LegalMatch calls our office regularly…

05/27/24 LegalMatch calls our office regularly and we have asked them REPEATEDLY to remove us from their call list, and that our attorneys will not pay or contract for referrals. If the client would like to contact us directly we can respond appropriately....yet they continue to call, continue to be dishonest about the nature of their call to get past the people answering the phones. They have even insisted they are not a referral service and not asking for payment for the referral. I would not trust them.
05/21/25 UPDATE Legal Match is still harassing us-and I say harassing because we still get calls regularly (so far about 3 in the past weeks time) and EVERY time we ask if it is Legal Match and when they confirm we tell them that we have asked repeatedly that we be removed from their list and that they stop calling. It has not been done and it has been a year since the last review. They obviously encourage their employees to disregard any such request…Self-serving plug below by Legal Match notwithstanding,

Tami,

I'm sorry to learn that you keep receiving unwanted calls. If you provide your firm's name, I'll make sure it's added to the Do Not Call list.

Please also know that LegalMatch is one of the most effective providers of legal leads, providing the benefit of targeted marketing strategies (such as keyword research, on-page SEO, local SEO, content marketing, link-building and more) at a scale individual law firms cannot achieve on their own or even with an in-house team. These marketing activities attract more than 40,000 case leads each month across all legal categories, and our member attorneys receive whatever portion of those leads corresponds with the practice category and location they selected during account setup.

None of this happens on a pay-per-lead basis.

With more than 20 years as the industry leader, we're proud of the attorney-client matching success reported by members such as Family Law Attorney Alan R. from Overland Park, KS who says, “I have grown so satisfied with the return on my investment that I extended my membership for another three years.” We want everyone to experience the kind of results we've seen from members like Estate Law Attorney Doug N. from Chicago, IL who says “I calculated my return on investment and this year it's in the ballpark of five to one or six to one. In other words, I get a return of five or six dollars for every dollar I invest in LegalMatch."

We also understand that not everyone wants this kind of help in growing their law firm.

The most unprofessional company I have…

The most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with. They call non-stop, the employees who call will say anything to bypass you to get to someone in charge, I have been hung up on, I have been on the other line and cannot pick up and they will continue to call. If I could block their number I would but they call from different lines constantly. Not sure where you get your employees but I have let the partners at the law firm know never to use this trash company.

Aaron,

You're not getting the results you expected from your LegalMatch investment, and that is understandably frustrating.

We want all our members to experience the kind of success we know is possible from feedback such as we received from Kristoffer S. in Meridian, ID who says, "LegalMatch is providing quality leads at an affordable price. I feel like it's more of a partnership between my office and LegalMatch and not just me paying a subscription for leads that I don't use."

One thing we've learned over more than 20 years as the industry leader is that attorney success with the LegalMatch system is all about how you follow up. We provide a steady stream of leads, but only you can do the deeply personal work of screening, qualifying, and then consulting with prospects to convert them into paying clients.

Because these business skills are generally not taught in law school, we've been developing resources to help members like you get the most out of your investment. You can get started with these at: https://www.legalmatch.com/attorneys/resources/

We also encourage you to work with your account manager so they can provide individualized guidance and help you get your LegalMatch membership working for you as intended.

Kind regards,
Jessie

Fraudulent company

I was told that as an attorney once I signed a contract with this company, I would be getting multiple valid leads a month to generate business. This has been all a lie. The majority of the people believe that this is a free legal service and my $600 monthly has been nothing but a waste of time and money. No one helps you and no one follows up with you. All they care about is collecting their fee and they do not help you as an attorney. Don't ever sign up with these people. Someone should legally investigate this company for misrepresentation. My licensed to multiple states and have a vast amount of experience and this has been nothing but a big fraudulent scheme by this company

Boglarka,

For more than 20 years, thousands of attorneys have had success with LegalMatch. There have also been a few who expressed unhappiness with our service. We’ve found that in those instances, it’s often because the attorney was not following the system as it is designed to work.

Our records show that you currently have 46 new cases that haven't been opened, of the 10 cases to which you have responded you reported 2 as engaged and another 1 hired a different attorney (which means they were a viable lead). Many of our members consider this an excellent conversion rate, and since your membership is only one month old it seems like you haven't really given the system a chance to work well for you.

Given that many client leads do not share the full details of either their case or their ability to pay for legal services, it seems you have prematurely decided that it's not worth your time to follow up and have the kind of conversations that we know are necessary to generate business from the case leads you receive.

We want you to experience the kind of success we know is possible for you based on experiences like Attorney Edward L. from Tulsa, OK who says, “I’ve had a few other lead generating systems and LegalMatch does better than these, I think it does a good job. I’ve stayed with LegalMatch, I’ve renewed my contract twice, so it tells you something good about a LegalMatch membership.”

Please work closely with your account manager so they can provide individualized guidance and help you get your LegalMatch membership working for you as intended.

I do not recommend using this website…

I do not recommend using this website for an attorney. I had several attorneys connect with me through Legalmatch.com and they were either lack knowledge, didn't have a good reputation from former clients, looking to rip you off, only have a virtual office, or displayed behavior of narcissist.

The attorney that riched out to me named Danny Song located in Englewood Cliffs, NJ; had the nerve to question wether my case was true or not; despite the abundance of evidence that supported all my complaints.

He even had the nerve to drive it to the point of how much money I can afford to spend on a case. Bingo! This shown me he simply wanted to know how much he could drain from me.

The fact he didn't speak about his experience, how many cases of my type tells me he was simply out to get fast money up front.

Don't bother using this website and you are best on your own researching attorneys in your area.

Sounds like you were connected with several attorneys through the LegalMatch platform -- which we consider a success -- but did not find the quality of match you were hoping for. Much like in the dating world, this can be a disappointment. We understand your frustration.

We also recognize that you may not have understood that once LegalMatch has done our part in sharing your information with our network of qualified attorneys, each lawyer must also decide whether a client is a good fit for their specific practice. This involves digging into the details of a client's case, considering how they will be compensated for their efforts, and what the risks are to the client of pursuing a case that may not "pay off" in the end due to the real constraints of our legal system.

For most legal matters, most lawyers do require some form of up front payment (called a retainer) to retain their services. It sounds like you were not expecting this, and it left you with a bad impression.

We verify that each of our member attorneys are in good standing with their state bar before we allow them to join LegalMatch. If a lawyer fails you, please know that you have the right to file a complaint against them with the bar.

Ravane,

Your expectations were not met, and that is understandably frustrating! Without the specifics on whether you actually signed a retainer agreement, it's hard to determine whether this attorney did anything wrong or whether your unsatisfying experience was due to miscommunication.

Either way, we're glad to know that you were successfully matched through LegalMatch's free service.

We review each attorney before they join LegalMatch, and do not allow membership to anyone who has an open complaint with their state bar association. If a lawyer fails you, please know that you have the right to file a complaint against them with the bar.

Law Office of Thomas M. Bundy
I advise everyone DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY HE WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND NOT GIVE IT BACK retained him and he didn’t talk to me or show up to court and when I asked him for my money back, he said I owed him for talking to me. We only talked for literally 10 minutes just saying be aware do not hire him. He is the worst attorney ever.

Yolanda,

Over the past 20 years, millions of clients have had success with our free attorney-client matching service. There have also been a few who were displeased. We’ve found that in those instances, it’s often because of a misunderstanding about how both LegalMatch and the legal industry work.

As described on our website, here is how our service works for clients like you:

1. You answer questions to share the specifics of your legal issue and provide available times so that interested attorneys can schedule with you.
2. Pre-screened lawyers in your requested practice area and location review your case within 24 hours.
3. If you permit us to share your contact information, interested lawyers respond to initiate a conversation.
4. At that time, you may schedule a consultation with one or more interested lawyers, during which you and each attorney determine whether there is a good fit for working together on your case.

Unfortunately, even when matched, some clients are unable to secure an attorney for a variety of reasons including bad timing (lawyers often need to prioritize their existing clients over potential new clients) and case details that don’t really align with the attorneys specialty.

We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your recent LegalMatch experience. You didn’t get the representation you were seeking, and that is understandably frustrating.

Not worth the money.

They promote themselves as a matching referral service but they do absolutely no intake of PCs at all. They do not filter out any clients whatsoever, so their claim of having thousands of potential clients seeking attorney assistance is more like 100s who actually are ready to hire an attorney or even have a case that can be worked on. On top of that, you are competing to reach the client first from other LegalMatch members. They prey on newer attorneys hoping to build business, but are no more than a funneling system for PCs doing online research on their issue. You are better off joining your local bar association's referral program until you build a name for yourself. Save yourself the money on worthless leads, and always be weary of companies that do not offer a 30-day money back guarantee. If their services were this valuable, why not allow people to have a tryout period???

Rudy,

Given that you are still very new to the membership, it seems you could use more support in navigating the LegalMatch platform and system. We have faith that if you share your concerns with your account manager, they will be able to guide you on how to maximize the return on your investment.

LegalMatch receives more than 40,000 case leads each month across all legal categories, and each member attorney receives whatever portion of those leads corresponds with the practice category and location they selected during account setup. We cannot do the deeply personal work of screening these leads for you, and neither does your local bar association. There are just too many factors to consider, and only you can know which cases are valuable based on your personal practice-building goals.

In contrast to the bar associations, we recommend clients talk with at least 3 lawyers before making a decision on which one to hire. One of our goals is to improve client access to justice by sharing their information with multiple attorneys so they can compare and make an informed choice. We consider this a win-win, because each lawyer gets more leads in total, and each client gets the opportunity to speak with more attorneys than their local bar will share. Our members are required to be in good standing with their local bar association, and we see LegalMatch as a complimentary service not a competitive one.

In addition to a 7-day free trial, the majority of our memberships do come with a money-back guarantee which has specific requirements based on data-driven best practice recommendations. Having been in this business for more than 20 years, we aim to build a long-term partnership with each of our members.

We want you to experience the kind of success we know is possible for you based on experiences like Attorney Alan R. from Overland Park, KS who says, “I have grown so satisfied with the return on my investment that I extended my membership for another three years.”

Please work closely with your account manager so they can provide individualized guidance and help you get your LegalMatch membership working for you as intended.
