Attorney directory & public records

Our directory includes “unclaimed” attorney profiles compiled from publicly available sources, such as public bar-license records. These profiles are not created or confirmed by the attorney, and Lawyers4Arabs is not affiliated with them. Any attorney may claim their free profile, request corrections, or request removal at any time by emailing support@lawyers4arabs.com.

Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above:

• Client inquiries & contact requests: kept while we connect you with an attorney and for up to 24 months afterward, then deleted or anonymized.
• Lawyer accounts & listings: kept for the life of the account; when an account is closed, the public listing is removed immediately and remaining records are deleted on request.
• Public-records (unclaimed) listings: kept while the information remains publicly available; removed promptly on a verified request.
• Payment & billing records: retained by our payment processor (Stripe) as required by tax and accounting law, typically up to 7 years.
• Analytics data: retained per our analytics providers’ standard periods (generally up to 14 months).

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience and, with your consent, for analytics and advertising.
