Please note that your law firm will not be listed in every category, or even a majority of categories. Inclusion of firms is based upon an editor's review of your website. Most firms will be listed in only one category. Firms with a broad range of practice areas will be classified depending upon their typical client:

General Practice -- General practice firms have, as their primary focus, the service of the legal needs of individuals, and the basic needs of small businesses. Firms that offer a mixture of representation for such matters as personal injury, personal bankruptcy, criminal defense, family law, workers' compensation, consumer protection, plaintiff-side employment law, residential real estate, and estate planning should classify themselves as "General Practice".

Business and Corporate Law -- Law firms in this category have, as their primary focus, the service of the needs of business clients. Firms that offer a mixture of representation for such matters as transactional law, securities regulation, intellectual property, trade and commerce, administrative law, labor law, environmental law, real estate development law, or business taxation, should classify themselves as "Business and Corporate Law".

* If your firm has more than one website, please choose a single URL for each category where you wish to list your site. You risk having your submissions excluded, if you submit to a single category of practice under multiple URL's. Please note that submitting under multiple URL's or internal links will not allow you to submit to more categories than would be allowed with a single URL.
