Additional Attorney Terms
Last updated: June 2026
The following terms apply to all licensed attorneys registered on the LAW119 platform. By registering and using our services, you agree to these terms.
1. License & Compliance
Attorneys must ensure that the bar credentials registered on the platform, including state, license number, legal name, and official bar-record link when available, are accurate and current. Attorneys may not provide services in jurisdictions or practice areas where they are not licensed or otherwise authorized. If your license status materially changes, you must promptly notify the platform or update your profile.
2. Conflict of Interest
Attorneys are solely responsible for completing any conflict-of-interest check required by their own professional obligations before accepting representation. A written response or pre-engagement message does not by itself create a formal representation relationship. Any attorney-client relationship arises directly between the attorney and client under applicable law and the attorney's own intake and engagement process, which may include an engagement letter or other direct agreement.
For the current LAW119 launch, attorneys should respond first in writing through the platform. Attorneys may continue into LAW119 chat after the client affirmatively opens direct contact through the platform, but may not push the client into phone, video, text, email, or other live contact before the platform workflow allows it or the client expressly requests it.
3. Language Access and Translation
If you respond to or communicate with a client whose preferred language you do not list on your LAW119 profile, you remain responsible for ensuring competent communication and for clearly informing the client when qualified interpretation or translation support may be required.
LAW119 may display clearly labeled machine-translated previews for convenience in some cross-language workflows, but those previews are not authoritative legal translations and do not replace your own professional duties to communicate accurately with the client.
4. Independent Practice
Attorneys provide services on the platform as independent practitioners. They are not employees, agents, or partners of LAW119. Attorneys independently bear full professional responsibility for all legal opinions, representation, and document work. The platform does not guarantee, endorse, or assume joint liability for attorney conduct.
5. Professional Profile Sources
Attorneys should keep their registration details accurate and, where available, provide the official bar-record link used for verification plus any supplemental law firm website or LinkedIn links displayed on their public LAW119 profile. These links help confirm identity and registration status, but attorneys remain independently responsible for their own professional obligations and public-profile accuracy.
LAW119 does not publish attorney ratings, client reviews, or rankings and does not recommend one attorney over another.
6. Client Funds & Billing
Attorney-client legal fees, retainers, trust funds, settlement funds, and refunds are handled directly between the attorney and client outside LAW119 unless LAW119 expressly states otherwise in a specific workflow. The current LAW119 launch does not include client-attorney payments, escrow, payout handling, or milestone billing through the platform. LAW119 does not hold client funds, does not act as escrow, and does not manage attorney trust accounts. Attorneys remain solely responsible for complying with all billing, safekeeping, trust-account, and recordkeeping duties that apply to their practice.
LAW119 currently offers attorneys a 90-day free trial beginning at registration, with no credit card required at signup. An attorney who chooses to continue after that free-trial period may do so at the current LAW119 platform-access price of $39 per month or $379 per year. LAW119 does not charge commissions, success fees, or per-matter fees tied to client selection, engagement, case outcome, or attorney payment.
7. Prohibited Conduct
The following actions are strictly prohibited. Violators may be immediately suspended or permanently banned:
- ❌Guaranteeing outcomes: Promising case results, success rates, or specific legal conclusions to clients in any form.
- ❌Practicing outside your registration scope: Attorneys may not respond to matters in jurisdictions or practice areas where they are not properly licensed or authorized.
- ❌Misrepresenting LAW119's role: Attorneys may not describe LAW119 as their law firm, as an attorney recommendation or matching service, or as responsible for legal advice or representation.
- ❌Premature live solicitation: Before the client affirmatively opens direct contact through LAW119, attorneys may not ask the client to move to phone, text, video, or other live contact.
- ❌Signing contracts on behalf of clients: Attorneys may not sign any documents on behalf of clients without explicit written authorization.
- ❌False credentials: Publishing false license information, exaggerating experience, fabricating case results, or posting unverifiable client testimonials.
- ❌Harassment or misuse of client information: Using client information obtained through LAW119 for spam, harassment, threats, or improper solicitation.
8. Updates to These Terms
The platform reserves the right to amend these Additional Attorney Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated at least 14 days in advance by email or platform notice. Continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you may deactivate your account through account settings.
