Combs Waterkotte's Marketing, SEO, & Web Design Case Study
Criminal defense attorney Christopher Combs contacted Hexxen after having terrible experiences with previous marketing, SEO, and web design agencies, who largely took his money, outsourced everything, and did not give his firm the attention it deserves. With Hexxen's help, Chris was able to grow his business and add another attorney to his team. Eventually, he trusted Hexxen with his firm's re-branding and new website when he joined forces with renowned St. Louis criminal defense attorney Steven Waterkotte to form Combs Waterkotte. Hexxen's continued efforts establish the firm as a Missouri-wide leader in criminal, DWI/DUI, and order of protection defense.
