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.

What Facebook ads for lawyers cost in 2026

Cost varies by tort and competition. Across MTAA's tracked campaigns, qualified leads currently blend to $43.36 and signed cases to $60.39, with per-tort case cost ranging $106 to $1,225. See the market data for observed campaign benchmarks and their methodology. Results vary; cost per signed retainer is not guaranteed.

Compliance

Legal advertising on Meta has to satisfy Meta's advertising policies (including its personal-attribute rules) and each state's bar rules on attorney advertising, and every lead needs documented consent. The attorney approves every disclaimer, image and landing page before launch; MTAA handles the policy posture and documents chain-of-custody on every lead. The minimum campaign budget is $25,000, including all fees, with no fixed spending timeline. Pricing is actual Facebook and Instagram ad spend plus a 15% management fee, a one-time $1,000 setup fee per tort, and $100 per signed retainer when CloudIntake is used. The management fee is earned only as advertising money is spent. Unspent client funds can be refunded at any time for any reason, after accounting for fees already earned or owed.
