Hand-selected, city by city
LawyerUp isn’t an open directory where any lawyer can sign up and appear. Our team researches each city individually and selects the attorneys who stand out for their personal injury work, their reputation and their commitment to clients. If a firm doesn’t meet our standards, it isn’t listed.
Personal injury is all we do
Every attorney on LawyerUp focuses on personal injury and represents injured people, not insurance companies. You won’t find firms that dabble in injury cases alongside a dozen other practice areas.
Licensed, and you can check
We confirm that the attorneys we list are licensed and in good standing. You don’t have to take our word for it, and you shouldn’t take anyone’s: every state publishes its own attorney records, and checking takes about two minutes. Our guide on how to check a lawyer’s license and discipline record shows you where to look and what to look for.
Ready to answer when you call
After an accident you need someone who picks up the phone. We look for firms with dedicated intake staff who respond quickly and can explain your next steps. Some of the firms we list have been independently measured on exactly that, and carry a response-time note on their profile.
We keep checking
Being selected once isn’t permanent. We review listed firms on an ongoing basis. If a firm stops meeting our standards, or we hear from people that it isn’t responding, we follow up and may remove it. If that happens to you, tell us.
