7. Paige Sparks
Instagram handle: @_paigesparks
Explain the Law & Show You Know It Inside Out
Paige’s account is one of our favorite examples of how to teach the law without making it feel like a lecture. She talks straight to the camera and breaks down big lawsuits in the news with total clarity. It’s clear she’s commenting not from the sidelines but from experience.
She also shares what it’s really like to practice law, like dealing with opposing counsel or navigating the behind-the-scenes stuff you don’t see in a headline. It all comes off confident and grounded, because she knows what she’s talking about. If you want to use your content to both educate and establish real authority, Paige’s approach is worth studying.

Instagram handle: @amydunntx
Comment on Legal Topics People Care About
Amy Dunn has a knack for turning legal stories into content that’s engaging and informative. She talks straight to camera and breaks down the law and how accident cases work, including complex ones like truck crashes that most people don’t understand until they’re living through it.
She also taps into consumer topics that pique interest. She’ll explain why it’s so hard to cancel gym memberships, break down a fast food lawsuit involving a wrong order that sent a man to the hospital, or share a heads-up about dangers kids face on popular video game platforms. It’s smart, relevant, and all tied back to her niche in Texas personal injury law. If you’re looking for a way to engage while showing your value, Amy’s account is a great example.
9. Eric Falk
Instagram handle: @falktalkslaw
Be the Lawyer They Remember
Eric’s account is good at getting attention and being memorable. Sometimes he’s reacting to sketchy ads or viral videos about accidents and calling out the bad info. Other times, he’s pointing out real hazards in his Florida community, breaking down how insurance companies operate, or explaining the legal ripple effects of situations most people overlook. It’s entertaining, memorable, and backed by someone who clearly knows Florida’s personal injury space.
And the branding is dialed in. Between “I Give a Falk,” “Who Falked Up,” “That’s Falked Up,” and his “Hey Falkers” openers, he’s built something people actually remember. It’s sharp, consistent, and supports the message. If you want to create content that shows your value and sticks in people’s heads, Eric’s doing it right.
