while the overall quantity of ads decreased by approximately 4%. This decrease is due in large part to the increased cost of digital advertising, which led to a more than 50% reduction in the quantity of digital ads for legal services, while spending on those ads increased 84%.
However, the quantity of television ads peaked in 2023 with more than 16.4 million TV ads for legal services, approximately a 44% increase when compared with 2017.
