When you need to find an attorney, you want to be able to find the best attorney as quickly as possible. Luckily, you live in the Internet Age, and online attorney directories are making this process easier.
Unluckily, there are still numerous directories to wade through to find the attorney that’s right for you…
Most large corporations and various bar associations (including voluntary, state, local and specialty) typically maintain attorney directories. Online directories differ from print directories (think the digital equivalent of the Yellow Pages) by more than just the obvious.
The online directories we have today are often sorted according to specialty and cost (there are non-profit directories that even direct people to pro-bono lawyers), and other directories allow for users to search by attorney location and/or name.
Other ways online directories help people find the perfect attorney include:
- The addition of a biography
- Practice area descriptions
- RSS blog feed
- Attorney information (speaking engagements, awards, education, publications, etc.)
- Website links
- Social media platforms
