$250M+ managed Meta ad spend · 600+ plaintiff law firms · 100+ mass torts · 2M+ leads since 2015
Facebook and Instagram ads let law firms reach potential claimants by behavior and interest at scale — the dominant channel for mass tort and high-volume PI. MTAA has run Meta ads for lawyers since 2015 ($250M+ in spend, Meta Business Partner), currently at a blended $111.46 per qualified lead and $340.94 per signed case across 9 active tort campaigns.
Why Meta works for plaintiff firms
Most people who qualify for a mass tort aren't searching Google for it — they don't know a case exists. Facebook and Instagram surface the opportunity to the right audience by behavior and demographics, which is why Meta consistently beats search on cost-per-case for volume torts.
