eSolicitors for US Attorneys
eSolicitors accepts attorneys licensed by any US state bar. The platform supports all 50 states with API-based auto-verification for California, New York, Texas, Florida, and Illinois, and manual review for all other states.
Applicable Terms
US attorneys are governed by the US Attorney Terms and Conditions available at esolicitors.com/terms. These terms cover fee arrangements, escrow handling, jurisdiction disclosure requirements, and platform use.
State Bar Verification
| State | Method | Time |
|---|---|---|
| California | State Bar of California API | Instant |
| New York | NYS Unified Court System API | Instant |
| Texas | State Bar of Texas API | Instant |
| Florida | Florida Bar API | Instant |
| Illinois | ARDC API | Instant |
| All other states | Manual document review (license + ID) | 1-3 business days |
Auto-verification checks your admission status, good standing, and discipline history at the time of application. If your status changes after joining, you are responsible for notifying eSolicitors.
Multi-State Practice
If you are licensed in more than one state, you can add multiple jurisdictions to your profile. Each jurisdiction can be verified separately. Your profile displays a verification badge per verified jurisdiction.
When you build a scope or quotation for a client, you specify which jurisdiction you are advising under — this is recorded in the scope document.
Fee Structure for US Attorneys
All fees are quoted in GBP. For US clients, the platform displays approximate USD equivalents based on live exchange rates, but actual charges and payouts are processed in GBP via Stripe.
See Fees and Earnings for the full fee table. The same subscription tiers (Starter, Professional, Elite) apply to US attorneys.
The £15 Consultation
The mandatory 30-minute AI Scoping Consultation is priced at £15 (approximately $19 USD at current rates). This is paid by the client and goes entirely to eSolicitors for infrastructure costs.
This fee structure is compliant with ABA Model Rules — it is a platform service charge, not fee-splitting. eSolicitors does not share in your legal fees; it charges a separate platform usage fee per matter.
Client Sourcing in the US Market
eSolicitors sources US clients through:
- Google and Meta advertising targeted to people searching for legal help on specific topics (divorce lawyer, immigration attorney, employment dispute, etc.)
- Organic search — when someone searches "immigration lawyer near me" or "employment attorney," they may land on our public-facing lawyer profiles or service listings
- Plan My Case — clients who use the free AI legal advisor at the end receive a list of matched lawyers and services including your profile
- Direct browsing — the public lawyers directory and services marketplace
Ethical Rules Compliance
eSolicitors is designed to be compatible with the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Key points:
- Rule 1.5 (Fees): The platform fee is not a division of fees with a non-lawyer. It is a platform service charge, similar to paying for practice management software or an advertising platform.
- Rule 7.2 (Communications Concerning a Lawyer's Services): Service listings and profile pages are factual descriptions of your practice areas and services, not prohibited solicitation.
- Rule 1.4 (Communication): The scope document generated by the AI consultation satisfies engagement letter requirements when reviewed and approved by you.
You remain responsible for compliance with your state's ethics rules. If you have concerns about a specific rule, consult your state bar's ethics hotline or opinion service.
