About LawTopix

Our Goal

LawTopix was founded with one goal in mind – to get legal information to the public for free. We also recognize that this site serves as a crossroads for the general public, businesses, other organizations and attorneys from all backgrounds.

LawTopix was founded by a practicing lawyer who recognized a need that wasn’t being fulfilled. People need access to good legal information without the hassle and expense of a membership site or having to provide their contact information. Lawyers often need to refer clients to other lawyers who practice in a different area of law or different region. Most lawyers do not know another lawyer for every area of law or every region. This website is designed to aggregate and organize large amounts of useful state-specific legal information, serving as a resource and springboard for networking among lawyers, businesses, organizations and the public.

Why LawTopix?

The yellow pages are dead. Most people don’t feel comfortable dropping their finger on a listing in a phonebook when they need a lawyer. LawTopix allows you to do some preliminary research on the topic you are interested in and locate an attorney who may be familiar with that area of law before you contact them. You can’t get this kind of information from a phonebook. Plus, LawTopix is your one-stop site for a variety of regions.

Our Content

We don’t allow filler or useless material on the site. Lawyers write all of the articles on this site. Before any lawyer can publish on this site, they must provide their state bar identification number. We do not allow non-lawyers to publish on this site. The articles on this site are written in plain English and meant to be read by everyone. All of the article pages are easily printable so you can take them with you.

Legal Information, Not Legal Advice

This site is intended to provide legal information, not specific legal advice. The articles on this site are a great starting place for your topic of interest. But the articles should not be treated as legal advice for your specific legal issue. You should always consult a licensed attorney before making any decisions or taking any specific action. LawTopix is not a law firm and does not represent anyone in any legal matters. While LawTopix makes every effort to ensure that its content is only provided by attorneys, LawTopix cannot and does not guarantee the authorship, accuracy or reliability of any particular article. This is an excellent site that is full of useful information, but it should not be taken out of context or substituted for the advice of a licensed attorney.
