What do the "Verified" and "Featured lawyer" badges mean?
The difference between verification, a paid spotlight, and an unclaimed profile — and what badges do not guarantee.
Last updated:
Three different states appear on profiles, and they should not be confused.
- Verified (Verified lawyer): the lawyer submitted their Ministry of Justice licence and we checked that it matches at face value. The badge means licence details were submitted and reviewed; it is not a guarantee of service quality.
- «مميّز» / Featured lawyer: the office bought paid advertising (a Spotlight) that pins it first in lists with the gold card. It is advertising in nature, not a judgement of competence. Offices on a paid plan come next, then free listings, without a badge.
- Unclaimed profile: a profile listed from public sources that its owner has not activated; the details are not confirmed by the office.
