How the free case review works.
Three steps, no cost, and no obligation to hire anyone.
Three steps.
- 1
Tell us what happened.
Six short questions: the kind of case your lawyer handled, what went wrong, what it cost you, and when you found out. About two minutes, no documents needed.
- 2
See your deadline.
Before you share any contact details, you see your state's general legal malpractice deadline and whether you may be close to it.
- 3
Hear from an attorney.
If you choose to continue, your answers go to an independent attorney or law firm that handles legal malpractice claims in your state. If your situation fits what they take on, they contact you directly.
What we do.
- Publish plain-English guides to legal malpractice and each state's rules.
- Show you your state's general deadline for a malpractice claim.
- Pass your case review to independent attorneys who handle these claims in your state.
- Honor your privacy choices, including opt-outs.
What we do not do.
- We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice.
- We are not a lawyer referral service.
- We do not evaluate whether your claim has merit.
- We do not endorse, rank, vet, or recommend any lawyer.
- We do not guarantee that an attorney will contact you or take your case.
Who pays.
Participating attorneys and law firms pay us a flat advertising fee. They never pay a percentage of their fees or of any recovery, and the fee does not depend on whether you hire them. You pay nothing. Details are in our advertising disclosure.
Your privacy.
Your answers go to participating attorneys and their agents, not to your former lawyer and not to unrelated marketers. Because attorneys pay us, this sharing may count as a sale under some state privacy laws, and you can opt out at any time. Read the privacy policy or use our opt-out page.
Common questions.
Is the case review really free?
Yes. You pay nothing to use the site or the case review. If you later hire an attorney, that attorney explains their own fee terms, and many handle malpractice claims on contingency.
Does an attorney review every submission?
Your submission goes to a participating attorney or firm in your state. Whether they contact you, and whether they take your case, is their decision. We do not evaluate your claim ourselves.
Am I hiring a lawyer by submitting?
No. Submitting does not create an attorney-client relationship with us or with anyone. That happens only if you and an attorney agree to it, usually in a signed agreement.
Does submitting stop the clock on my deadline?
No. Only filing a claim, or a specific rule of your state's law, affects the deadline. If you think you may be close, talk to a lawyer right away.
Can I stop the calls or texts?
Yes. Reply STOP to any text, or email hello@suemylawyer.org to revoke consent. Consent to calls and texts is never a condition of getting a case review.
