What does Attorney Match actually do?

You describe your legal situation and pay a one-time $10 fee. The software classifies your matter, ranks the attorneys we have whose public profiles fit your case and your state, and writes a personalized outreach letter for each one that you can edit and send. The number of matches varies by state and practice area. It is a directory and matching tool — it helps you find an attorney, it does not replace one.

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 or in your results is legal advice, and using the Service does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Anyone trying to find the right attorney for a specific situation — individuals, families, and small businesses who want a qualified, jurisdiction-matched shortlist instead of guessing through search results.

What does it cost, and is there a subscription?

It is a one-time $10 fee for an initial case, $5 for a re-run on an existing account, and free filtering of results you already paid for. There is no recurring billing, ever.

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.

Will you contact attorneys for me or sell my information?

No. We draft outreach letters for you to send. We never blast your matter to anyone and we do not sell your information. Your case description and uploads are encrypted at rest.

How is this different from a referral service?

A referral service is paid by attorneys to send them leads. Attorney Match takes no money from attorneys and never sends them your case — it ranks public profiles by fit and hands you the shortlist and draft letters to act on yourself.

State of New Mexico v. Meta Platforms, Inc.

Child safety

Ruling issued

Verdict Mar 2026 ($375M)

AI system / company: Meta/Instagram
Jurisdiction: United States (New Mexico)
Court / regulator: First Judicial District Court, Santa Fe County, New Mexico
Status: Ruling issued

What happened

New Mexico AG Raul Torrez sued Meta in 2023 after an undercover operation using a decoy profile of a 13-year-old girl drew solicitations from adults, alleging Meta violated the state Unfair Practices Act and misled the public about exploitation and mental-health risks to teens. In March 2026 a Santa Fe jury found Meta liable for misleading consumers and endangering children — the first state to prevail at trial against a major tech company over harm to youth — with a $375 million civil-penalty award.
