.ATTORNEY Domain Overview

The domain extension for US-based law firms and solo attorneys — direct, professional, and instantly trusted by clients seeking legal help.

The .ATTORNEY domain is a generic top-level domain launched in 2014 and managed by United TLD Holdco Ltd (a Donuts company). In the United States, "attorney" is the primary professional designation for a licensed lawyer — and a .ATTORNEY domain makes that designation visible before a prospective client reads a single word. Whether you practice criminal defense, family law, personal injury, or corporate law, .ATTORNEY communicates authority, licensure, and trustworthiness.
