Protect your law firm
from advertising risk.
BarGuard scans for potential bar advertising issues and organizes findings with rule citations, page evidence, and a clear record of what was reviewed.
Every scan checks for
You shouldn't have to re-read
every page to check it.
You know the rules. Checking every page is the bottleneck.
You don’t need to learn bar advertising rules — you need a faster way to check 50 pages against them.
Manual reviews don’t scale
Reading every page against every rule is hours of work — and it has to happen again every time your site changes.
Your website changes faster than you can review it
Every copy edit, landing page, and campaign update can introduce something worth a second look — and most firms have no system to catch it.
Monitored in four steps.

Flagged items with rule citations and evidence — you decide what needs attention.
Monitor continuously
Recurring scans with email and Slack notifications.
You make the call. We save you the read-through.
BarGuard scans your pages against a verified database of state bar advertising rules and flags anything that may warrant a closer look — so you can spend your time on the items that matter, not reading every page line by line.
Each flagged item includes the specific rule citation and the exact language from your page — everything you need to make the call yourself.
Build a paper trail
before you need one.
Continuous monitoring does more than flag potential issues. It creates a dated record of scans, findings, and follow-up activity that helps demonstrate a proactive approach to advertising compliance.
Timestamped scan history
Every scan is logged with the date, pages reviewed, rules checked, and results.
Evidence on file before you need it
Each finding includes the relevant rule citation and the exact page language that triggered review.
A more defensible compliance process
Documented monitoring helps show your firm was actively reviewing and addressing risk over time.
Protection that compounds over time
The longer you monitor, the stronger your internal record of compliance activity becomes.

Frequently asked questions.
What does BarGuard scan for?
BarGuard checks attorney web pages against state bar advertising rules covering required disclosures, prohibited content, testimonial rules, fee advertising regulations, specialization restrictions, solicitation boundaries, and filing requirements. You can also define custom rules specific to your firm.
How does the free scan work?
Enter any URL and select your jurisdiction. BarGuard scans the page, analyzes it against that state’s bar advertising rules, and returns a scan report with a score, individually flagged items, rule citations, evidence quotes, and suggested areas for review. Create a free account in seconds to get started.
Which states are covered?
We currently cover Florida, with additional states in active development. Each jurisdiction’s bar advertising rules are individually researched and verified against official sources. Want to know when your state launches? Contact us.
How accurate is the AI analysis?
Powered by the latest AI models, every flagged item includes a confidence score, the specific rule citation, and the exact evidence quote from your page. You can verify each flagged item against the cited rule yourself.
What are custom rules?
Custom rules let you define firm-specific compliance requirements in plain English. BarGuard checks them alongside standard bar advertising rules during every scan. Available on Agency and Enterprise plans.
Can I share reports with clients?
Yes. Every scan generates a shareable report link that anyone can view without logging in. Share it with clients, partners, or compliance committees. You can also export PDF reports on paid plans.
How is pricing calculated?
Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance. One credit equals one URL scanned against one jurisdiction. Unchanged pages are detected automatically and skip re-analysis to save time. Choose a plan that fits your page count and upgrade anytime.
Do I need to install anything?
No. BarGuard is a web application. Enter a URL, get a report. For continuous monitoring, create an account and add the URLs you want to track.
Will BarGuard support multi-state firms?
Yes. Each monitored URL can be scanned against multiple state rule sets simultaneously with separate findings per jurisdiction. As new states go live, multi-state firms can run scans across all of them in a single scan.
What happens when my website content changes?
BarGuard tracks page content between scans using content fingerprinting. When a change is detected, every previous finding is re-verified by the AI to determine whether it’s still present, fixed, or regressed. Unchanged pages are skipped automatically to save processing time.
Can I integrate BarGuard with our existing tools?
BarGuard supports email and Slack notifications with configurable alert rules. You can set triggers for new flagged items, severity thresholds, score drops, and weekly digest summaries. PDF report export and shareable report links are available for external distribution.
How does the issue highlighter work?
The issue highlighter loads your actual web page in a secure preview and overlays color-coded markers on the exact text or section where each flagged item was found. Click any marker to see the rule citation, evidence quote, and suggested area for review.
Is BarGuard a substitute for legal counsel?
No. BarGuard is a compliance monitoring tool, not a law firm. It flags potential issues based on bar advertising rules and provides rule citations and suggested areas for review. Always consult qualified counsel for legal advice.
How do scheduled scans work?
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly scan schedule per project. BarGuard automatically scans all enrolled pages on schedule, tracks changes, re-verifies existing findings, and sends you a notification when new items are flagged or resolved.
