What is LawChain?

LawChain is a secure legal services marketplace that connects people who need legal help with verified California attorneys. We make hiring a lawyer simple, transparent, and safe.

Unlike traditional legal hiring, LawChain provides escrow-based payment protection, verified attorney credentials, and a transparent review system—all with a simple 1% fee.

Core Features

Verified Attorneys

All lawyers are verified against the California State Bar registry. Look for the green checkmark to confirm verification.

Escrow Protection

Client funds are held securely until work is approved. Both parties are protected throughout the engagement.

Milestone Payments

Break large projects into milestones. Fund and approve work incrementally for better budget control.

Ratings & Reviews

Read reviews from past clients to make informed decisions. Leave feedback to help others in the community.

Secure Messaging

Communicate with your lawyer directly within the platform. All messages are saved for your records.

Document Sharing

Upload and share case documents securely. All files are accessible within your case dashboard.
