GA Personal Injury Lawyer
Overview
It’s not easy running a personal injury law firm today. Every month, new firms enter the market. Big advertisers dominate billboards, TV, and search results. The online landscape shifts constantly, making it hard to know what really works and what doesn’t.
That’s where Malchow Johnson Injury Lawyers once found themselves — winning cases, earning trust, but frustrated that their online presence didn’t reflect the strength of their reputation. They knew people were searching for help after serious accidents, but too many weren’t finding them soon enough. What they wanted was steady, reliable growth — more qualified calls, more strong cases, and more time to focus on helping injured people rebuild their lives.
After years of underwhelming results from other marketing vendors, Malchow Johnson Injury Lawyers found their turning point with Accelerate Now. The switch was seamless—and the impact was swift. With a powerful new website, top Google rankings across four markets, and over 300 videos produced, the firm now brings in 50+ digital leads monthly without relying on referrals. Backed by strong SEO, weekly content, and custom AI integration, Malchow Johnson just had its two best years ever—and they’re not slowing down.
From Frustrated to Thriving
Leland Malchow has been practicing law for over 40 years. As a seasoned personal injury and workers’ compensation attorney serving Georgia and South Carolina, he knew how to get results for clients—but getting quality leads online was a different story.
“We went through some vendors that could not follow through on their promises,” Leland said. “They made it feel like we were doing something wrong. We weren’t closing enough, or didn’t know what we were doing.”
Despite paying for digital marketing, the leads just weren’t coming in. The ones that did lacked quality, and the vendor wasn’t taking accountability. On top of that, the thought of switching seemed daunting. His firm had spent a year building its website and online infrastructure—starting over wasn’t something he was eager to do.
That all changed when he heard about Accelerate Now on a Don Keenan podcast.
A Seamless Switch
“Papa Don had been using Shawn for years, so I gave them a shot,” Leland said.
From the start, things felt different.
“When we switched from the other provider, it was a seamless transition,” he said. “Shawn and Chad seemed to build up our SEO and website very quickly, very promptly.”
Instead of excuses, Leland got fast action and clear communication. “Shawn is a trusted advisor to us. He’s more than just a marketing person.”

“It’s not just marketing. They’re helping us run a better firm.”
Leads Up. Rankings Up. Revenue Way Up.
Since partnering with Accelerate Now, the firm has seen a massive turnaround.
They now get a minimum of 50 internet leads per month—with no referrals required.
Even more impressive, the firm ranks #1 on Google for personal injury and car accident searches in all four of their markets: Augusta GA, North Augusta SC, Beaufort SC, and Aiken SC.
“Over the last two years with Accelerate Now in 2023 and 2024, we’ve had the two best years we’ve ever had,” Leland said. “And we’re getting a lot of clients that we’ve never represented before—not coming from other lawyers. They’re basically just coming from the digital marketing advertising that Accelerate Now does for us.”
A Future Built on Growth
One of the firm’s most exciting initiatives now is their adoption of AI, with Accelerate Now guiding the process.
“We’re meeting with Shawn and working with his group to teach our office AI and let us use AI to help with operations and running of our law firm. I’m very, very excited about that opportunity.”
