TERMS OF USE
The terms that govern your use of HeyAtty.
Effective date: September 1, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of HeyAtty’s website, platform, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By using HeyAtty, you agree to these Terms.
1About HeyAtty
HeyAtty is an online technology platform that helps users discover, learn about, and connect with independent attorneys.
HeyAtty is not a law firm, does not practice law, and does not provide legal advice, legal representation, or legal services.
Information available through HeyAtty is provided for informational and discovery purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney.
2No Attorney-Client Relationship
Using HeyAtty does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and HeyAtty.
Submitting information, searching for attorneys, viewing attorney profiles, scheduling a consultation, or communicating through the platform does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship with an attorney.
An attorney-client relationship may be established only through a separate agreement between you and an attorney.
HeyAtty is not a party to any attorney-client relationship between users and attorneys.
3Attorney Search and Discovery
HeyAtty allows users to search for and explore attorneys based on information such as:
- Information provided by the user
- Search criteria and selected topics
- Attorney profile information
- Practice areas
- Location or jurisdiction
- Availability
- Other search-related factors
HeyAtty does not endorse or recommend any particular attorney and does not determine whether an attorney is appropriate for your specific legal matter.
The order or appearance of attorneys in search results should not be interpreted as a statement that one attorney is better, more qualified, or more suitable than another.
You are responsible for evaluating and selecting any attorney you choose to contact or retain.
4Automated and AI-Assisted Features
HeyAtty may use automated technologies, including artificial intelligence, to help organize information, identify potentially relevant search topics, improve search functionality, or assist users in navigating the platform.
Any automatically generated topic, category, filter, summary, or similar output is provided solely to support search and discovery.
Such outputs:
- Are not legal advice
- Are not legal conclusions
- Do not determine your legal rights or obligations
- Do not determine what type of attorney or legal service you require
You should review and confirm any suggested search topics or criteria before continuing.
5Independent Attorneys
Attorneys appearing on HeyAtty are independent legal professionals.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, attorneys are not employees, partners, agents, or representatives of HeyAtty.
HeyAtty does not control an attorney’s professional judgment, legal advice, legal strategy, fees, availability, communications, acceptance of a matter, or professional services.
Any legal services are provided solely by the attorney or law firm you choose to engage.
6Attorney Profiles
Attorney profiles may contain information provided by attorneys, law firms, public records, or other sources.
HeyAtty may take reasonable steps to verify certain information, including attorney identity or licensing information. However, HeyAtty does not guarantee that all information displayed on the platform is complete, accurate, current, or error-free.
You are responsible for independently evaluating an attorney’s qualifications, licensing status, experience, disciplinary history, fees, and suitability before retaining that attorney.
7No Guarantee of Results
HeyAtty does not guarantee that:
- An attorney will accept your matter
- An attorney will be available
- An attorney has handled a matter identical to yours
- A consultation will result in representation
- Any particular legal strategy will be appropriate
- You will achieve any particular legal outcome
Past experience, reviews, ratings, profile information, or other information displayed through HeyAtty does not guarantee future results.
8Information You Submit
You are responsible for the accuracy of information you submit through HeyAtty.
Do not assume that information submitted to HeyAtty is protected by attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product protections.
Submitting information through HeyAtty does not itself create an attorney-client relationship.
You should avoid submitting information that you consider highly confidential unless necessary and unless you understand how that information will be handled.
Our collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information are governed by our Privacy Policy.
9Consultations, Fees, and Payments
Attorneys may establish their own consultation fees, legal fees, availability, and engagement terms.
HeyAtty may provide tools that facilitate scheduling or payment between users and attorneys.
Payment through HeyAtty does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship or guarantee that an attorney will accept ongoing representation.
Any legal fees or terms of representation beyond a consultation are matters between you and the attorney.
Cancellation or refund terms may apply as displayed at the time of booking.
10Sponsored or Promoted Listings
HeyAtty may offer attorneys paid advertising, promoted listings, or enhanced visibility.
Where applicable, paid placements will be clearly identified as Sponsored, Promoted, or with similar language.
Payment for advertising or visibility does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by HeyAtty and does not mean that an attorney is more qualified or appropriate for your matter.
11Reviews and User Content
HeyAtty may allow users to submit reviews, comments, questions, or other content.
User-generated opinions belong to the users who submit them and do not represent the views of HeyAtty.
You may not submit content that is unlawful, fraudulent, knowingly false, defamatory, threatening, harassing, infringing, or otherwise harmful.
