Legal Document Generation Investigation

You may have seen the late-night TV advertisements of legal document preparation companies like Legal Zoom, We the People, Rocket lawyer and Incorp Services, Inc.  These companies sell legal documents to assist people in handling common legal matters and are much cheaper than hiring a lawyer.   Recently, however, a federal court in Missouri, ruled that LegalZoom.com had crossed the line and was, in fact, engaging in the unauthorized practice of law.   

Additionally the State Bar Associations of Connecticut, North Carolina and Pennsylvania have issued opinions confirming that these legal document generation companies may be illegally practicing law in several states where rules are in place to protect the public from those not versed in the practice of law. When a person or company is found to have engaged in the unauthorized practice of law, people who purchased their services may be entitled to a full refund of any fees paid.   If you purchased these services from a legal document preparation company like Legal Zoom, we would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you in getting a refund. 

If our attorneys can prove this happened in your transaction, it may be possible to get a full refund of any amount you paid to an online document generation company. If you would like more information, or would just like to talk with a lawyer experienced in this litigation, please call us at 800-755-0098 for a free consultation or click below to fill out an online free case review. Zimmerman Reed is experienced in handling consumer protection cases and we welcome any questions you may have.
