Question 1

Is there any cost to use Counsel Hound?

Accepted Answer

No. Our matching service is completely free. You only pay if you hire an attorney and they win your case — most work on contingency.

Question 2

How quickly will I hear from a lawyer?

Accepted Answer

Most clients are contacted within 24 hours of submitting their information. In urgent cases, we prioritize same-day outreach.

Question 3

What types of cases do you handle?

Accepted Answer

We cover a wide range of practice areas including personal injury, consumer fraud, defective products, toxic torts, abuse litigation, medical injury, and more.

Question 4

Are the attorneys in your network vetted?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every attorney in our network has been reviewed for experience, track record, and client satisfaction before being recommended.

Question 5

What if I already have a lawyer?

Accepted Answer

We can still help. If you feel your current representation isn't the right fit, we can connect you with attorneys who may be better suited to your case.

Question 6

Do I have to sign anything to use Counsel Hound?

Accepted Answer

No. Submitting a consultation request creates no obligation. You decide if and when to move forward with any attorney we recommend.

Question 7

How does Counsel Hound make money if the service is free?

Accepted Answer

We receive a referral fee from attorneys in our network — only if a case is accepted. You never pay us anything, ever. Our interests are aligned with yours: we want you matched with the right attorney who wins.

Question 8

What information do I need to provide?

Accepted Answer

A brief description of what happened, when and where it occurred, and your contact information. You do not need medical records, police reports, or documents to get started.

Question 9

Is my information kept confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All information you submit is kept strictly confidential and is only shared with attorneys for the purpose of evaluating your case. We do not sell your data.

Question 10

Can I use Counsel Hound if I live outside Alabama?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our attorney network covers all 50 states. No matter where you are, we can connect you with an experienced attorney licensed in your state.

Question 11

What if an attorney says I don't have a case?

Accepted Answer

That sometimes happens, and we'd rather give you an honest answer than waste your time. If the first attorney isn't a match, we can introduce you to others in our network who may see it differently.

Question 12

How is Counsel Hound different from just Googling an attorney?

Accepted Answer

Google returns a paid list — whoever spent the most on ads ranks first, not the best attorney for your case. Counsel Hound matches you based on practice area, geography, and track record. We've spent years building relationships with attorneys who consistently win.
