    Have any of you been involved with this “referral source”? I would like some feedback before I even consider it.

    I am concerned by this: http://butidideverythingrightorsoithought.blogspot.com/2012/01/legalmatch-grease-trap-for-solos.html

    Do NOT do it.  I got sucked in, and I am looking for a way to break the contract.  If anyone out there can help me with this, I would appreciate it.  They suck you in with a list of cases that look so promising they have you salivating to get involved in them, but once they hook you, the cases are crap.  

    I spoke with one man who would only hire me if I could guarantee him the outcome he wanted.  All of the others could not afford to pay me.  They wanted me to take their case on a promise of $50 per month. One woman called me and asked why I couldn't do it pro bono.

    If anyone can offer any help to get me out of this, I will love you forever.


    Very truly yours,

    I'd mull over a"fraud in the inducement" argument.

    Hello,

    I have gone through their process and find that their cases are not worthwhile and they try to lock you into exorbitant fees. They do not guarantee anything and it seems impossible to terminate. There are a lot of complaints and I suggest to stay far away. They are relentless with their marketing and hard sell.

    Appreciate any information for good experiences with other alternatives.

    Best,

    Sam Young

    Thank you. As I suspected.

    Other than joining your county bar's lawyer referral service, which for me has been great as far as Middlesex County's goes over the many years I have been a member, and SEO for your website and blogging on your site, and others, I have stayed away from these services.

    I get calls from Avvo constantly and despite telling them no, they keep calling and I keep refusing to take their calls.

    What about pre-paid legal services like LegalShield? I've heard some good things about them. I'm in the process of reviewing their agreement and I'm reading carefully for the "catch".
