Creating a Profile for an Attorney
If you do not have a FindLaw Lawyer Directory profile, you can add your
profile to Profile Update.
Note Most sole practitioners
already have a FindLaw Lawyer Directory profile. Sole
practitioner profiles contain both organization and individual information.
When you have completed updating the organization information in your
profile, you will be prompted to update your individual information.
Complete the following steps to add your profile:
- Search for your attorney profile to verify that
one does not already exist. See Finding
and Claiming a Profile for more information.
- If no profile exists for you, click Add
on the Search Your Profile page. The Create a Profile for an Attorney
page is displayed.
- In the Organization
Information section, type the name of your organization. You
can optionally type the location information for your organization
in the appropriate text boxes and choose from the drop-down lists.
- In the Individual
Name section, type your first and last name and any additional
name information you want to include in the text boxes.
Note
Type the organization name and individual name, as you want them
to appear in the new profile, in the appropriate text boxes.
- Click Continue.
The Select Your Organization page is displayed.
- Do one of the following:
- If the organization you are affiliated
with is listed, select your organization and click Continue.
A new profile is created and the Edit
Session page is displayed where you can add or change information
in your profile.
- If the organization you are affiliated
with is not listed, select None
and click Continue. The
Your Organization Was Not Found page is displayed.
Note
The information you provided in the previous steps will pre-populate
the appropriate fields.
- In the Firm
Size field, do one of the following:
- If you are a sole practitioner, select
Solo.
- If there is more than one attorney
at your firm, select 2
or more Attorneys.
- Complete the remaining required fields in the
Organization Information section and click Submit.
A page is displayed indicating that your
profile request has been received. FindLaw Lawyer Directory staff will
review and publish your new profile within two business days. You will
receive an e-mail confirmation when your request is completed and the
profile is available to you in Profile Update.
