How does LawyerNow help me find a lawyer?
LawyerNow provides a direct, transparent way to connect with attorneys. You create a short profile describing your legal problem, location, and budget. The app will show you compatible lawyers, often with pictures and videos, allowing you to choose who you’d like to connect with directly—no more waiting days for an intake call!
How quickly can I talk to an attorney?
Unlike traditional methods that can take days, LawyerNow aims for immediate contact. Once you select a lawyer, they’re contacted directly via their cell phone and email, so you can often get an answer right away. We even have a 24/7 on-demand feature for urgent situations like a DUI.
What if I need a lawyer immediately, like for an emergency?
LawyerNow includes a 24/7 on-demand lawyer function specifically for urgent situations. If you have an emergency, like a DUI in the middle of the night, you can use the app to send an immediate alert, and multiple criminal lawyers (or lawyers in other relevant urgent fields) will be notified, leading to quick connections.
Can I connect with lawyers who speak a specific language?
Yes, LawyerNow allows you to filter for lawyers based on language. If you need a Spanish-speaking or Vietnamese-speaking lawyer, for example, you can specify this in your search to connect with attorneys who can communicate in your native language.
Do I have to pay to use LawyerNow as a client?
No, using LawyerNow to find an attorney is completely free for clients.
How does LawyerNow ensure I find the right lawyer for my needs?
The app allows you to filter by specific area of law, location, and even what you’re willing to pay as a deposit. Plus, you can view lawyers’ pictures and optional videos to assess their personality, helping you find someone you feel comfortable with, right from the start.
What if I can’t afford a lawyer’s standard fees?
When you create your profile, you specify what you’re willing to pay as a deposit. This means you’ll only be matched with lawyers whose rates align with your budget, eliminating wasted time on incompatible financial expectations.

FAQ For Attorneys
How does LawyerNow help me acquire new clients?
LawyerNow provides a direct, transparent way to connect with attorneys. You create a short profile describing your legal problem, location, and budget. The app will show you compatible lawyers, often with pictures and videos, allowing you to choose who you’d like to connect with directly—no more waiting days for an intake call!
What’s the cost for attorneys to use LawyerNow?
Attorneys pay a flat fee per match, typically around $20 per client connection. This is a significant difference from the thousands of dollars often spent monthly on traditional advertising like Google Ads, offering a much more predictable and cost-effective way to acquire clients.
How does LawyerNow ensure the quality of leads?
Clients fill out a detailed profile including their area of law, location, and deposit capabilities. This pre-screening helps ensure that the matches you receive are highly relevant to your practice areas and financial requirements, reducing wasted time on unqualified leads.
Will LawyerNow help me connect with corporate clients as well as individuals?
While the app is designed for broad consumer access, LawyerNow anticipates that corporate clients will also use the platform to find lawyers. Even large companies seek transparency and better deals on legal fees, creating opportunities for attorneys to connect with corporate legal needs that might traditionally go to large, expensive firms.
How is LawyerNow different from other legal directories or lead generation services?
LawyerNow differentiates itself by offering direct, immediate client-to-attorney contact and transparent, per-match pricing, moving away from expensive, untargeted ad spends. Unlike traditional directories that simply list firms, our app facilitates an expedited, pre-qualified match based on area of law, location, and client budget, leading to higher conversion rates for you.
Does LawyerNow eliminate the need for traditional marketing?
LawyerNow offers a powerful alternative to traditional, often inefficient, marketing methods. While it can significantly reduce your reliance on costly advertising, it provides a direct and efficient channel for client acquisition that complements your overall practice growth strategy.
How does LawyerNow streamline the client intake process?
The app facilitates direct communication. When a client expresses interest, you receive their information immediately, along with their direct contact details (cell phone for texting, direct email). This eliminates intermediaries like secretaries or paralegals, allowing for faster and more efficient initial contact.
Can I control which clients I get matched with?
Yes, you have full control. You can set your preferences for practice areas, location, and deposit requirements. When a match occurs, you can review the client’s problem and choose to accept or decline the connection. There’s no obligation if a client doesn’t fit your needs.
