How do I answer legal questions?
Who can answer, where to find questions for you, and the steps to write and post an answer.
Last updated:
Visitors post their legal questions in the “Legal questions” section, and verified lawyers' answers appear under their office name with a link to their listing, which earns you visibility and trust.
Who can answer?
Only listings that are claimed, verified and published. Otherwise you'll see “Answering questions is available to claimed and verified lawyers”. Verify your licence first.
Find questions
- Press Questions for you in the lawyer dashboard or open Questions for you.
- The list shows published questions you haven't answered, sorted by how well they match your practice areas and city and by those with no answers yet.
- Switch between “In my area and city” and “All questions”.
Write the answer
- Press Answer this question under it.
- If you have several listings, pick Answer as the one to use.
- Write your answer (80 to 8000 characters) or start from an AI draft.
- Press Publish answer.
One answer per office per question is allowed (“You already answered this question”).
After publishing
The asker is notified by email and your answer appears on the question page and on your listing. The asker may pick it as “Best answer”. Track your latest answers under My recent answers. See My answer wasn't published.
