Are you a lawyer who is looking to create a better social media presence? In this engaging episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Jim and Tyson converse with Julio Oyhanarte, the world's most followed immigration lawyer. Julio shares his journey of leveraging social media to educate and connect with immigrants on U.S. immigration processes. 

Social media can be leveraged by lawyers to not only boost a business presence but attract followers and potential clients. For Julio, authenticity is necessary for success as a lawyer on social media. You need to present exactly as you are so those who want to connect and work with you are not being fooled. 

Gaining a following on social media also involves good timing and effective content strategies to do well. It is important to decide what works for you. Is it short form content? Do you prefer longer form videos chatting about certain legal topics? You need to think about how to use social media to your benefit.

Julio provides some tips to lawyers who are trying to utilize Tiktok. It is difficult to capture people’s attention in this day and age. Because of this, you need to get people’s attention right away. Julio emphasizes the need to think about the first frame. Think about how it looks, what you say and what is in the background. You need to offer them something that they want or maybe something they should learn. Hook people to get them interested and then provide the important content.
