Justia Lawyer Directory Badges

This badge appears on the profile of any person who has claimed their profile on the Justia Lawyer Directory. It usually means they have more up-to-date business and contact information. These lawyers are more likely to respond to contacts than lawyers whose profiles are unclaimed.
