Top Lawyer Match

For lawyers & law firms

Give clients what they need to choose you.

An Enhanced Profile puts your fees, consultation terms, languages, availability and offices in front of people deciding who to call — with your website and phone on the page, and a Verified Lawyer badge once we’ve checked your identity, licence and standing.

Profile purchases never buy recognition or improve Match ranking.

Selected recognition is earned separately, under our selection methodology. Selection is not available for purchase.

$150 first year, then $299/year · per attorney

The Enhanced Profile

What $150 buys.

One product, per attorney. Everything below is included — there is no higher tier.

  1. 01

    Your full Enhanced Profile

    Practice focus, offices and service areas, fees and consultation terms, languages, availability, credentials, experience and FAQs — the details clients use to decide who to call.

  2. 02

    Edit it yourself, any time

    A dashboard with unlimited self-service updates: bio, phone, website, fees, consultation terms, availability, languages, offices and headshot. Practice areas, licence records and recognition are kept against the record by our team.

  3. 03

    Verification, and the Verified Lawyer badge

    We check your identity, licence and standing with you. Pass, and you receive the Verified Lawyer badge and a printable certificate.

  4. 04

    Your website and phone on your profile

    Your profile displays a link to your website and your phone number, so a client who has decided can reach you directly.

  5. 05

    A badge for your own site

    A ready-made embed snippet for the Verified Lawyer badge. It links to your public verification page, so anyone can check it is genuine. Placing it is entirely your choice.

  6. 06

    Discovery on relevant pages

    Eligibility to appear on the practice, city and county pages where your practice and location genuinely fit. “Office in” and “Serves” stay separate — nobody is shown as local when they are not.

  7. 07

    Save, Compare and Match

    Clients can save you, compare you side by side, and Match can explain how your published details line up with what they need.

What is free, what is paid, what is earned

Three different claims. They never look alike.

Where you stand on one never moves you on another.

Free · on every listing

Licence confirmed

Licence display

Every listing shows the jurisdictions where we’ve confirmed an active licence with the state bar. It is the minimum a directory owes the public, so it is not part of any purchase — paid or not, you have it.

Paid · Enhanced Profile

Verified Lawyer Identity · Licence · Standing

Enhanced profile · claimed by attorney

Verified Lawyer

A broader factual claim — identity, licence and standing, checked with you. Indigo with a check mark, never gold, because it is a record, not an award. Your profile also carries a dotted “Enhanced profile” tag, so clients can see the presentation was paid for.

Earned · not for sale

Selected 2026

Top Lawyer Match Selected

Annual recognition under our selection methodology, with its own gold seal, strip, compact badge and email signature. Holding an Enhanced Profile does not grant it, improve your odds, or put you in a different queue. Selection is not available for purchase.

What no amount of money buys here.

A badge or a ranking only means something to a client if it could not be bought. So these are off the table, at any price.

  • A higher rank. Payment has no effect on standard ranking order.
  • A better Match. Match scores and Match ordering ignore whether you pay.
  • Selected recognition. Earned under the methodology, or not at all.
  • Any gold asset. The seal, strip, compact badge and email signature come with Selected only.

What a complete profile does change

When a client answers Match’s questions, each of your details is reported as one of three things:

  • Aligns Your published information matches what they told us.
  • Different Stated honestly, not hidden.
  • Information unavailable The detail is missing — the strongest case for completing your profile.

Payment never changes any of those answers. Accurate, complete information does.

For your own website

Assets, and exactly how you get each one.

Every asset links to a public verification page, so a client or referrer can confirm it independently.

Included with your profile Released once you pass verification.

Sample Verified Lawyer badge
Verified Lawyer badge Indigo and factual — identity, licence, standing. Never gold, because it is not an award.
Sample Verified Lawyer certificate
Verified Lawyer certificate Print-ready, with the date checked and your verification code.

One snippet, and the badge is live on your site.

We generate the markup in your dashboard. Paste it in once; the badge links to your verification page so anyone can check it.

Questions attorneys ask

What exactly do I get?

The full Enhanced Profile and dashboard, unlimited self-service updates, verification of your identity, licence and standing, and — once verified — the Verified Lawyer badge, certificate and embed snippet. Your profile displays a link to your website and your phone number, and you are eligible for discovery on relevant practice, city and county pages and for Save, Compare and Match.

Does paying improve where I rank?

No. Payment does not affect standard ranking order, Match scores or Match ordering. A complete, accurate profile does help clients see how you fit — because there is more information to compare against.

Does buying a profile make me Top Lawyer Match Selected?

No. Selected is annual recognition earned under our selection methodology. Selection is not available for purchase, and holding an Enhanced Profile does not improve your odds. The gold assets come with Selected only.

What is the difference between Licence confirmed and Verified Lawyer?

Licence confirmed is free on every listing: we checked the public bar record. Verified Lawyer is broader — identity, licence and standing, checked with you — and is included with the Enhanced Profile. They look different on purpose.

Can I edit my profile myself?

Yes, from your dashboard, as often as you like: bio, phone, website, fees, consultation terms, availability, languages, offices and headshot. Practice areas, licence records and recognition are maintained against the record by our team.

What happens after I purchase?

You get a receipt by email. Your purchase is connected to your listing — claimed if we already list you, created if not — and you complete it from your dashboard. Verification runs with you, and the Verified Lawyer badge and certificate are released when it passes.

Does it renew automatically?

Yes. It is an annual subscription: $150 for the first year, then $299 a year. The renewal amount and terms are shown in full at checkout before any payment is taken.

What if I stop paying?

Your factual listing stays, including your confirmed licence display. The enhanced presentation, self-service editing and Verified Lawyer assets stop.

I manage several attorneys. Is there a firm account?

Yes. One account can manage several profiles. Tell us roughly how many attorneys and we will set it up with you.

Start your profile.

$150 first year, then $299/year, per attorney. Recognition is earned, never purchased.

Payment never buys rank.

Sponsored listings are labelled and sit after every ranked result. No payment — for a listing or a profile — changes Match order or Selected status.
