How often do you update information in a lawyer’s profile?

While we try to maintain the most accurate and updated information for lawyers’ profiles, our information can only be as current as that of our sources, such as state Bar Associations. Advokat.com checks its verified layers annually to make sure they continue to meet the standards for verified status. Our goal is to provide the most up-to-date and accurate information to our users. If you find information in a lawyer’s profile you feel is incorrect, please contact us. If you are a lawyer who finds inaccurate or out of date information in your profile, contact us and we will update it for free.

Where do you get the information about lawyers that you post in their profiles?

Information on lawyers comes from a variety of sources including state Bar Associations, court information, lawyers’ websites and from information provided directly to Advokat.com by the lawyers themselves. We then compile that information and provide it to users as a convenient one-stop source, saving them time wasted browsing and searching for that information on their own. While the credentials of each of our verified lawyers have been checked, not all information from all sources can be independently verified. If you believe you have found incorrect information in a lawyer’s profile, please contact us. Our goal is to ensure our information is as up-to-date and accurate as possible.
