Gavel: Find a Local Lawyer

Gavel helps you find a local lawyer. Search Chicago law firms by practice area and neighborhood, or tap Near me, then contact a firm directly from its listing.

Search by what you need: family law and divorce, criminal defense, DUI defense, immigration, personal injury, estate planning and probate, bankruptcy, employment, workers' compensation and real estate. Then narrow it by neighborhood or suburb: the Loop, West Loop, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Logan Square, Hyde Park, Evanston, Oak Park, DuPage County and more, or search by ZIP.

Every listing shows the firm's office and phone, where its details came from and when they were last checked, and a link to the public lawyer registry so you can check any lawyer yourself.

IN THE APP
- Search law firms by practice area, neighborhood, city or ZIP.
- Near me finds law firms close to you. Your location is used on your phone only.
- Call a firm, visit its website, or send a short message to that firm only.
- Save firms with one tap. Your saved list keeps each firm's phone and address, even without a connection.
- Share a listing with someone.
- Optional "Get updates" notifications about new firms, neighborhoods and features. No account needed, no ads in notifications, and you can turn them off any time.

HOW LISTINGS WORK
No ratings and no ranked lists. Listings appear in a published order, and listings marked Sponsored are paid advertising.

Gavel is an online directory of law firms, operated by Hybrid Foundation, a trade name of Hybrid Advisors, Inc. It is not a law firm or a lawyer referral service, is not affiliated with the ARDC or the Illinois Supreme Court, and does not refer, recommend or endorse any lawyer. Nothing in the app is legal advice, and contacting a firm through the app does not create an attorney-client relationship.
