Dynamic Lawyers is a web site that is revolutionizing how people access legal services and how lawyers promote themselves.
The brainchild of Toronto business lawyer Michael Carabash, Dynamic Lawyers was launched to address two pressing needs: first, the growing lack of access by ordinary people to legal services because of skyrocketing costs, and second, the difficulties that sole practitioners and lawyers in small firms face when trying to market and grow their practices.
Michael's solution, inspired by Craigslist, is an electronic platform where people can post legal questions anonymously and get a response from lawyers via e-mail for free. Both sides benefit: for the public, the system provides the opportunity to conduct research and meet lawyers in a manner that isn’t intimidating or that costs money. For lawyers, the system provides an ongoing stream of potential clients and the opportunity to establish a relationship and demonstrate professional expertise.
The site accommodates questions covering most common legal areas including personal injury, labour and employment, family, business, criminal, highway & traffic tickets, immigration, insurance, landlord and tenant, intellectual property, real estate, tax, and wills and estates.
As well, Dynamic Lawyers is building a library of free legal resources. They’ve begun by posting answers to 41of the most common questions dealing with business structures in Ontario. Of particular interest to professionals who team up with other firms for joint ventures is a blog entry explaining the basics of joint venture agreements and contracts. You can access the blog entry here.
