Editorial Guidelines

Sourcing standards

Every attorney listing originates from one or more of the following primary sources:

• State bar registries.The originating state bar’s attorney search is the canonical source for bar number, status, and admission date. The full list of registries we cross-reference is on the methodology page.
• Public court records. Where verdicts, settlements, or case outcomes are referenced, we cite the originating court record. We do not accept marketing copy as a citation.
• Firm-published information.Office address, phone, website, practice areas, and biographical content come from the firm’s own website. Where there is a conflict between firm-published content and a primary-source registry, the registry wins.

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

Verification cadence

Listings are re-verified against primary sources under three triggers:

• On claim. When an attorney submits a claim via the claim flow, the editor cross-references the firm’s information against the originating state bar registry before approving the claim.
• On removal request or correction. When a listing is flagged via the removal page, the editor re-verifies within five business days and either corrects, removes, or responds with the source supporting the listed information.
• On scheduled review. The full directory is re-cross-checked against state bar registries on a rolling schedule. Listings where the bar status has lapsed are removed.

Conflict-of-interest policy

The editor does not accept payment, gift, or any other consideration from a listed attorney in exchange for inclusion in the directory, placement on the directory, or favorable treatment in editorial content. Featured placement is available as a paid upgrade at a published price; Featured placement does not change the underlying compiled information about that attorney, is visually labeled, and does not influence the quality tier.

Where the editor has a personal or prior professional relationship with a listed attorney, that relationship is disclosed inline on the listing. The editor does not refer cases to listed attorneys, does not receive lead-generation revenue from any source, and does not hold equity in any listed firm.

Legal-information content

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

• State law is quoted verbatim from the official state legislature source and linked back to that source.
• Statutory references include the citation (e.g., “Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003”), not paraphrased summaries.
• 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.
