About the model

SB37 COA translates legal advertising risk into plain operating deltas.

We help firm owners and marketing leaders see where a public-facing campaign, vendor relationship, AI workflow, or intake system may need more supervision, records, or disclosure review.

Assessment deltas

What the report looks for.

These are the public categories. The assessment does not disclose the internal weighting, thresholds, or escalation formulas used to produce a score.

Responsible attorney identity

Whether the advertising makes the responsible California attorney or law firm clear enough for a consumer and reviewer.

Required disclosures

Whether spokespersons, dramatizations, joint advertising, locations, and State Bar-facing information are handled plainly.

Claims substantiation

Whether results, awards, specialization, volume, speed, settlement, and success claims appear supportable and non-misleading.

AI and synthetic content

Whether AI-created copy, images, testimonials, avatars, videos, or chat responses could confuse consumers or imply unsupported outcomes.

Vendor supervision

Whether SEO, PPC, lead generation, creative, call center, and content vendors are subject to approval, audit, and takedown obligations.

Intake and chatbot review

Whether intake scripts and automated responses are reviewed before launch, monitored after launch, and archived when changed.

Referral and joint advertising

Whether shared landing pages, referral funnels, and co-branded campaigns clearly allocate responsibility and avoid obscuring accountability.

Records and remediation

Whether the firm can prove review history, version control, monitoring cadence, takedown timing, and corrective action.

Office and State Bar signals

Whether the page gives a usable California location or State Bar-facing address signal instead of leaving consumers guessing.

Settlement and cash language

Whether urgent settlement, quick cash, verdict, and recovery-number language is contextualized and not framed as a promise.

Spokesperson and dramatization clarity

Whether actors, avatars, reenactments, testimonials, and generated media are labeled clearly enough for a consumer.

Takedown and escalation readiness

Whether the firm can quickly remove or correct vendor-created ads, landing pages, scripts, and campaigns when a problem is found.
