Brand positioning
Build category-defining law firm marketing positioning that out-thinks bigger competitors. Website, social, content, PR. Brand Awareness.
Piedmont Avenue Consulting is a Bay Area firm that specializes in law firm marketing for San Francisco businesses. We work directly with owners and operators — boutique litigation firms, estate planning and trust attorneys, business and corporate counsel — through six-month engagements that go from strategy to implementation.
San Francisco is a market where every law firm of size already has marketing — and the boutique and mid-size firms have to outsmart, not outspend. The operators who thrive long-term build category-defining brand positioning, retention-grade customer experience, and a marketing engine that compounds over years — not a paid-ads strategy that runs out of fuel the moment the budget dips.
We work with boutique litigation firms, estate planning and trust attorneys, business and corporate counsel, family law and employment practices. Each engagement starts the same way: a free 30-minute interview to identify where the actual leverage is — the unit economics gap, the brand confusion, the operational drag — not where conventional marketing wisdom says it should be.
Our consulting is built on three pillars: brand awareness, customer loyalty, and lead generation. With those as the foundation, we advise on website, social, email, technology integration, PR, and event marketing — whichever ones move the needle for your specific business.
Engagements run six months minimum. Real changes to a law firm marketing business don't happen in 30-day sprints — they happen through sustained, accountable execution.

Want to see the full scope for your San Francisco business? The interview gets specific.
Most San Francisco consultants offer one of two things: deep local expertise or polished playbooks. We bring both — and the implementation muscle to actually execute them.
David Mitroff was born in San Francisco and has operated Piedmont Avenue Consulting from Oakland for over a decade. This isn't a satellite office. The local network — from UC Berkeley Extension to Alameda County Bar Association — runs deep.
David holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with additional coursework in business, law, and marketing. That credential stack is unusual for consulting firms of our size, and it shapes how we approach customer psychology, retention, and behavioral marketing.
Six-month minimum engagement — because real results take sustained effort. We don't just plan; we coordinate vendors, integrate technology, and train your team. See our approach.
Through workshops, MCLE programs, keynotes, and the Professional Connector community, David has educated over 35,000 business owners across the Bay Area and internationally.
Keynote engagements in Dubai, London, Morocco, Korea, Bangalore, and beyond. Plus a dedicated U.S. market entry practice for foreign companies expanding into California.
Piedmont Avenue Consulting is an approved California Continuing Legal Education provider. David spent six years with LexisNexis working alongside top SF law firms before founding the firm — a credential set you won't find at most marketing shops.
