allows the public to search for top quality legal professionals
– screened based on educational background and work experience

Cambridge,
MA - October 7, 2009 - Quigal, LLC announced today that it was
launching its attorney search web site for residents of Massachusetts.
Quigal’s site allows the public to search for attorneys
who have impressive educational backgrounds or substantial work
experience in complex legal matters and allows users to communicate
with multiple attorneys quickly and easily. During the initial
launch period, attorneys authorized to practice law in Massachusetts
are invited to register with the site free of charge until April
1, 2010.
For
Quigal attorney members, a unique feature of the web site is that
the number of attorneys who can register is limited to ten per
zip code, which increases each registered attorney’s visibility
vis-à-vis potential clients.
The
inspiration for Quigal came from attorneys and clients who complained
about the poor quality of existing directory services, both online
and print, recalled Renate Harrison, Quigal co-founder. “My
colleagues complained that existing directories contained so many
lawyers that the odds of engaging
a client were too low to justify the expense, while users felt
overwhelmed by the sheer number of attorneys they had to choose
from and the multiple pages of information they had to fill out,”
Harrison noted. “So I asked what I thought was a simple
question: how can we improve the way clients find lawyers online?
I believe Quigal is the answer.”
As of today, Massachusetts residents can begin using Quigal. Quigal
is built on the idea that users should have confidence in the
quality of attorneys made
available to them on attorney search sites, and that the number
of registered attorneys should be limited, so that each attorney
has a realistic opportunity to engage clients. Key features of
Quigal include:
• Search: Quigal enables the public to
search for attorneys by zip code, city, state, practice area,
or law school attended. Quigal also permits potential clients
to search for attorneys who are available for a live chat.
• Exclusivity: Quigal attorney members
who subscribe to a zip code always appear on the first page search
results for that zip code. A maximum of ten attorneys can register
for each zip code.
• Quality: Quigal only registers attorneys
who have graduated from a top-tier law school or who have substantial
work experience managing complex legal matters.
• Ease of Use: Quigal offers several options
for potential clients to contact attorney members. A simple online
query form and attorney profiles with full contact information
appear on every search results page. Also, a live chat option
allows potential clients to chat real-time with attorneys. Quigal
also allows its registered attorneys to link to their social and
professional networking sites (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter,
etc.).
In the coming months, Quigal will be rolling out its web site
nationally, as well as introducing new site features.
