LawLink

LawLink.com is an online social and business networking platform designed for attorneys, law students, and other legal professionals. Founded in 2007, the site functions as a large directory, featuring over one million attorney profiles that potential clients can search to find legal representation. Professionals can create public profiles, which are optimized for search engines, and share legal documents like articles, motions, and pleadings to showcase their expertise. While the platform is a tool for professional visibility, the public nature of these profiles means that attorneys' professional information is readily accessible. This exposure could potentially be misused by bad actors for sophisticated phishing schemes, identity misrepresentation, or targeted harassment. To mitigate these risks, legal professionals using the service should be selective about the information they share on their public profiles and regularly review their settings to ensure their privacy.
