The Nolo Pledge

Each lawyer has agreed to:

• Respect clients' efforts to educate themselves
• Provide clients with a clear, fair, written agreement as well as detailed and timely bills
• Perform legal work to the best of the lawyer's ability, regardless of the size or complexity of the legal matter
• Use their professional skills to meet clients' objectives, and communicate regularly with clients
• Be loyal to clients, inform clients of any possible conflicts of interest, and give clients honest and complete advice and information

What the Nolo Pledge means to you:

The Nolo Pledge paves the way for a strong attorney-client relationship by requiring lawyers to adhere to our standards of service: open and frequent communication, respect for client self-education, and consistent professionalism.

Other good reasons to use Nolo to find a lawyer:

Detailed attorney profiles: Each attorney provides the same comprehensive attorney profile full of the information that will help you select the right attorney for your situation. This saves you time by answering a lot of your questions up front. Nolo's unique presentation of each attorney's specialties and qualifications provides you with a significant advantage over "yellow pages"-style listings.

Attorneys have passed a licensing check. Nolo has confirmed that every member attorney has a valid license and is in good standing with the state agency that licenses lawyers upon joining the directory. Directory lawyers are required to notify Nolo immediately if they become the subject of any disciplinary action by any state licensing agency.
