About Us

An expert by your side, when it matters most

Atticus is a new kind of law firm that helps you navigate the early stages of any serious legal issue.

WHY WE EXIST

Good lawyers are hard to find
Today, most people hire the wrong lawyer for their needs. Why? Because existing ways to find legal help are broken.

Online reviews are misleading

More than 90% of lawyer reviews are positive — but only a fraction of lawyers are actually worth hiring. And the worst ones often have the strongest online presence.

Word-of-mouth is deeply flawed

Your cousin’s buddy (or that guy your friend hired) might be a good lawyer — who knows! But with more than 800 legal sub-specialties, he’s almost certainly not an expert in what you need.

Nobody knows if they’re getting a fair deal

Lawyers’ rates vary widely, but few post prices — or explain alternatives. If it’s your first time hiring counsel, it’s hard to know if you’re getting a bargain or getting ripped off.

To chart the right course, you need an ally — one who's done this before. That’s where we come in. Here's what makes us different:

We’re real lawyers (and darn good ones)

Atticus is a licensed law firm, attorney-led and founded out of Stanford Law School. Our expertise allows us to tackle even the most complex cases.

We’re laser-focused on what you need

All we do, every day, is help clients to choose the right approach and hire the right lawyer at the start of their case. Our wealth of experience is unique in this field.

We work with the best

We vet lawyers rigorously and only recommend the best. Our selection process is old-school: there are no gimmicks, and no one pays to join.

We put you in charge

Atticus is built to empower you. We show you all your options, and explain the differences. You decide which one is best for your needs.

We act in your interest

Unlike other companies, Atticus is legally bound to act in your interest at all times. We'll recommend what's right for you, no matter what.

We embrace technology

How do we do all this and not charge you through the nose? We build technology that keeps us efficient — and makes things fast and easy for you.
