What "certified" meansRead the full methodology
Most directories sell placement. We verify firms, and publish exactly how.
A firm earns the LFL Certified badge by clearing every eligibility gate its state lets anyone check and then scoring 70 or higher on measured evidence. It can't be bought, it's re-measured when the market is, and a public disciplinary action removes it.
1 · Licensure & disciplineEvery named attorney matched to the state register and checked for an adverse status. Where a state publishes neither, we say so on the profile instead of scoring it.
2 · Published outcomesCase results counted from the firm's own pages. The amounts are the firm's and we say on every profile that we have not confirmed them.
3 · Client experienceGoogle review volume and rating, weighted against the firm's own market rather than against five stars, so a high average at low volume earns less.
4 · Reach & transparencyDomain authority, verified locations, fee terms, free consultations and the languages the firm publishes in, each read from a public source.

Questions people ask first
Before you hire anyone
Short answers to the questions we hear most. Every guide is reviewed by a licensed attorney in the relevant state.
Browse all guidesHow much does a lawyer cost?
It depends on the matter. Personal injury firms almost always work on contingency (typically 33⅓%, nothing up front). Divorce, criminal defense and business work are usually hourly ($250–$1,200) or flat-fee. Every profile shows the fee model before you call.
Is a "certified" firm better than a highly rated one?
Ratings tell you how clients felt. Certification tells you the attorneys are licensed, undisciplined and have results we could verify. The best firms have both, and our rankings weight them together.
Do law firms pay to be listed here?
No. Firms appear here because we found them and read their public record, and being listed costs nothing. The Certification Score, the eligibility gates and the tier cannot be bought or edited by anyone, including a firm that manages its own profile, so nothing a firm can buy moves its position in any ranked list. A firm that wants to manage its own profile can take an optional annual listing, and sponsored placements are always labeled and never appear inside a ranked list.
What happens when I request a consultation?
Your message goes straight to the firm. We do not sell it to other lawyers and we take no referral fee. 83% of the firms published here offer the first consultation free. How quickly a firm replies is up to the firm; we do not measure it yet, so we do not promise it.
What if a firm loses its certification?
If a public disciplinary action appears or verified reviews fall below our threshold, the badge is removed within 30 days and the firm drops out of ranked lists until it re-qualifies.
