Every attorney we match you with for a California matter is licensed and in good standing with the California state bar. LexPair does not practice law itself; we are a referral and matching platform that connects clients with independent licensed attorneys. ### How much does it cost to use LexPair to find a California attorney? LexPair is free for clients. There is no cost to submit your case, no cost to review your matches, and no obligation to hire any attorney. Legal fees are arranged directly between you and the attorney you choose, under their normal rates or any free or reduced-cost consultation they offer. ### What types of legal issues can California residents get help with on LexPair? California residents can find vetted attorneys across major practice areas, including family law (divorce, custody, support), personal injury, criminal defense, immigration, employment law, business law, real estate, wills and estates, bankruptcy, and government law.

Your intake details are encrypted and shared only with the matched California attorneys. Communications you have directly with an attorney you choose to engage are subject to the attorney-client privacy rules of California. LexPair is not a law firm, so submitting your case to LexPair does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. ### Does LexPair work in cities and counties across California? Yes. LexPair operates statewide in California, with attorneys available in major metro areas and many smaller cities and counties. When you select your city during intake, we prioritize attorneys local to your court system and who handle the kind of case you described. ## Related - [California state hub](https://lexpair.com/llms/lawyers/california.md) - [Employment Law practice area hub](https://lexpair.com/llms/practice-areas/employment-law.md)
