Thread: Legal Zoom...

Interesting concept. Anyone using them or think their documents are worth a damn? It goes back to... you get what you pay for. Just curious if anyone thinks their stuff will hold up in court as opposed to paying my current attorney $250 an hour.

isn't it just a repository of forms? you'll still need to fill and file them at courts i think.

depends which forms you're speaking of. a lot of their services are a lot cheaper--and just as good--as what an attorney will provide. what they can't provide is the advice that some situations require.

i'd use them again and again.

many of these services you can get yourself fairly easily depending on the service and the state

I think it also depends on what your liability is. If you'e concerned about getting sued for a few thousands dollars per deal, I'd go with Legal Zoom. Their basic contracts and entity formation forms are decent.

If you're talking multi-million dollar contracts, I'd fork over the cash to a _good_ attorney. Only problem is that it's hard to tell who is good until crap hits the fan.

their basic stuff is very solid - and that's the stuff your attorney would just delegate to a paralegal anyways
