Questions about how we rate attorneys

Straight answers about our review process, scoring, and how to use the platform when comparing legal professionals.

How do you collect and verify client reviews?

Every review is submitted through a structured form that asks for the specific legal area, the nature of the matter, and the timeline of the case. We confirm that the reviewer has completed a matter with the attorney before publishing. This keeps the feedback tied to real client work rather than general impressions.

What exactly do the star ratings measure?

Each attorney profile shows separate scores for communication quality, fee transparency, case handling, and overall satisfaction. We keep these categories distinct so you can see whether a lawyer is praised for clear updates but rated lower on billing clarity, for example. The narrative summary adds context that numbers alone cannot capture.

How is the response timeline calculated?

We ask reviewers to note how quickly the attorney returned calls, answered emails, and provided updates during the matter. These responses are averaged into a timeline indicator on the profile. It is a practical signal for clients who value regular communication, especially in time-sensitive areas like conveyancing or civil litigation.

Can I submit a review if my matter is still ongoing?

No. We only publish reviews after a matter has been concluded, whether through settlement, judgment, transfer, or finalisation of the estate. This ensures the feedback reflects the full experience, including how the attorney handled the closing stages and any follow-up questions.

How should I prepare for an initial consultation?

Bring a timeline of events, any correspondence you have exchanged with the other party, and a list of questions about fees and process. Our profiles include practical guidance on what to ask during the first meeting, so you can compare how different attorneys respond before committing. For more detail on what to expect, read our getting started guide.

Do you remove or edit reviews after they are published?

We allow attorneys to respond to reviews with factual corrections, but we do not edit client narratives. If a review violates our guidelines, we remove it entirely rather than altering the content. This keeps the platform honest for both sides. Our full approach is outlined in the terms of use.

Plans & Coverage

What Each Review Plan Includes

Our plans define how deeply a legal practice is evaluated and how much verified client feedback is published. Each tier is built around a specific review depth, from a single matter summary to a full practice profile with structured ratings across multiple case types.

Single Matter Review

For clients who want to share feedback on one completed legal matter. The review is verified and published with a narrative summary and star-based scoring across four criteria.

  • One verified client narrative
  • Scoring on communication and fee clarity
  • Response timeline from the attorney

Best for individuals who completed a single consultation or case and want to document the experience for other consumers.

Practice Profile

A consolidated profile for a law firm or individual attorney, aggregating verified feedback from multiple clients across different case categories such as family law, conveyancing, or estate planning.

  • Aggregated ratings across several matters
  • Breakdown by practice area and case type
  • Comparative view against local averages

Useful for consumers comparing multiple attorneys before choosing who to brief for a new matter.

Full Practice Evaluation

An in-depth assessment covering a practice's communication patterns, fee transparency, case handling procedures, and client satisfaction across all published reviews. Includes a written summary of strengths and recurring concerns.

  • Detailed narrative evaluation
  • Pattern analysis across all verified reviews
  • Guidance on preparing for consultations

Designed for consumers facing complex or high-stakes legal matters who need a fuller picture before committing.

How Verification Works

Every review is checked against the attorney's records and the client's matter details before publication. We confirm the case type, the attorney involved, and the general timeline so that ratings reflect genuine completed work rather than anonymous commentary.
