The Process

From your legal situation to the right specialist.

A clear, guided path, no cold calls, no pay-to-play rankings, no guesswork. Here's exactly how LWYRD works.

01

Tell us your situation

Start the guided intake, no legal background required.

LWYRD's intake begins by asking who you are, a startup, a small business, or an individual, and what area of law you need help with. From there, you answer a focused set of questions about your specific situation: your stage, matter type, budget, timeline, and the kind of firm relationship you're looking for. The whole intake takes about five minutes.

What to expect

  • Three tracks: Startups, Small Businesses, Individuals
  • Plain language, no legal training needed
  • Your answers are private and never shared without your knowledge
02

We find your match

Your answers drive the match, not a generic algorithm.

Once you submit, LWYRD scores every vetted firm against your specific answers. Practice area alignment, matter specifics, your stage, budget range, firm size preference, and timeline all factor in. So does the firm's LWYRD Assessment score. The result isn't a ranked directory, it's a list of firms that are specifically suited to what you described.

What to expect

  • Matched on your specific answers, not generic criteria
  • Assessment performance factors into every result
  • No firm can pay its way to the top
03

Connect when you're ready

You're in control of the introduction.

After matching, you receive a ranked list of firms, each with a fit score and the specific reasons it's a strong match for your situation. You review, save, and compare at your own pace. When you're ready, you reach out. No firm contacts you until you make the first move.

What to expect

  • Ranked matches with fit scores and match reasons
  • Full firm profiles with Assessment results visible
  • Save and compare before deciding

Why LWYRD?

Three things that make this different.

No cold calls

You control the introduction.

LWYRD surfaces your options. You decide who to contact. No firm reaches out to you until you make the first move.

No pay-to-play

Rankings are based on fit, not payment.

A firm cannot buy its way into your results. Every ranking is determined by how well the firm matches your specific intake answers and how it performed on the LWYRD Assessment.

Free to match

Getting matched costs nothing.

The intake is free. The match is free. There is no cost to see your results. If and when you choose to work with a firm, that's between you and them.
