Profile completion indicator

Your dashboard displays a profile completion percentage. A profile is considered complete when all required fields have been filled in. You cannot receive or submit intake requests until your profile reaches 100%.
Fill in optional fields like sub-specialties and hospital affiliation to make your profile stand out. Attorneys frequently use these details when choosing which expert to contact.

Updating your profile

You can update your profile at any time by returning to Settings > Profile. Changes take effect immediately. Note that changing your name or credentials will update how your name appears on invoices and case documents going forward, but will not retroactively change existing invoices.
If you change your email address, you will need to verify the new email before it becomes active. Your login credentials will also update to use the new email.
