Conditional free route directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

What the free route requires

  • Free listing exists but requires being a licensed US attorney — the profile must be tied to the attorney's personal law-firm email address, verified in a moderation period
  • Claim-by-email / claim-by-phone / claim-by-photo verification for existing auto-created profiles

Requirements

  • Only relevant for legal products/services where a licensed US attorney is the profile subject — not a general product launch directory
  • Each profile must have unique login credentials tied to the attorney's own law firm email; Justia revokes profiles registered under mismatched emails
  • Marketing managers creating profiles for clients must use a separate documented flow
  • Paid Premium/Platinum placements exist but are optional upgrades on top of the free full-featured profile

Prepare before opening the form

  • Attorney name, bar details, law-firm email address (personal @firm domain, not generic)
  • Photo, bio, education/experience, practice areas, website/blog and social links
  • Check if a profile already exists — search the directory first and use the 'click here to claim your profile for free' link

Workflow

  1. Search lawyers.justia.com for an existing auto-generated profile; if found, click the claim link on the profile page
  2. Otherwise go to https://lawyers.justia.com/new-profile ('Get Listed') and fill out the form
  3. Verify identity via Claim by Email / Phone / Photo as applicable
  4. Complete the profile (photo, bio, practice areas, links)
  5. Pass the moderation period — Justia reviews that the account email corresponds to the attorney's law-firm address

Watch for

  • Eligibility wall: US-licensed attorneys only — for a SaaS product this destination is only usable if the founder/company identity fits a legal-services listing
  • Profiles created under non-matching emails get revoked during moderation
  • No master logins — one credential set per profile
  • Upsell: Premium/Platinum placements (paid) compete with free listings for visibility
  • lawyers.justia.com/register returned 403 to automated fetch — use new-profile / the 'Get Listed' link

What counts as live

The attorney profile page on lawyers.justia.com is publicly reachable and shows completed profile data past the moderation period

Not verified

  • Moderation turnaround time
  • Whether website links in free profiles are follow or nofollow
  • Whether non-attorney legal-tech businesses can be listed (appears attorney-only)
