You can review the matches and choose who to contact for a consultation. The intake takes a few minutes and is free and confidential. ### Are the attorneys on LexPair licensed in Florida? Yes. Every attorney we match you with for a Florida matter is licensed and in good standing with the Florida 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 Florida 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 Florida residents get help with on LexPair? Florida 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. Pick a practice area during intake to get matched with attorneys who concentrate in that area in Florida. ### How fast will I get matched with a Florida attorney after I submit my case? Most clients receive Florida attorney matches within minutes of submitting the intake form. For more complex matters our team may verify details before connecting you, which can extend the timeline to a few hours. You will receive your matches by email and can also view them on your LexPair dashboard. ### Is the consultation confidential? Yes. Your intake details are encrypted and shared only with the matched Florida attorneys. Communications you have directly with an attorney you choose to engage are subject to the attorney-client privacy rules of Florida. 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 Florida? Yes. LexPair operates statewide in Florida, 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 - [Florida state hub](https://lexpair.com/llms/lawyers/florida.md) - [Criminal Defense practice area hub](https://lexpair.com/llms/practice-areas/criminal-defense.md)
