Review Policy

Who may review

Reviews are for people with first-hand experience: clients, former clients, and opposing parties in a matter where the attorney appeared. Every reviewer attests to that relationship and certifies they are not the attorney, an employee of the attorney's firm, or a competitor. Incentivized reviews - paid, traded, or solicited with anything of value - are prohibited, consistent with the FTC's rule on consumer reviews (16 CFR Part 465).

Content rules

• Write about your own experience, in your own words.
• Do not state accusations of uncharged crimes or professional misconduct as fact. Describe what happened in your matter and how it affected you.
• No personal information about third parties - names of minors, addresses, health details.
• No content from sealed or confidential proceedings.

Screening

Every review is screened before publication against the rules above - typically within a day. Screening is neutral as to sentiment: a review is never held or removed because of its star rating, positive or negative. We publish, hold, or decline reviews; we do not rewrite them. Edits come from the reviewer and replace the prior version.

Verified Client

A review earns a Verified Client marker when the reviewer's relationship is corroborated - matched to a published court record, confirmed by the attorney, or supported by documentation we review privately and delete after the decision. The marker describes our verification process; it is not an endorsement of the review's opinions.

Attorney responses

Attorneys with a claimed profile are notified of new reviews and may publish one free public response per review, screened under the same rules - including the professional duty of confidentiality, which limits what an attorney may reveal about a client matter even in response to criticism.

Removal

Nevada Law Directory removes reviews that violate this policy and honors court orders. Disagreement with a review's opinion is not grounds for removal - the response right exists for that.
