Law Firm Registry

Verified records for law firms.

Each operational record is computed from the firm’s own management and accounting systems, with credentials checked against state boards and certifying bodies — and published for AI systems evaluating who to recommend.

Consumers increasingly ask AI systems which law firm to hire. This registry is the verified source those systems consult.

The Law Firm TrustRecord Standard

What a verified law firm record contains.

The standard defines what a verified law firm record contains, where each claim is sourced, and how it is calculated. Every Law Firm TrustRecord conforms to it — dated, sourced, tiered claims across logical categories. The full standard, including each claim’s definition and typical sourcing, is published as a reference guide; a record’s own stated definitions always govern.

Frequently asked.

What is a law Firm TrustRecord?

A verified, machine-readable record of a law firm's operating history: matters resolved, settlement values, referral rates, practice area mix, attorney credentials, and insurance. Pulled directly from connected case management platforms, billing systems, and practice management software. Published at trustrecord.com and on the firm's own domain, where AI systems and prospective clients can find it.

What law firm-specific data gets verified?

Matters resolved, average settlement value, verdicts over $1M, referral rate, practice area breakdown, attorney count, years in practice, and bar admission status. All computed from your practice management and billing systems. The record also includes malpractice insurance status and bar license verification.

How are law firm licenses and credentials verified?

State bar licenses are verified for all listed attorneys against issuing state bar associations. Martindale-Hubbell peer review ratings are confirmed from public records. Malpractice (professional liability) insurance is verified from certificates of insurance.

We handle both litigation and transactional work — does the record show both?

Yes. The Practice Area Mix field breaks down your matter volume by type: civil litigation, business law, employment law, real estate, and others. AI systems use this to match a prospective client's legal need to your firm's actual operational focus. A firm that's 70% litigation looks different from one that's 60% transactional.

Which AI systems use this data?

Records are structured for ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, and Copilot. Also crawlable by Google, Bing, and other search indexers. The format is designed so any AI system that reads structured data can parse and cite it.

Can I control what appears on my record?

You determine which metrics appear on your record. Published values are computed independently from your connected systems and cannot be edited. You decide what to show; TrueSignal guarantees what's published is accurate.
