Justia Lawyer Directory Badges

The Justia Lawyer Directory uses badges to distinguish profiles with certain characteristics.


Claimed Lawyer Profile Badge

Claimed Lawyer Profile

This badge appears on the profile of any person who has claimed their profile on the Justia Lawyer Directory. It usually means they have more up-to-date business and contact information. These lawyers are more likely to respond to contacts than lawyers whose profiles are unclaimed.

If you are a lawyer and have not yet claimed your profile, you can do so here.


Offers Video Conferencing Badge

Offers Video Conferencing

The Video Conferencing badge indicates that the attorney offers video conferencing services. Attorneys with this badge have indicated that they are available to meet with potential clients digitally through at least one video conferencing service, such as Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, etc. Video conferencing services allow people to get in touch while working from home. Lawyers with this badge are included in the "Offers Video Conferencing" filtered search results within the Justia Lawyer Directory.


Justia Ask A Lawyer Badge

Q&A

The Justia Ask A Lawyer badge means that the attorney participates in Justia Ask A Lawyer, which is a forum where people can get answers to their basic legal questions on a variety of topics. Attorneys who answer questions on Justia Ask A Lawyer automatically receive this badge on their profile, and you can see a list of the answers they have provided if you scroll down on their profile page.

Justia values these lawyers because they freely contribute their time to helping the public get answers to basic legal questions.
