Comparison

Lexoor vs HG.org

A long running international legal directory.

Founded 1995 United States, with a global directory focus Global attorney and legal resource directory

Overview

What HG.org really is

HG.org has been publishing an international legal directory since 1995. Its scope is unusually broad, covering attorneys and law firms across dozens of countries in addition to comprehensive United States coverage. The site also hosts a large library of legal articles, guides, and jurisdiction summaries.

In the United States market, HG.org is a smaller player than Avvo, FindLaw, or Justia, but it still generates meaningful traffic in specific practice areas, especially immigration and international business law. The interface is dated and the search experience is basic, but the domain has accumulated significant authority over nearly three decades.

For most United States attorneys, HG.org is a useful supplementary listing rather than a primary channel. For attorneys whose practices touch on international matters, it can be a more strategic placement.

Pricing

What HG.org actually costs

Basic listings are free. Enhanced placements and premium features are sold at modest annual prices, typically a few hundred dollars per year.

The recommendation

Which one is right for you

Choose Lexoor

Choose Lexoor if your client base is primarily in the United States and you want a modern platform designed around that market.

Choose HG.org

Consider adding HG.org as a secondary listing if your practice involves international matters or you want a global directory to complement your Lexoor profile.

Verdict

HG.org is a specialized international listing worth having for cross border practices. Lexoor is the primary United States directory that most attorneys will spend their time on.
