How we calculate our numbers

When you are choosing a lawyer, a number on a page can look more official than it really is. So we explain what each figure on Juricue means, where it comes from, and what it cannot tell you.

These figures change whenever we add, correct or remove a firm.

How firms are counted

Each firm appears once, even if it has offices in several states. For example, a firm with offices in Louisiana and Texas shows up on both state pages, but it is still one firm.

This is not a list of every law firm in the United States. It includes firms with their own website and enough public information to build a useful profile. Solo lawyers without a website, firms we could not research with confidence, and firms with too little public information are not included.

Each profile starts from the firm's own website, alongside public business records and public review platforms such as Google.

The same firm often appears in several public sources, sometimes under slightly different names. We match those listings to the firm's website so it is not listed twice. When two genuinely different firms share one website, we keep them as separate listings.

States and practice areas covered

States covered is the number of states where at least one listed firm has an office. It shows how far the directory reaches, not how many firms are in any one state. Each state page shows its own count.

Practice areas is the number of legal categories we use to organize firms, such as Family Law or Personal Injury. Most firms appear under several of them.

Office locations and practice areas come from what each firm says about itself on its own website. We sort each firm's description of its work into these categories so you can compare firms side by side.

A practice area shows how a firm describes its work in public, not a guarantee that it takes that kind of case today. Confirm the scope of your matter with the firm directly.

Firms with a star rating shown

67% of the firms on Juricue show a star rating. We only show one when we can match the firm to its Google Business Profile and the rating comes with a review count. The rest show no rating at all.

Juricue doesn't create, verify or change these ratings. Where a rating appears, it is the figure shown on the firm's public Google listing. We copy the figure from that listing; it is not a rating Juricue created or checked, and it is not a review written by Juricue. We show the public number and its review count; we do not audit the reviews behind it.

For firms without a rating, we show nothing: we do not estimate. When we cannot match a firm to a public rating with confidence, we leave the rating out. We never estimate, guess, average, or make up a number to fill the gap. A missing rating means "no rating we could confirm," not "a low rating," and it says nothing about the quality of the firm.

Ratings and review counts come from the firm's Google Business Profile. Each profile with a rating shows the date we last checked its Google listing and links to it, so you can see the current figure yourself.

How the profiles themselves are compiled

Everything inside a profile comes from public information, such as the firm's own website, public records and public review sites. We use AI-assisted research to gather it, then present it in the same format for every firm.

We check each profile against the firm's own website, but we don't verify it beyond that. Profiles aren't written or reviewed by lawyers, and they aren't legal advice. Every profile ends with a note that it may not reflect a firm's current lawyers, fees or policies.

How often these numbers change

The figures follow the directory. These numbers are counted from the same profiles you can browse. When we add, correct or remove a firm, these figures change with it. Nobody types them in by hand.

The research is a snapshot, not a live feed. Each profile reflects what was public when we last researched that firm. Firms change their staff, fees and services over time, which is why we ask you to confirm current details with a firm directly.

What these numbers do not claim

To be clear, our numbers and profiles do not include or claim:

• No case-outcome data. We do not track, count, or rank firms by verdicts, settlements, or case results.
• No verified bar standing. We do not independently confirm any firm's bar admission, license status, or disciplinary standing. Confirm those with the relevant state bar.
• No independently confirmed history or awards. Details such as years in business, notable results, or awards are drawn from a firm's own public materials, not independently verified findings by Juricue.
• No ranking by quality. A firm's position in a search or filter depends on what you searched for and the filters you chose, not on which firm we think is better.
