Justia’s mission is to make the law and legal resources free for all. For two decades, our team has dedicated itself to increasing access to the law for all people, while also helping lawyers connect with clients and accomplish their practice-growth goals.
The Justia Lawyer Directory is a free platform supporting both of these objectives by streamlining the process by which consumers search for a lawyer while also helping lawyers increase their online visibility before millions of potential clients.
Each quarter, we take a look at our Lawyer Directory data and share highlights with our Justia Onward readers. Whether you are curious about which states had the most lawyers claim their profiles in the second quarter or want to know more about something else, this post allows you to take a peek behind our doors and learn more about the attorneys on our platform.
Where Do Our Lawyers Come From?
Lawyers across the nation claimed their free profile in our directory in the second quarter of 2023! However, California continued to lead the way for profile claims, followed by Florida, Texas, New Jersey, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Washington.
What Type of Law Do They Practice?
When completing their Justia Profiles in the Justia Lawyer Directory, attorneys are provided a selection of over 50 different practice areas to add to their profile. This wide variety of practice areas empowers lawyers to more accurately describe their practices and better connect with potential clients.
In the second quarter, lawyers in these practice areas most frequently claimed their Justia Profile: Personal Injury, Criminal Law, Family Law, Business Law, Estate Planning, Divorce, DUI & DWI, Real Estate Law, Probate, and Medical Malpractice.
Where Did the Lawyers in the Justia Lawyer Directory Attend School?
The lawyers in the Justia Lawyer Directory come from diverse educational backgrounds. Attorneys are highly educated professionals who have earned degrees from a variety of law schools and universities across the country, and sometimes even abroad. We took a look at the data to determine which schools had the most alumni claiming their Justia Lawyer Directory profiles between April 1 and June 30 this year.
