Finding and Claiming Your Profile

Before you can update an existing West Legal Directory profile for the first time, you need to find and claim it. You will be prompted to find your profile after registration or when you click Claim an Additional Profile from the Manage Your Profiles page.

  1. Select an update option when prompted. See Update Options for details.

  2. Depending on the type of profile you selected, enter your name or your organization's name. See Profile Search Tips for more information about entering search criteria.

  3. Type a city, state or province, or country in the text boxes or select an option from the drop-down lists to narrow your search.

  4. Click Find. A list of the profiles matching your search criteria is displayed. Click a profile name to view a profile.

You can search again, if desired. See Profile Search Tips for more information about entering search criteria. If your profile is not found, see Adding a Profile for details.

  1. From the result list, click Claim next to the profile you want to update.

Note: A profile preceded by the main office icon () is an organization's main office profile. Select this profile if you want rights to update the main office profile, as well as all affiliated branch office and individual profiles.

  1. Type your West account number if you are claiming an organization profile with affiliated individual profiles, and click Continue. This information is requested for security purposes.

Note: If you do not know your West account number, type your phone number and a West customer service representative will call you for verification.
