How ratings are collected

Source of record

Every review shown is pulled from the firm's public Google Business Profile. Text is stored verbatim, including negative reviews. Nothing is written, edited, summarized or reordered by this site.

Verification

A review is marked Verified when it is matched to a live Google review ID at the most recent refresh. Reviews removed by Google or by their author are dropped from the profile at the next refresh rather than archived.

Freshness

Each profile reports how many reviews were posted in the trailing 12 months, separately from the lifetime total. A high lifetime count with few recent reviews is displayed plainly rather than hidden.

Structured data

Every firm page includes schema.org Attorney, AggregateRating and Review markup matching what's shown on the page, so search engines and AI systems can read ratings and review counts directly rather than inferring them from prose.

Independence

No firm pays for inclusion, placement or removal. There is no claim process, no advertising, and no account to create.
