What does Attorney Match actually do?

Attorney Match is a free attorney directory. Browse by state, city and practice area, read an attorney's public profile, and contact them directly.

Is this legal advice?

No. Attorney Match is not a law firm, not a lawyer-referral service, and not a substitute for a licensed attorney. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and using the Service does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Anyone in the United States trying to find an attorney who handles their kind of situation: individuals, families, and small businesses.

Searching the directory is free and needs no account. Attorneys can list for free, and can add an optional Elite subscription for a verified badge and a richer profile. Attorneys never pay to rank.

Where do the attorney listings come from?

The directory is built from public court records (including the Free Law Project / CourtListener) and public legal-services directories, plus attorneys who claim and enrich their own listing. Attorneys never pay to rank.

How is this different from a referral service?

A referral service is paid by attorneys to send them leads. Attorney Match takes no placement or referral fees from attorneys and never sends them your case.

Autonomous & assisted driving

Ruling issued

Verdict Aug 1, 2025 (~$243M)

AI system / company: Tesla Autopilot (Model S)
Jurisdiction: United States (Florida)
Court / regulator: U.S. District Court, S.D. Fla.
Status: Ruling issued

What happened

Arising from a 2019 Key Largo crash in which a Tesla on Autopilot ran a T-intersection and struck a parked car, killing pedestrian Naibel Benavides Leon and injuring Dillon Angulo, a Miami jury found Tesla partly liable and awarded about $243 million (including $200 million in punitive damages). It was the first U.S. verdict holding Tesla liable in a wrongful-death action tied to Autopilot; a judge upheld the verdict in February 2026 and Tesla has appealed.
