LegalMatch Review by a Member Attorney

 

 

 

"LegalMatch has been an excellent lead generating tool for me. I have been practicing law for two years. Prior to joining LegalMatch, finding and retaining clients required an extraordinary amount of time and energy, both of which I would prefer to dedicate to active clients.

Since I started using LegalMatch in July 2015 (five months from the date of this review), LegalMatch has consistently delivered quality leads on a daily basis." - Jared Chamberlain

Customer Review

As the content manager for LegalMatch, I occasionally receive feedback from casual readers or from clients who have just posted their legal case to our site. I generally receive two types of feedback: 1) a request for more information or for an edit concerning one of our law library articles, or 2) a request to contribute content to our blogs. But every so often I receive a different type of feedback: someone praising our site for the success they had finding an attorney.

Today, that's exactly what I found when I opened an unexpected message in my email inbox. The message was from a LegalMatch user named Chris; and he had this to say about his experience:

"LegalMatch connected me with an attorney named Chad A. for a recent legal matter I was involved in.  Chad turned out to be fair with his fees and a very responsive attorney. He would always get back to me on the same day regarding correspondence and he had success bringing my case to a satisfactory conclusion. Thank you to LegalMatch and to Chad A. I just want you to know I appreciate all that LegalMatch has done for me."

Many similar reviews from happy customers can be found on our San Francisco Yelp page and our new Austin Yelp page.

Top 10 Employment Law Articles

The LegalMatch Law Library contains a wealth of legal information for a lay audience. In 2014, the content team at LegalMatch worked on organizing some of our best articles into top 10 lists. These lists make it easy to learn about the primary issues surrounding any given area of law. 

For example, the top 10 list on employment law features a valuable information on topics such as unfair termination, employment discrimination, and sexual harassment in the workplace.

LegalMatch Blog Writer Highlight - Danielle Brown

Over the past few months, the LegalMatch law blog has seen a spike in activity thanks to the recent contributions of a few of our newest members of the writing team. It can be a challenge to find writers who consistently take an interest in blog writing. Blog articles are often more challenging to write than, for example, LegalMatch law library articles, since blog articles require a certain level of creativity. 

Over the past few months, Danielle Brown has contributed several blog articles per week in addition to completing her responsibilities with the client services/case review team. Danielle has also written for the law library and has contributed to social media activities. 

Here's a highlight of a few of the articles Danielle has recently contributed to the LegalMatch blog:

• Startups Face Legal Action for Treating Contractors Like W2 Employees
• Six Officers Charged in the Murder of Freddie Gray
• Students Are Jailed for Skipping Class in Texas School District
