Dan Jaffe is the founder and CEO of LawLytics, a popular website marketing platform for small law firms. Dan was a practicing lawyer before he became an internet entrepreneur with his first venture, which he sold before he started LawLytics in 2012. LawLytics was acquired by the Australia-based Smokeball-LEAP-InfoTrack Group in 2021. Dan is still growing LawLytics as its leader of the acquired company.

LawLytics is a website platform for small law firms who want a successful website but don’t want to overpay an agency or struggle with software that isn’t built for them. LawLytics has templates, designs, and lead-generation tools specifically designed for lawyers to generate business efficiently.
