i Independent: attorney or partner owned, not a network or private-equity roll-up, per public sources at the time of the sweep. Outside San Diego: a firm in another metro that the engine offered to a San Diego client anyway. Firms absent from this table were not named in any completed run.
By intent
Where each firm wins, and where it does not.
The questions are grouped by what the client is trying to do. A firm that is named when people ask who is best, and absent when they ask what it costs, has a specific problem with a specific fix.

Method note
How the numbers were produced.
- 01
Forty questions were written in five intent groups and frozen before the first run. They are reproduced in full above.
- 02
Each question was sent 3 times to each instrumented engine with web search available and a neutral system instruction, so the answers reflect what a client would see rather than a prompt engineered to name firms.
- 03
Every completed answer was passed to a separate, closed-book extraction model that lists the firms and named individuals in the text. Those strings were matched to a published alias table, and any link to a firm's own domain also counts as a citation.
- 04
A firm counts as present in a run if it was named in the text or cited by link. Present runs divided by completed runs is its Answer Share. Runs that named nobody are reported, not discarded.
- 05
Independence and ownership flags are drawn from public sources and the California State Bar census of certified Family Law Specialists in San Diego County. They are labels on public entities, not claims about quality.
- 06
Engine outages, missing keys, and un-instrumented surfaces are reported as coverage gaps. The denominator is never reduced to make a line rise.
Questions
About this page.
Is this a ranking of firm quality?
No. It measures which firms an answer engine names when a client asks a question, nothing more. A firm can be excellent and absent from the answer, and that gap is the entire point of publishing this.
Why does the Index only show one engine?
Because only one was funded for this sweep. The other four are listed as coverage gaps rather than removed from the page, which is the same rule we apply to client reporting: an engine that was not swept is shown as missing, never quietly dropped from the denominator.
We are on this page. Can we see our runs?
Yes. Every observation behind this page is retained with the question, the engine, the run index, the date, and the full answer text. Any firm named here can request its own runs, and we will send them without a sales call attached.
A detail about our firm is wrong.
Ownership and independence flags come from public sources and can lag a transaction. Tell us and we will correct the page and note the correction in the change log.
Your line in the Index
Twenty-five family law slots in San Diego. One firm each.
Every firm on this page can request its own runs at no charge. The Answer Audit turns them into a firm-level baseline across all five engines, with the losses and the competitor names recorded. The Recommended program for family law is territory-exclusive: one firm per territory, twenty-five of them across San Diego County, held in a ledger we honor.
