How quickly lawyers reply
Updated 5 Oct 2026 · 1 min read
Some lawyers' cards in the list say Replies within… — an hour, or a day, for example.

How we work it out
It's the typical time the lawyer takes to respond: the first reply to an inquiry, or accepting or declining a booking request. We calculate it from the replies they've actually given, and update it every day.
Why some lawyers don't show it
We only show it once a lawyer has answered at least five inquiries or requests. If their typical time is longer than a week, we don't show it at all.
Important
It describes the past, not a promise. Any one lawyer may reply sooner or later.
