Say Goodbye To In-Person Consultations, Avvo Debuts Marketplace To Let You Price Lawyer Fees Online
It's a given that if you get yourself into a big mess -- say, a major accident or a big financial pickle -- you're probably going to hire a lawyer. But if you are going through something a bit more routine, such as a traffic ticket or a relatively peaceful divorce, you may hesitate to seek out legal advice, afraid that it will cost more than it's worth. After all, even seeking out the right lawyer for the job and finding out how much their services would cost could take up a lot of time; and we all know that time is money.Avvo, the Seattle-based company that brings legal reviews and Q&A online, has launched a new tool to make seeking out just that information much more accessible. It's called "Marketplace," and it essentially lets you research attorneys for your specific case and receive free proposals from potential legal representatives including details on price and approach. In the beginning, Marketplace, which launched this past week, is aimed initially only at the traffic ticket and divorce markets, with other segments to launch in the future.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/I8yyvWtjPQg/
