- Lawyer and firm profiles are reviewed by our team before they appear in the public directory.
- Messages between you and a professional stay on eLegal, tied to your account.
- Subscription payments are processed by Paystack and verified server-side, never trusted from the browser alone.
- Admins can suspend an account at any time if something looks wrong.
