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:

1. Search for your attorney profile to verify that one does not already exist. See Finding and Claiming a Profile for more information.
2. If no profile exists for you, click Add on the Search Your Profile page. The Create a Profile for an Attorney page is displayed.
3. 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.
4. 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.

5. Click Continue. The Select Your Organization page is displayed.
6. 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.

7. 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.
8. 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.
