In 2025, high-profile trials, political firestorms, and blockbuster corporate battles didn’t just dominate courtrooms—they dominated Google, TikTok, and every search engine in between. From Alec Baldwin’s dismissed manslaughter case to Elon Musk’s regulatory battles, people weren’t just looking for “a lawyer near me.” After analyzing search volume data, media mentions, social engagement, and legal industry reports from BTI Consulting, Legal Brand Marketing, and The Lawyers Global, we’ve assembled the definitive ranking of 2025’s most-searched legal talent.
