Something Fishy with LegalFish
After speaking with Randy (the VP of LegalFish), I was pumped. More clients... less time screening through junk cases... little to no risk? Sounded good to me!
So, I decided to call a few of the references that LegalFish gave me. Here were the results:
One attorney told me that he'd "call back later" after I mentioned LegalFish. Another attorney told me "insider" information... but wanted me to edit out the juiciest details of that information before I published it here... and the resulting interview ended up being completely devoid of usable content =(
Good news, though.
(1) Visitors to my website, and readers of my newsletter... responded to my request for reviews.
(2) I did end up speaking with one of LegalFishe's references -- Robert Noa, a personal injury lawyer -- in Boston, MA. He gave me permission to post a snippet of our recorded interview here:

Also, here's an e-mail that I received from an attorney, which expresses the typical attitude of most lawyers, when it comes to LegalFish:
"I am member of LegalFish. So far its been ho-hum, although its support is very good (as far as responding to questions from me). I have a business practice and the overwhelming majority are PI and med mal related, and of those, a good many are from kooks. When I signed up with them, they made me a good offer. That, together with their money-back guarantee sold me. I'm not sure if I'll re-up with them."
(Editor's Note: This is the typical response that I got from attorneys -- they don't get too many good cases, but then again, they don't really have to pay, either. Also -- a surprisingly large number of people got a "good offer" from LegalFish...
Finally -- Despite the quote above, there is no money-back guarantee -- as far as I know. Although another attorney also mentioned a money-back guarantee to me.)
Based on the lackluster results that attorneys have reported to me, I've decided to downgrade LegalFish to the "Not Recommended" category in my reviews section.
If, for some reason, you've got something good to say about LegalFish -- please contact me.
