Frequently asked questions
What should a lawyer put in a TikTok caption?
Lead with the real-world stakes for the viewer, add a plain-English summary of the point, invite a specific comment like their state or situation, and include a short 'not legal advice' disclaimer once so the hook stays clean.
Do legal TikToks need a disclaimer in the caption?
A brief 'this isn't legal advice, consult an attorney about your situation' is standard practice and protects you, but keep it to one line so it doesn't bury the hook. Check your state bar's advertising rules for anything specific to your license.
How long should a legal TikTok caption be?
Front-load the hook in the first line, since TikTok truncates captions. One or two tight sentences plus a CTA and a couple of niche hashtags like #legaltok or #knowyourrights is usually enough.
