How attorneys claim and verify their profile on LAW119

LAW119 uses a two-step path for attorneys. First, claim your public lawyer profile for free. Second, complete platform verification and review. Claiming links the public page to your account. Verification confirms your license, identity, and profile quality.

1

Sign in or create an attorney account

Start with a LAW119 attorney account. Only attorney accounts can claim a public lawyer profile. Client accounts cannot complete this step.

2

Make sure your bar state and bar number match exactly

Your attorney profile must use the same bar state and bar number shown on the public lawyer profile. LAW119 uses those two fields to verify the match.

3

Click “Claim Profile” on the public lawyer page

Open your public lawyer profile and use the Claim Profile section on the page. Claiming is free and does not create a paid subscription.

4

Continue to the verification page after claiming

Once the claim is successful, the public profile is linked to your attorney account and LAW119 will guide you to continue platform verification.

5

Complete your profile and submit it for review

Finish your license details, identity details, service areas, practice focus, contact information, and attorney bio. A stronger profile makes review easier and improves later visibility.

6

Receive Verified status after approval

After platform review is approved, your profile can display stronger trust signals and move into the full case-matching flow. Verified is not purchased. It is a review outcome.

Common reasons a claim does not go through

  • Your bar state or bar number does not match the public profile
  • You are signed in with a non-attorney account
  • The public profile has already been claimed by another attorney account
  • Your attorney profile is still missing key fields

What changes after verification is approved

  • LAW119 can show clearer trust signals on your profile
  • Your public profile and attorney dashboard stay connected
  • Your profile is better positioned for ranking, recommendation, and future placements
  • You move fully into the LAW119 case and conversation workflow

Recommended path

The cleanest path is to find your public profile first, claim it for free, then move straight into verification to complete your profile and wait for review. This keeps your public profile, dashboard, verification status, and case workflow connected from the start.
