Important Compliance Notes for Attorneys
Contractor qualifier relationships must comply with all applicable state licensing laws. The National Contractor Qualifier Network facilitates introductions only — the Network does not issue contractor licenses, guarantee licensing approval, or provide legal advice.
Attorneys who wish to refer a client to the Network may do so through Contractor Qualifier Connect. The referral process is straightforward — simply provide basic information about the client’s licensing situation and state, and the Network will follow up directly.
