The Civil Lawyer Online, a New Online Law Firm, Announces Opening
Online, March 29, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The Civil Lawyer Online, a law firm which primarily uses the internet to provide its legal services, announces its recent opening. The firm can be found online at www.CivilLawyerOnline.com, where any client or potential client can learn about the firm, open a free yet secure account, and purchase legal services. These services are usually provided for a fixed price - a price known and agreed upon in advance. (No more wondering "Are they going to charge me $200, $300, or $400 per hour this time?" No more wondering "How many hours are they going to charge me for?" No more wondering "How much is this going to cost me?")
The remarkably straight forward process is easily completed by clients in this manner:
1) client registration and log-in via the secure and confidential website;
2) purchase of the legal services or legal documents desired via credit or debit card;
3) input of information by the client, usually by way of an interactive questionnaire;
4) review and analysis by attorney Jason A. McGrath, owner of The Civil Lawyer Online, and, if necessary, discussion with the client; and
5) completion of the purchased services and delivery of the same to the client via the client's secure and confidential account at www.CivilLawyerOnline.com.
The Civil Lawyer Online provides services for legal matters pertaining to the states of Florida and North Carolina, as well as some matters more 'national' in scope. The firm provides legal advice, analysis and research, as well as the preparation, review, and editing of legal and formal documents. The legal advice offered includes preparation for court, depositions, mediations, and less formal legal situations. The Civil Lawyer Online provides these services in the following areas of law:
• Business
• Divorce and Marital
• Business Start-Up
• Wills, Trusts, Estates
• Contracts
• Debt, Credit, Collections
• Corporations and LLCs
• Power of Attorney
• Landlord and Tenant
• Living Wills and Personal Healthcare
• Human Resources
• Deeds
• Sales of Goods
• Personal Services Agreements
Because of The Civil Lawyer Online's special website platform, most of these services can be provided directly via the internet, and a much lower cost than what traditional firms usually charge. This new and exciting way to offer legal services is intended to help businesses and individuals adapt to today's challenging economic climate without sacrificing quality of work. Clients save money, time and effort and can quickly obtain customized legal services in a low-stress manner. These services are available when the client needs them, not just when a busy lawyer can fit the client into his or her schedule.
Also called "E-lawyering", the providing of legal services via the internet is recognized and approved by the American Bar Association (the largest organization of lawyers in the United States) and most state bars, including the Florida Bar and the North Carolina State Bar. In fact, the American Bar Association has commented that "Lawyers have found a way to use e-mail, discussion forums and even private 'chat' or 'deal' rooms to keep their clients informed and well advised, at significantly lower costs than traditional service models. These lawyers have the vision to see a wholly new market of un-met legal needs.... The Internet presents us with unparalleled opportunities and powerful new tools to provide legal services." abanet.org/dch/committee.cfm?com=EP024500
Much of the services provided by The Civil Lawyer Online are 'unbundled' legal services, meaning that clients can pay for task-specific services instead of hiring an attorney to work from start to end on an entire matter. As discussed on The Civil Lawyer Online's blog, the Chief Justices of both California and New Hampshire recently commented that the providing of unbundled legal services can help close the "justice gap" by making legal services more affordable and accessible for everyone in America.
