3. This Is My Company.
   I am responsible for the health and success of our company. At times, this means putting my ego aside and doing what’s best for our clients and the organization. The way to get what I want at work is by helping the company succeed. I share in the success that I help create.
4. Always Learning and Expanding.
   There is only winning and learning. In every adversity is the seed of an equal or greater benefit. Let us never squander a perfectly good learning opportunity! When we win, let us not get too high and when we experience learning moments, let us not get too low. We will persist until we succeed. Progress every day!
5. Punching Above Our Weight Class.
   We do the best we can with what we have. We maximize our resources. Each part of the process is owned by the person uniquely capable of delivering excellence. If that person is not on our team, we punch above our weight class by finding the person or company outside of the organization.

Where We Came From

The ApricotLaw Origin Story

In 2011, Nick Kringas decided to leave the restaurant business.

With his second child now 6 months old, Nick was hungry to make something happen. Since he’s never had a “real” job, he decided to start a new business.

Using his self-taught SEO skills, he signed his first client, the restaurant attorney that helped him obtain multiple New York State liquor licenses. That client is still with ApricotLaw today, over a decade later.

Why Law Firms?

The best SEO’s test.

Early on, Nick had dozens of live “test” sites to learn how Google responded to various inputs.

Many of these test sites were in the personal injury niche.

The thinking was, if he could rank for personal injury terms in the United States, he could rank for anything.

Nick was able to rank one of these test sites for the ultra-competitive search query “New York City Car Accident Lawyer.”

This ability to rank for competitive keywords, combined with the fact that personal injury attorneys are forced to pay upwards of hundreds of dollars per visitor for identical traffic, was the spark that pushed Nick to focus exclusively on Law Firm SEO and Digital Marketing.

With the initial success of his first client and proof of concept with the personal injury rankings, ApricotLaw was born.

On November 1, 2013, ApricotLaw Inc. was incorporated.

Before the end of 2013, one smart personal injury attorney in New York City saw Nick’s test site ranking for many lucrative personal injury search queries even though no one affiliated with the site had passed the Bar exam. That person became ApricotLaw’s exclusive client for all personal injury terms in the New York City area and has been dominating the first page of Google for the majority of the last decade.

This New York City law firm has hundreds of accident victims requesting a free consultation every month thanks to ApricotLaw.
