Attorney at Law
I am a lawyer, a litigator, estate planner and a general practitioner serving the needs of my neighbors, their families and their businesses through the attorneys at the Meyring Law Firm. As a law practice we draft a lot of Wills, start a lot of businesses, write many contracts and give a lot of advice designed to nip problems in the bud before they bloom into a lawsuit. This “lawsuit minimization” strategy is one of the many things considered when a lawyer drafts your legal documents.
People often ask what I think of Legal Zoom (LZ) and other similar online companies that offer wills, contracts, business start ups, and other legal documents. I respond that LZ is a document delivery service and not a law firm. LZ is a good business model and it meets a market demand. Simply put LZ will sell you a document for a price. Not a fee. No advice.
LZ is not my law Firm’s competition because LZ is not a law firm. Rather, the law Firm has recently received a number of new clients with LZ documents that were incomplete or flawed. I have a feeling that LZ will be to thank for a lot of our Firm’s future Will contest clients as well.
Ultimately, you don’t get much for free; you can buy troubles for cheap but lawyers do cost money for good reason. When it comes to legally protecting yourself, your family and your business, is it worth doing it on the cheap?
*Robert S. Meyring of The Meyring Law Firm offers free 10 minute phone consultations at 678-217-4369. The Firm's website at WillsQuill.com has more articles, details, and planning forms. The office is located at the Vinings Jubilee, Paces Ferry Road. Please Google search "Meyring" for an office map.
