THE FIRM
A national plaintiff practice
Founded in 2024. GGH lists a team of 60+ and a Chicago headquarters at PNC Centre. Priority practices include abuse, mass torts, medical malpractice and catastrophic injury.
GGH × M3TA Media / November 202601SOCIAL & CONTENT PROPOSAL


GGH already earns national coverage. A weekly attorney-led show, daily legal news and tracked consultations can turn that attention into a new intake source.

02GGH / THE OPPORTUNITY
GGH has a national plaintiff practice and partners who already speak to the press. Social can give those interviews a second life and give viewers a clear way to reach intake.
GGH PRESS HIGHLIGHTS
Coverage of the UChicago fraternity litigation, October 2026.

COGDELL LAW UNCENSORED
Houston trial lawyer Dan Cogdell launched his show in 2025. Short clips carried courtroom stories and his personality well beyond the full episodes.
Record one conversation each week. Open clips with a specific story, a surprising answer or a moment worth waiting for.

04LEGAL SOCIAL / CASE STUDY
ATTORNEY ADAM ASHBY
A warning about a group chat or a child’s social post gives viewers something they recognize immediately. A case name by itself gives them less reason to stop.
Open with a real decision a viewer might face, then give one practical point. Start mass tort explainers with who may be affected.

DEMAND THE LIMITS
These four TikTok posts from Demand The Limits use a question, a joke or a familiar phrase as the first reason to watch. They sit alongside the Cogdell and Ashby samples as a test of personality-led legal content.
Test a clear question or a short “in legalese” line in the first frame, then give one practical or memorable point. Keep claims and any firm branding in counsel review.

06THE GGH CONTENT PLAN
Bryce Hensley is the proposed host of GGH Uncensored. One recording gives the team a full episode and 10–15 short clips to edit for the week. Daily news cards sit alongside the clips.
CLIENT STORIES
Use approved case facts and obtain written consent covering the story, any identifying material and any amount shared.
ACCOUNTABILITY STORIES
Use an attorney-only format focused on institutional conduct. Use approved public facts and leave survivor identities and details out.
07M3TA / SHORT-FORM PRODUCTION
M3TA finds the moments worth watching in GGH’s full episodes and approved press footage, then edits each clip to stand on its own.
01 / SELECT
Pull the strongest answer or story from the recording and keep enough context for it to make sense.
02 / EDIT
Write the opening line, cut the vertical edit, add captions and apply the GGH design.
03 / APPROVE
Confirm footage rights and have GGH review legal context, claims and any call to action before posting.
04 / LEARN
Track retention, shares and intake clicks by clip. Use the results to brief the next recording.
M3TA ran a clipping campaign for Jimmy Sotos around the show. This is a past entertainment campaign.
08EDITORIAL / GGH LEGAL NEWS
A daily news card in GGH’s navy and gold. An attorney explains what the public record says and what readers can watch for next.
1 headline, 3 slides of attorney context and 1 question. Keep headlines under 12 words and each context slide under 25.
Agree on a named partner, a proposed 2-hour review lane and a list of off-limits cases before launch.
LEGAL NEWSA trial lawyer walks through the steps readers can follow in the public record.
09VIDEO / TEST PLAN
Give each format a starting length and a metric. Test the first 60 days against GGH’s own data.
40% / REACH
News cards, everyday warnings and reactions. Track non-follower views and 3-second retention.
20% / FOLLOW
Numbered series and personality lists. Track follows per 1,000 views.
20% / SHARE
Practical checklists and carousels. Track shares and sends per view.
20% / DEPTH
Trial stories, approved result reels and comment replies. Track saves, comments and average percentage watched.
Test a 7–10 word first frame with a named subject and clear stakes. Use readable captions and let the post caption extend the hook, add context and ask a genuine question.

15M3TA / OPTIONAL AI IMPLEMENTATION
M3TA can apply AI across content, community, research, reporting and day-to-day workflow. Discoverability stays in scope. GGH approves claims, access and anything that reaches the public.
01 / CONTENT
Turn approved recordings into transcripts, clip suggestions, caption drafts and first-cut ideas. Editors check the cut and GGH approves the claims.
02 / DISCOVERABILITY
Use AI-assisted research to improve practice-area pages, write attorney-reviewed answers and publish sourced explanations that search and AI tools can find and cite.
03 / COMMUNITY
Draft comment replies, flag incoming messages that need a lawyer and keep a queue for review. GGH decides what is posted or sent.
04 / CREATORS
Shortlist creators and commentators who fit GGH’s practice areas, audience and advertising rules. The firm reviews any partnership before outreach.
05 / ANALYTICS
Compile views, engagement, traffic and intake into a regular report. Highlight what to keep, test or stop, and leave decisions with GGH.
06 / RESEARCH
Map the questions people ask, watch competitor and creator activity, and find gaps GGH can fill with attorney-reviewed content.
07 / WORKFLOW
Automate repeatable steps such as briefing, first drafts, task handoffs and status updates. Staff review the output before anything is used. Intake or case-record work would need a separate review.
08 / COMPLIANCE
Route drafts through GGH’s approval path. Flag claims, disclosures, sensitive topics and material that should stay out of public content, including privileged or sealed records.
Start with public content, discoverability and reporting. M3TA will scope tools, access and review with GGH before any intake or case-record work.
16M3TA × GGH / DISCOVERABILITY
Discoverability is one part of the implementation. M3TA uses AI-assisted research to map the questions people ask, check the sources and find gaps GGH can fill with attorney-reviewed content.
SEO
Improve practice-area pages, page titles and internal links so people searching for legal help can find the relevant page.
AEO
Write direct, attorney-reviewed answers to common questions, such as what to bring to a first consultation.
GEO
Publish clear, sourced explanations with named authors so AI search tools can identify and cite the original material.
For a separate workflow pilot, scope inputs, access and review with GGH before choosing tools.

The only difference between Variant B and Variant C is the fonts and styling. Variant B uses the M3TA Instagram style (Prata headlines and Libre Franklin). Variant C uses M3TA fonts (Anton headlines and Oswald) with GGH colors. Layout, copy, photographs and logos stay the same.
Not approved, not posted, and not in Metricool. Placeholders [TIME] CT and [DATE] still need the real time and date from GGH. GGH counsel must sign off before anything runs. The press conference wording also needs written survivor consent; no names or private details are used.

Caption (same on both variants)🚨 BREAKING: 3M agrees to pay $7.35 billion over firefighting foam cancer claims. The money is paid over nine years. 3M says the deal is not an admission of liability. It covers people exposed through contaminated drinking water or direct contact with the foam (AFFF), used at airports, military bases and fire training centers. Listed diagnoses: kidney, testicular, liver and thyroid cancer, ulcerative colitis and thyroid disease. Our take: this is the first big domino, not the last. DuPont, Corteva, Chemours and many other companies still face PFAS lawsuits. Know a firefighter, veteran or airport worker who used this foam? Send this to them.
