Meet the people behind your firm’s growth.

Matt Green is a husband, father, terrible golfer, and the co-founder of – and VP of Innovation at – Juris Digital. Matt fell in love with SEO as a marketing channel immediately for two reasons:

• It’s inherently competitive. Who doesn’t want to be ranked #1?
• It’s non-interruptive. SEO is the marketing channel for people who think TV ads and billboards make the world worse.

In 2011 Matt was hired by Casey to be a blog writer at Ethical SEO Consulting. Within a year, Matt was running the operations of the company, doing everything from hiring and managing employees to refining the company’s services offerings, to closing new sales.

Around 2015 Matt and Casey decided that they could achieve their goals for the company while doing the most good by serving exclusively law firms. That’s when Juris Digital was born (Matt came up with the name, for better or worse).

Over the last dozen years (time files!) Matt has established a reputation for being one the most effective legal marketers in the world. As VP of Innovation at Juris Digital Matt sets the company’s strategic direction, which includes – in no small part – the tactics it deploys in service of its client’s goals.

Matt doesn’t believe in silver bullets or short-term thinking. He believes that doing good work is its own reward – and that it happens to be the best path to long-term business success. He does his best to lead with empathy and compassion while helping to elevate the performance of those around him.

Matt is most passionate about the convergence of SEO with more traditional marketing concepts like branding, positioning, and content design. Matt is a content creator who deploys his skills in writing, curation, design, and UX – all wrapped up in his deep understanding of SEO – to keep pushing Juris Digital and its clients toward their goals.

Notable Works & Accomplishments:

• Author of hundreds of blogs, articles, and pages on JurisDigital.com

  • “This was one of the most insightful studies that came out in 2018 and totally changed how we analyzed our client’s rankings moving forward.” – Colan Nielsen, VP of Local Search at SterlingSky

Josh is one of our Senior Marketing Consultants and also serves as our Director Of Sales. He and his team are often the first point of contact at Juris Digital for Attorneys and Marketing Directors who are looking to grow their business.

While Josh’s online success and digital knowledge goes way back to his Web Design and coding classes in the early 2000s, it wasn’t until just over a decade ago that he poured his full focus into digital marketing and helping businesses grow.

He deepened this experience while working for a massive Digital Marketing Agency that serves the Automotive industry’s fast-paced retail world. Then, in 2019, Josh immersed himself into digital marketing for small to mid-sized Law Firms with a goal of helping to build their brands, gain visibility online, and ultimately grow their businesses sustainably.

Josh truly enjoys building strong long-term relationships with new clients by making sure the right marketing strategy is in place for their firm at the start. Knowing that Juris Digital is not a fit for every Law Firm, Josh works deliberately to ensure the agency is hired by the right clients. 

In his personal time, Josh enjoys spending it with his wonderful wife and two amazing children. They’re all obsessed with the outdoors and take every opportunity to go on long walks, hiking, canoeing, biking, camping, and any type of exploring. For some reason, Josh also enjoys punishing himself by golfing as often as he can get out. Fortunately, his golf game is steadily improving with age.

As an avid gear-head, and someone who loves remodeling work, Josh’s personal passion is working with his hands and problem solving in his spare time. Whether it’s building engines and race cars, a new kitchen, or fixing almost anything – he continues to develop and strengthen these skills for fun and personal growth. This experience has also allowed him to use these skills and help others when in need.

Janine is a Website Designer at Juris Digital. What started as a hobby eventually grew into a career. It was just for fun, something she never thought too seriously about. But creativity has a funny way of finding its path, proving that sometimes the things we enjoy the most quietly shape the paths we’re meant to take.

Beyond design, she’s a natural tech enthusiast. She has always been fascinated by gadgets, technology, and how things work behind the screen. When designer’s block hits, Janine resets by playing games because sometimes stepping away for a while is exactly what sparks the next idea. And when she’s not designing, she’s exploring the world.

Working from home has also given her something she values most: more time with her family. Being able to pursue the work she loves while staying close to the people who matter most is something she is deeply grateful for.

At the core of his work is a simple but relentless commitment: deliver the best possible product, every time. That standard drives everything from the biggest architectural decisions to the smallest lines of code.

When he’s not keeping the digital wheels turning, he’s doing the most important job of all — being a dad to his two kids.

I am a seasoned professional with over a decade of experience in customer service and client-facing support, before transitioning into Executive Assistant work supporting CEOs, leadership teams, customers, clients, and internal stakeholders in fast-paced environments. I enjoy work that sits at the intersection of people, structure, and problem-solving where clear communication, strong organization, and calm execution matter most. My background in customer service shaped how I handle pressure, manage competing priorities, and maintain a strong sense of empathy and clarity in every interaction. In my EA work, I enjoy bringing order to complexity, streamlining workflows, and supporting teams in a way that keeps operations running smoothly and efficiently, while also incorporating a creative and design-aware mindset in how systems and processes are structured.

Outside of work, I enjoy a balance of creativity, adventure, and quiet moments that help me recharge. Long motorcycle rides clear my mind, creative projects give me space to explore new ideas, and spending time with my daughter, partner, and our three cats and dogs keeps me grounded and grateful. I’m naturally drawn to structure and calm organization, but I value warmth, flexibility, and creating spaces that feel comfortable and human. I also love self-help books and personal growth, always looking for small ways to learn, reflect, and improve. Whether it’s discovering a new coffee shop or simply slowing down to enjoy everyday moments, I appreciate experiences that feel meaningful, intentional, and genuine.
