Editorial Guidelines

Sourcing standards

Attorney listings are compiled from the following sources. We name which one does the work today rather than listing every source we could use:

• Firm websites and the firms themselves — the primary source today. Listing facts come from the firm’s own website, or from the firm itself when it adds or claims its listing. For the listings we compiled at launch, an automated tool read those facts from the firm’s website, each listing was filed under the city whose web search returned the firm (not always its office city), and the description was drafted with AI from the extracted facts. The methodology page explains each way a listing is added.
• State bar registries — not used. We don’t compile listings from registry data and we don’t check listings against it. No listing on this site has been checked against a state bar record. Where we have a state’s attorney registry on file, the full listing pages in that state link to it so you can check an attorney’s standing yourself; the registries we link to are listed on the methodology page.
• Public court records — not currently used. If we ever reference a verdict, settlement, or case outcome, we will cite the originating court record. We do not accept marketing copy as a citation, and we do not publish outcome claims we cannot source.

We do not scrape third-party reviews (Google, Yelp, Avvo, etc.), and we do not republish content from competing legal directories.

What we check, and what we don’t

• On claim. A claim is approved automatically when the person signs in with the email address on the listing or an address on the firm’s website domain; other claims are approved or declined by a person. A firm adding itself through the sign-up flow is approved automatically when its request passes automated checks (listed on the methodology page), and otherwise reviewed by a person. None of these steps checks a state bar record.
• On removal request or correction. When a listing is flagged via the removal page, a person handles the request and corrects or removes the listing. The exception: a removal requested while signed in with an email address at the listing’s website domain, or by the account that manages the listing, normally takes effect right away. A listing that pays for Featured, a free mailbox address, a listing we have restored before, a request over our daily limits, or automatic removal being paused sends it to a person instead.

We do not run a scheduled re-check of the directory, and no listing on this site should be read as independently confirmed.

Conflict-of-interest policy

We don’t accept payment, gifts or any other consideration in exchange for a listing’s inclusion, its content or its score. Featured placement is a paid upgrade at a published price. It is visually labeled, it does not change the underlying compiled information about the attorney, and it does not affect the quality tier. We don’t refer cases to listed attorneys and don’t receive lead-generation revenue from any source.

Legal-information content

Where this site presents legal information — statutes of limitations, damage caps, comparative-fault rules, settlement-range examples — the following rules apply:

• Every statement of state law was reviewed against the statute’s text. Some pages quote the statute word for word and link to the official state source; the rest summarize it in plain language.
• Statutory references include the citation (e.g., “Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003”), including next to a plain-language summary.
• Settlement and verdict figures cite the originating court record, news report, or firm-published case result.
• Where information is approximate or generalizes across jurisdictions, that is stated explicitly.
• We do not give legal advice. Every piece of legal content carries the disclaimer that the reader should consult a licensed attorney in their jurisdiction.

Corrections and updates

When a correction is needed, we update the affected page and append a brief “Last updated” date. Material corrections to legal-information content (statute change, statutory citation correction, factual error) carry a short correction note at the bottom of the page documenting what changed and when. Corrections to a single attorney’s listing are made silently when the change is administrative (address, phone, photo); we do not maintain a public revision history of individual listings.

To report an error, email hello@injuryburnlawyer.com with the URL of the page and a brief description of the error.

Independence statement

InjuryBurnLawyer.com is operated independently. It is not affiliated with any law firm, lawyer referral service, bar association, advocacy organization, or legal marketing network. Its only revenue source is the optional Featured subscription bought by listed firms, and every Featured listing is labeled. There is no pay-per-lead arrangement and no referral fee.

The information on this site is for general informational purposes only and is not legal advice. Listings on this directory do not constitute an attorney-client relationship, an endorsement, or a recommendation by InjuryBurnLawyer.com.
