The review makes a point of something I have noticed about these online sites:
The company claims that: "With LegalZoom's lawyer-free service, you can save up to 85% off the rates an attorney would charge for the same procedure. " This comparison misrepresents the contribution that an attorney makes when serving a client. It suggests that the LegalZoom service is equivalent to the services of an attorney, when it clearly isn't. The representation suggests that a consumer will receive the same result that they would get if they went to an attorney, which is clearly not the case. Moreover, there are many attorneys who charge fees which compare favorably with LegalZoom's fee structure, so the fees that lawyers charge for comparable transactions which are published on the LegalZoom web site are true of some law firms, but not all solo and small firms.Cheap is cheap, and you need to keep that mind. A little research into what a local attorney will charge for forms and services would do you better than relying on a commercial with nationwide reach.

I want to thank you for blogging. You have provided me with extremely valuable info... I have a question, can a business owner register a dba for another area of interest under the principal business name, even though the principal and new interest are not technically related? Or does one have to go through the formalities the same as with principal. Ending up w/ 2 businesses?
ReplyDeleteI want to thank legal for the comp0liment but here is why there is both the disclaimer above and the policy against answering legal questions. The commenter gives me no facts to work with - even if it were not the policy to answer specific legal questions.
