Qualified Lawyer - Qualified Attorneys
What is the Lead Counsel Program?
Lawinfo.com, Inc., the oldest and most establish resource for locating
qualified attorneys on the Internet, developed its Lead Counsel Program in 1996
to assist consumers and businesses in finding the best possible legal
representation in the shortest amount of time. To become members and
earn the Lead Counsel designation, qualified attorneys must receive multiple peer
recommendations advocating their inclusion into the program. Lawinfo
also verifies every attorney application, checks all references
provided by the attorney applicant and contacts the applicant's state
bar to ensure that there is not currently, nor has there ever been
disciplinary sanctions taken against the applicant. Should LawInfo
discover disciplinary sanctions, the applicant is subsequently not
designated as a Lead Counsel Member.
Qualified Attorneys
Lead Counsel Members have been practicing for at least 5 years, have a 20% concentration in the practice area in which they are designated as Lead Counsel Members and have excellent reputations in their communities (as verified by peer references). Many of LawInfo's Lead Counsel Members hold official positions in major legal organizations and academies and on many boards. Many have won awards, been recognized by their Bar Associations, and played quintessential roles in their communities.
Although the Lead Counsel Program is not an attorney referral service, LawInfo takes the Lead Counsel Program qualification process seriously and relies on attorney applicants, attorney peers (references), and attorney members to do the same. Members commit to notifying LawInfo immediately should any status change in their practices that may make them ineligible for continuation in The Lead Counsel Program.
