For Professionals · Divorce Attorney
The divorce attorney directory where clients come looking for you
The people who find Fresh Starts Registry are not casually browsing. They're in the middle of one of the hardest transitions of their lives, and they're looking for professionals they can actually trust. That's a different kind of client than a cold lead. It's someone who already understands why they need help and is ready to move.
The Fresh Starts Expert Guide is where they come to find their attorney.
What Fresh Starts Registry is
Fresh Starts Registry is the world's first divorce registry and expert ecosystem, founded in 2021. Named by Forbes as the first divorce registry of its kind, featured in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Today Show, and home to 150+ vetted professionals across every category of divorce support. We receive significantly more web traffic than many traditional attorney listing sites — because people come to us for trust, not search volume.
What you get as a family law attorney in the Expert Guide
| Referrals |
Warm client referrals, not cold traffic
Our CEO Olivia Howell speaks with people navigating divorce daily and refers them to our experts personally. Clients who come through FSR arrive already oriented toward getting support, not just shopping for the cheapest option. |
| PR |
Over 1,200 press placements for our members
We actively pitch our experts to journalists. When a family law attorney is needed for comment in a national outlet, we go to our members first. Premium members receive personal, direct press queries. |
| Visibility |
A listed profile that works around the clock
Your profile is SEO-optimised, publicly searchable, and independently indexed. Unlike bar association listings, there's no paywall for clients to find you. |
| Network |
A referral community across every discipline
150+ professionals — coaches, therapists, financial planners, real estate agents — who actively refer within the network. Being the attorney in a room full of people who work with divorcing clients is a good place to be. |
| Community |
Weekly programming and business development support
Two hours of weekly hot-seat coaching, co-working sessions, and workshops. Built for private practitioners who are building and growing without a marketing department behind them. |
| Content |
Podcast and content visibility
Premium members are eligible to guest on Divorce Happens (Top 100 US podcast) and our other shows — reaching an audience that is actively navigating the exact process you help people through. |

- Are in private practice and actively building their client base
- Believe in a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach — and want to be in a network with coaches, therapists, and financial planners who share that view
- Are looking for media exposure and press opportunities in addition to directory visibility

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a bar association directory or Avvo?
Those platforms list attorneys. We build referral relationships. Our audience is emotionally invested, our CEO refers personally, and membership includes community, press access, and business development support that a static listing doesn't.
Do clients pay to access the Expert Guide?
No. It's completely free for users. No paywall, no barrier between a client and your profile.
Is there a geographic restriction?
No. We have members across the US and internationally. Clients can find you by state and specialty.
What kinds of press opportunities come through?
National and regional outlets, podcasts, and digital publications covering divorce, family law, and life transitions. We've placed members in major outlets. Premium members receive personal queries when we've matched them to a specific opportunity.
Can I list multiple practice areas?
Yes. Your profile can reflect your full scope: divorce, family law, post-decree modifications, mediation, collaborative law, and more.
