Business Editors

LAKE HELEN, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2001

Strong Demand Cited; Central Florida Launch Scheduled

for June 1, With Miami/Ft. Lauderdale to Follow

Attorneys.com Inc. (Nasdaq:ATTY) today announced it intends to accelerate the launch of the company's 1-800-ATTORNEY legal referral network to June 1 for Central Florida, based upon results of its sales efforts and the positive response from attorneys in the area.

The company expects to launch the network in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area on July 1, one month earlier than planned.

To date, the company has received deposits on contracts valued at approximately $4 million from law firms in Florida. A television advertisement campaign is set to air commercials in English and Spanish that support and coincide with the launch of the 1-800-ATTORNEY legal referral network in these respective regions.

More than 300 commercials already have been scheduled to air in the Central Florida area during the month of June.

The deposits secure a listing within one or more legal specialties on its legal referral network. The company will begin to recognize revenues from these contracts when it launches the network in the respective regions. The revenues will be amortized over the life of the contracts, typically one year.

"The strong response in key areas of Florida where we have focused our sales efforts is extremely encouraging and supports the accelerated launch of our 1-800-ATTORNEY referral network. Based upon our success in Florida, we are quite optimistic about the opportunities in other key regions in the United States and expect to begin similar sales and marketing activities outside of Florida later this year," said Peter Balise, president and chief executive officer of Attorneys.com.

As previously indicated, the company plans to develop a national referral network, 1-800-ATTORNEY, on a region-by-region basis, with an initial emphasis on Florida, its home territory.

The company plans to progressively expand its sales and marketing efforts nationwide and to brand 1-800-ATTORNEY to consumers, as 1-800-DENTIST(R) and 1-800-FLOWERS(R) have branded themselves within their respective industries.

Attorneys.com Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary PCNA Communications Corp. are leading providers of print directories within the legal industry and are executing a strategy of becoming the nation's leading attorney referral network.

1-800-DENTIST(R) is a registered service mark of Applied Anagramics Inc. operated under license by Futuredontics Inc. in the United States. 1-800-FLOWERS(R) is a registered service mark of 800-Flowers Inc.
