Do AI assistants recommend criminal defense lawyers in Philadelphia?

Frontpagely measures which criminal defense lawyers the engines name across the Philadelphia–Camden–Wilmington metro: Montgomery County, Delaware County, Bucks County and beyond, and what would change the answer.

Prompts we would track for a Philadelphia criminal defense firm

“DUI lawyer in Philadelphia I can call tonight”
“criminal defense attorney Delaware County”
“what happens at a first appearance in Philadelphia Municipal Court and Court of Common Pleas”
“drug possession lawyer near Camden”
“domestic violence defense attorney in Philadelphia County”
“can I get a record sealed in Pennsylvania”

Frontpagely generates prompts like these from your own practice areas and service area, runs them across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini on a schedule, and records which firms each engine names and which sources it cites.

How people in Philadelphia ask AI after an arrest

When someone is arrested in Philadelphia, the family usually has hours, not days, to find a lawyer. More of them now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Gemini who to call for a DUI or a drug charge in Camden, and the assistant’s first few names are the shortlist.

Philadelphia’s metro spills into New Jersey and Delaware, so a South Jersey prompt and a Center City prompt may need firms licensed in different states. Locals ask by county (“Delco”, “Montco”) more than by town.

What the engines read for defense firms in Pennsylvania

Assistants answering defense questions look for firms that clearly list the charges they handle (DUI, drug, assault, white-collar) show real availability, and explain the local process. Accurate after-hours details on the Business Profile and a page per charge type matter more here than in slower practice areas.

People charged in Philadelphia County face the Philadelphia Municipal Court and Court of Common Pleas, and their next prompt is usually about what happens there. Firms that answer that question on their own site are the ones assistants cite.

Measured, not promised

Measurement, not promises: Frontpagely shows how often AI names your defense firm for Philadelphia County prompts, who appears instead, and which concrete fixes would help. You approve every change, and claims about case results stay off the table.

See where your firm stands

The free audit takes about a minute and shows whether AI assistants name your firm today and who they name instead. A free account re-measures your SeenRate monthly; paid plans add the ranked fix plan and verify each fix against the next measurement.

City-level results with thin samples are labeled directional, never presented as absolute.
