The Lawyer Guide is a safe platform that helps clients find the right lawyer

The Lawyer Guide was founded in 2020, and is owned and operated by Advokatguiden AS. The company is based in Oslo, with operations in Switzerland, Norway, Denmark and USA. The Lawyer Guide is a user-centric and web-based service for finding and ranking lawyers. At TheLawyerGuide.com, all lawyers, paralegals and paralegals in California are listed, a total of close to 200,000. Over a thousand lawyers have already claimed their profile, and hundreds have activated a Premium profile. Thousands of reviews of lawyers have been published. We aim to always be up-to-date with correct information about Californina lawyers, legal assistants and paralegals. In order to ensure the platform's quality, we obtain our information primarily from the Californian Bar Association.

Erling Løken Andersen Founder and chairman of the board

Norwegian IT entrepreneur and former lawyer. Qualified lawyer (LL.M) at UiO and 3-year Art Director from Westerdals. In 2004, Erling founded the digital marketing agency Omega Media. One of the products the company developed was the former Norwegian online community Biip.no, which was launched in 2005. In 2008, Omega Media and Biip.no were sold to TV2 and Egmont for NOK 76 million. Following the sale, Erling received a tax claim in millions, which inspired him to start studying law. Erling bought back Omega Media towards the end of 2012, and completed his studies on a part-time basis alongside a full-time job. He eventually won the tax case against the state. Erling then worked as a lawyer until 2019, when he left the legal profession to found The Lawyer Guide.

Why The Lawyer Guide?

Our ambition is to be the most complete website for information about lawyers, not just in little Norway where we are from, but the whole world.

It should be easy to find a lawyer

On our main page, you can easily find a lawyer by searching for name, keyword, place and legal field. You can sort your match by popularity or score, and compare thousands of profiles. The lawyer guide helps you find the best lawyer for your needs.

Find the best lawyer

We highlight the best lawyers. On The Lawyer Guide, former clients can write reviews. Based on total scores for legal skills, availability, quality of work, implementation and communication, we rank California's best lawyers. All reviews are published anonymously. To ensure the platform's quality, we carry out an ongoing assessment of all incoming reviews.

Get free legal help for various legal matters from different lawyers

At The Lawyer Guide, it is easy to get in touch with a lawyer, completely free of charge. On our main page you can fill in our offer form. Based on legal subject area and geographical distance, we send your inquiry to up to three lawyers. Within a short time you will receive a free, non-binding offer from a lawyer.

The Lawyer Guide is the lawyer service of the future

The lawyer's guide invites today's lawyers, legal assistants and paralegals to dare to think new. Together we can contribute to increased transparency and democratization of the legal profession. This is how we can realize the goal of making current and future legal services more accessible to most people.
