Plainly will introduce you to attorneys, mediators, social workers and other family-law professionals. Here is how we will choose them.
No professionals are listed yet
The standard we will use
We will check accreditation
We will check each professional's registration or accreditation directly with the body that issues it: the LPC, HPCSA, FAMAC, SAAM or NABFAM.
A 45-minute interview
We will talk to every professional about how they work with families, before they join.
Two client references
We will speak to two people they have helped.
Fees in the open
Each professional will publish a fee range and the price of a first consultation, so you know before you book.
A reply within 48 hours
A professional who doesn't reply to an introduction within 48 hours will come off the panel.
Questions
Why will there be no ratings or reviews?
A family matter is not a restaurant meal. Star ratings reward whoever leaves the other side angriest, and they can be bought or gamed. Instead, we will check every professional against the standard above, and after an introduction we will ask you for private feedback, which only our team sees.
Who pays whom?
You will pay the professional directly for their work, at the fees they publish. Professionals never pay Plainly: not to be listed, not to rank higher and not for introductions. Plainly will be paid for by its members.
