Justia Lawyer Directory

A Justia Premium Placement refers to a paid, enhanced listing in the Justia Lawyer Directory that gives attorneys greater visibility and exposure for the practice area(s) and metro area(s) they choose by featuring them above the organic results on listing pages. You can learn more about Justia Premium Placements by watching this video.

We offer 2 options: Justia Platinum Placements and Justia Gold Placements.

Justia Platinum Placements allow lawyers to receive the maximum possible visibility in our directory through a fixed, top placement on our Justia Lawyer Directory listing pages. The Justia Gold Placements allow lawyers to appear in rotating sponsored positions above and among the free profiles.

Yes, lawyers can have more than one Justia Premium Placement. In order to do so, lawyers would need to choose placements for different practice area and/or metro area targets.

For example, a single attorney can purchase a Personal Injury Gold Placement in the New York City, NY metro area, as well as a second gold placement for Personal Injury in the Nassau-Suffolk, NY metro area if they so choose. You can also purchase identical placements for separate lawyers at your firm to further enhance visibility for a particular area.

Yes, there are limits to the number of Justia Premium Placements sold by Justia. Justia Platinum Placements are exclusive placements; there is only one per practice area-metro area combination. Justia Gold Placements have more inventory than Justia Platinum Placements, but inventory is limited. All Justia Gold Placements rotate amongst one another, so each attorney with a Gold Placement has a chance to be featured above the general listings.

If the Justia Platinum Placement you want is already taken by another lawyer, you are free to join the waitlist. Because of the high demand and exclusive nature of these placements, lawyers on the waitlist will be contacted first before the placement is offered to the general public.

You should consider a Justia Premium Placement in the Justia Lawyer Directory to significantly increase your visibility online. Justia is the most visited legal directory in the United States, therefore, enhanced placements put you directly in front of users searching for the legal representation you offer.

Further, a placement provides you with an enhanced profile on both the Justia Lawyer Directory as well as the Legal Information Institute Lawyer Directory, which includes a prominent contact form designed to make it easier to connect with potential clients. Competitor ads are also removed from this enhanced profile. You’ll also get access to your profile’s traffic statistics on the Justia and LII lawyer directories and legal portals. You’ll receive a monthly report tracking profile impressions and page views across the Justia and LII properties.

Whether or not you’re ready to purchase a placement, we encourage you to claim and update your free Justia Lawyer Directory Profile. A complete profile will directly help you expand your online reach. Because our lawyer directory receives millions of visits each month, we strongly encourage you to claim and fill out your profile, regardless of whether or not you decide to purchase placements.

Once you’ve claimed and filled out your profile, you should answer questions on Justia Ask A Lawyer, our forum where people can get answers to their basic legal questions on a variety of topics. Answering questions on Justia Ask A Lawyer will allow you to showcase your legal knowledge and expertise. Your answers will include a link to your profile and your contact information, making it easy for people who need legal help to contact you. Your photo and a link to your profile may also be included on the leaderboard if you answer more questions than your peers.

Lastly, we strongly encourage you to procure a peer review rating by asking your colleagues and peers to participate in the Justia Lawyer Rating and Reviews system. Getting a 10 rating will signal to potential clients that you tend to be held in high regard by your peers. The Justia Lawyer Rating is one of the most used search filters on the Justia Lawyer Directory, so procuring the best rating possible will allow you to show up in searches filtered by Justia Lawyer Rating.
