    Terms of Service

    Last Updated: January 23, 2025

    1. Acceptance of Terms

    Welcome to AttorneyReview ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our website, mobile applications, and services (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Services.

    These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and AttorneyReview. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, and such modifications will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Services following any modifications indicates your acceptance of the modified Terms.

    2. Nature of Our Services

    2.1 AttorneyReview Is Not a Law Firm

    IMPORTANT: AttorneyReview is NOT a law firm and does NOT provide legal advice, legal services, or legal representation. AttorneyReview is a marketing and advertising platform that connects consumers seeking legal services with independent attorneys and law firms who have chosen to participate in our network.

    2.2 No Attorney-Client Relationship

    Your use of AttorneyReview does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and AttorneyReview, or between you and any attorney listed on our platform until you have signed an engagement letter or retainer agreement directly with that attorney. Information submitted through our platform is NOT protected by attorney-client privilege until an attorney-client relationship is formally established.

    2.3 Attorney Matching Service

    AttorneyReview provides a platform for users to submit inquiries about legal matters and be connected with attorneys who may be able to assist. We do not guarantee that any attorney will accept your case, that any attorney is suitable for your particular legal needs, or that using our Services will result in a favorable legal outcome.

    3. Attorney Participation and Advertising

    3.1 Participating Attorneys

    Attorneys listed on AttorneyReview are independent legal professionals who have chosen to participate in our network. "Accredited" attorneys have entered into a paid marketing agreement with AttorneyReview and receive priority placement and lead routing. Non-accredited attorney listings are provided for informational purposes only.

    3.2 Attorney Advertising

    THIS IS ATTORNEY ADVERTISING. Attorney listings, profiles, and content on AttorneyReview constitute attorney advertising. The information provided about attorneys is supplied by the attorneys themselves or gathered from public sources. AttorneyReview does not endorse, recommend, or guarantee the services of any attorney listed on our platform.

    3.3 No Endorsement

    Inclusion on AttorneyReview, whether as an accredited or non-accredited listing, does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or certification of any attorney's qualifications, competence, or quality of legal services. Past results described in attorney profiles do not guarantee similar outcomes in your case.

    4. Lead Distribution and Contact

    4.1 Lead Sharing

    When you submit your information through AttorneyReview, your inquiry may be shared with one or more participating attorneys or law firms who practice in your requested area and geographic location. You may be contacted by multiple attorneys regarding your inquiry.

    4.2 Consent to Contact

    By submitting your information through AttorneyReview, you expressly consent to be contacted by AttorneyReview and participating attorneys by telephone (including automated dialers and pre-recorded messages), email, and text message at the number(s) and email address(es) you provide, regarding your legal inquiry. This consent is not required as a condition of purchasing any goods or services. Message and data rates may apply.

    4.3 Compensation Disclosure

    AttorneyReview receives compensation from participating attorneys for lead referrals and marketing services. This compensation may influence which attorneys appear in search results, receive priority placement, or are contacted about your inquiry. Attorneys who pay higher fees may receive preferential treatment in lead distribution and visibility on the platform.

    5. User Responsibilities

    5.1 Accurate Information

    You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when using our Services. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

    5.2 Independent Verification

    You are solely responsible for independently verifying any attorney's credentials, licensing status, disciplinary history, malpractice insurance, and suitability for your legal needs before retaining their services. We encourage you to verify attorney licensing through your state bar association.

    5.3 Prohibited Uses
