Law Firm Review Evidence Benchmark

A transparent, versioned benchmark built from 527,168 tracked public Google reviews across 1130 maintained office profiles, including 1,029 offices qualified for at least one of 121 published practice/city comparisons. The release analyzes 365,756 review texts and keeps raw review content private.

The release publishes 121 practice/city pages across six assessed practices and 25 cities, with 1,029 distinct qualified office profiles and 2,573 qualified practice/city memberships. Pages require at least eight qualified offices; 29 assessed cells are withheld below that gate. Twenty-five wrongful-death cells were not assessed and are outside this release.

Citable Review-Evidence Benchmarks for 2026.08.12-r4

Discovery targeted 50 offices in every assessed practice/city cell. An office profile is included only when it passes the public-review score input gate and has an explicit public-profile practice signal or sufficient context-classified review evidence. This creates a consistent comparison set from public information, with limits where evidence is sparse.

How to Cite and Interpret This Benchmark

Name the metric, release, and coverage when citing a finding—for example, “In Law Leaderboard release llb-pi-reviews-2026-08-02-p108, the median tracked public Google review count across 1130 covered profiles was 191.” Do not describe the dataset as a census, substitute tracked reviews for analyzed texts, or turn review signals into claims about licensing or case outcomes. Read the full methodology for definitions.

Limitations

  • • This is a benchmark of the firms and ranking markets in Law Leaderboard, not a census of every US personal injury law firm.
  • • Tracked public review counts, retrieved reviews, and analyzed review texts are separate measures and must not be interchanged.
  • • Twelve-month comparisons are withheld unless retrieved review history reaches both full windows and each period clears the rating-count threshold.
  • • Review signals do not independently verify licensing, misconduct, legal skill, case outcomes, or suitability for a particular matter.
  • • Published theme prevalence uses only offices whose individual theme result passed all current sample, confidence, and external precision gates.
