The Lanier Law Firm recorded the largest coverage movement in August 2026, declining to 11.5% valid recommendation coverage from 22.0% in July 2026, a drop beyond normal month-to-month variation. This was a decline of 10.5 percentage points. The brand also declined in top-three rate, which fell to 10.2% from 17.9% over the same period. The brand's presence rate stood at 19.9% of qualified observations in August 2026, while its valid recommendation coverage across all qualified observations fell to 11.5% from 22.0% in July 2026.

Category Leader: Morgan & Morgan

Morgan & Morgan remained the category leader in valid recommendation coverage at 40.4% in August 2026, down from 48.5% in July 2026. Senior Justice Law Firm, the next-closest brand, recorded 15.7% coverage in August 2026, placing the leader 24.7 percentage points ahead. Despite the coverage decline, Morgan & Morgan's rank-one rate rose slightly, to 18.7% in August 2026 from 18.5% in July 2026.

Other Movers

The remaining tracked brands moved within normal month-to-month variation. Wilshire Law Firm posted the only notable increase, with valid recommendation coverage of 9.6% in August 2026, up from 8.7% in July 2026. Sokolove Law declined to 3.6% from 7.5%, and its rank-one rate fell to 0.0% from 1.7%. Garcia & Artigliere moved from 0.0% to 1.2% coverage, still a watch item rather than a trend.

Recommendation Placement Snapshot

Valid recommendation coverage measures whether a brand appears in a shortlist, but not how prominently. Among the leading brands in August 2026, placement varied.

Wilshire Law Firm showed a notable placement shift: its top-three rate rose to 9.6% in August 2026 from 6.9% in July 2026, and its rank-one rate rose to 3.6% from 0.0% over the same period. Close coverage can still hide different first-position rates.

Buyer-Intent Distribution

All qualified observations in both months fell into the Brand Recommendation class, covering discovery and consideration intent.

The current public series measures brand-recommendation discovery and does not yet contain qualified observations in the Pricing & Value or Multi-Brand Comparison classes.

Historical Measurement Record

Evidence and Source Layer

The benchmark is built from prompt-level observations that retain the query, AI/search surface, answer, brand outcome, recommendation placement, sentiment, and, where exposed, citations or attributable evidence sources. These sources provide evidence about the information environment in which AI systems generate recommendations. Source presence indicates what information was available to the model. It does not by itself prove that a particular source caused a specific recommendation.

Scope Boundaries

This public benchmark does not measure:

• Market share, revenue, or attributable sales from AI recommendations.
• Every possible AI response a brand could receive.
• Organic-search ranking positions in traditional search engines.
• Social media mention volume or sentiment outside AI/search surfaces.
• Private or sponsored channels such as brand-controlled chat assistants.
• Causality from a metric movement alone; the data records change, not its cause.
