Editorial policy

AccidentLawyerReview is a public-data directory of US truck-accident and personal injury law firms. This page documents how the directory is researched, verified, and updated — and what we explicitly do not do.

What we publish

Firm listings. Each firm in the directory has a profile page showing data drawn from public sources: a State Bar registry entry for any attorney we have verified, Google Maps rating and review count, and the firm's own publicly disclosed details (founding year, office locations, fee structure as stated on the firm's site). Every field cites its source and the date we last checked it.

State and city directory pages aggregate the firm listings for a given jurisdiction. We do not publish editorial commentary, advice articles, settlement estimators, or "what to do after an accident" explainers. The directory is the product.

Data sources

• State Bar registries — current license status, admission date, public disciplinary history. Cited directly to the issuing State Bar's public lookup tool.
• Google Maps — aggregate rating and review count. Cited to the firm's Google Business Profile URL.
• Firm's own website — founding year, office addresses, fee disclosures, languages spoken. Cited to the firm's own pages.
• Public bulk-data feeds where available — e.g. New York's Office of Court Administration attorney-registration dataset on data.ny.gov.

Anything we cannot verify against a public source is left blank. Empty fields beat speculation.

Verification cadence

Each attorney's State Bar record is re-checked on a quarterly cadence against the issuing State Bar. License-status changes (status drops to suspended/inactive, new disciplinary history surfaces) update the listing on the next verification pass.

Google Maps ratings and review counts are refreshed on the same cadence. Firm-published fields (founding year, office addresses) are updated when the firm's own site changes or when a reader sends a correction.

Independence and revenue

AccidentLawyerReview is owned and operated independently. No law firm, legal directory, or lead-generation network has equity in or editorial control over the publication.

We do not earn money from the firms we list. We are not a lawyer referral service. We do not match readers with attorneys. We do not accept payment for placement, ordering, or visibility on this site. We do not receive a fee, commission, or any other consideration when a reader contacts a listed firm through a link or phone number on this site.

Any revenue this site earns comes from generic display advertising served against directory traffic — the same model an independent catalog (Yelp, Google Maps, Nomad List) uses. If this model ever changes, this page will say so before the change takes effect.

Corrections policy

We aim to verify and correct material factual errors within 48 hours of notice. When a correction touches data on a public firm profile, we update the timestamp on the affected field and note the source we checked. Firms that wish to correct or update their own listing should write to the editorial team via the contact page — there is no sales channel.

What this site is not

• Not a law firm. We do not represent clients and have no attorney–client relationship with any reader.
• Not a lawyer referral service. We do not route prospective clients to attorneys. There is no matching quiz, no case-review form, no intake funnel of any kind.
• Not a marketing platform. Firms cannot pay to be added, removed, ranked higher, or featured.
• Not a source of legal advice. Nothing on this site interprets a legal question, estimates a case value, or recommends a course of action for any individual reader. If you have a legal question, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
