About this siteAdvertise on caworkerscompensationlaw.com
Two kinds of advertising are available. Attorneys can buy a flat-fee listing on a county directory page, alphabetical with one featured position per county, three-month minimum, with no claims about results, under a signed agreement in which the attorney takes responsibility for the listing's content. Carriers and agencies that quote California employers online can buy a quote-partner placement on the employer pages. The site does not refer, rank or recommend, takes no share of any fee, and may decline or remove any advertiser.
Attorney directory listings
The attorney directory has a page for each of the ten most populous California counties at launch, each showing the Division of Workers' Compensation district office that serves the county and the attorneys who advertise there. Listings are sold directly to attorneys and firms on the following terms.
Content. A listing carries the firm name, office address, phone, State Bar number, languages spoken, and a description of up to 50 words of the practice. It may not claim or imply results, quote fees or settlement figures, compare the attorney to others, or use the words "best," "top" or similar. The site may edit for length and format and will decline copy that does not meet these terms.
Order and placement. Listings appear in alphabetical order by firm name. One featured position per county, shown first and labeled "Featured," is sold separately. Every listing is labeled "Sponsored."
Term and price. Listings are flat-fee by county with a three-month minimum, invoiced in advance. Current prices are available by email. No placement is sold by click, by lead or by case.
The agreement. Before a listing is published, the attorney or firm signs an advertising agreement identifying the participating attorney, confirming an active California license, accepting responsibility for the content of the listing and its compliance with the State Bar's Rules of Professional Conduct, and acknowledging that the site is not a lawyer referral service, does not refer or steer readers, and receives no part of any fee. Business and Professions Code §6155(g) permits attorneys to advertise jointly on the condition that the advertisement names the participating attorneys and that each signs an agreement accepting liability for its content; the agreement is how the site and its advertisers meet that condition.
What the site does not do. It does not collect reader information, operate an intake form, route calls, or match readers to attorneys. It does not screen, rank or recommend. It does not accept payment contingent on cases or fees. It publishes the same §6155 notice on every directory page and may decline or remove any listing at its discretion, with a pro-rata refund for the unused term.
Employer quote-partner placements
Employer pages carry a "Get a quote" card. Carriers, agencies and pay-as-you-go programs that quote California employers online can be listed there as partner links, with a referral fee paid to the site when an employer buys coverage through the link. Partner links are labeled as such, the site does not collect or see the employer's information, and the card lists the information an employer should have ready rather than a form. The site will not list a partner whose quoting process does not comply with California insurance law or who is not authorized in California, and does not accept placements from premium finance or payroll companies that are not themselves quoting coverage.
Display advertising
Display advertising is served programmatically and is labeled "Advertisement." The site does not sell display positions directly and does not accept display advertising from law firms, because a law firm display ad on a page explaining how to find a lawyer would blur the line the directory terms are written to keep.

Questions people ask
Is a listing a referral?
No. A listing is an advertisement placed by the attorney, published alphabetically alongside the others in the county, labeled "Sponsored," and accompanied by a notice that the site does not recommend any attorney. The site does not match readers to attorneys, collect case information, or receive any part of a fee. That structure is joint advertising, which Business and Professions Code §6155(g) permits, not a referral service, which it regulates.
What does the signed agreement say?
It identifies the attorney or firm, confirms an active California license, states that the attorney is responsible for the content of the listing and that it complies with the Rules of Professional Conduct, and acknowledges that the site is not a referral service and will not steer readers. The requirement comes from §6155(g), which conditions joint advertising on each participating attorney signing an agreement accepting liability for the advertisement's content.
Can a listing say "no fee unless we win" or quote a settlement figure?
No. Listings describe the practice; they do not make claims about results or fees. The fee in every workers' compensation case is set by a judge (Labor Code §4906), and the site will not publish settlement figures anywhere.
How many listings per county?
There is no fixed cap; listings appear alphabetically, and one featured position per county is sold separately and labeled. Counties with no advertiser show an empty state rather than a sample listing.
