Richard-

The fact that LegalZoom is advertising on TV doesn’t mean there isn’t validity to the lawsuit. Lawsuits are not resolved over night.

I have also heard that LegalZoom’s trademark business is in jeopardy with relevant authorities looking closely.

They’re still advertising on TV, couldn’t have been much to the lawsuit.

Ben-

Your position is extraordinarily naive. How much experience do you have with LegalZoom and working with former LegalZoom clients?

Once upon a time LegalZoom was legitimate, but over time they started to do more and more and are quite clearly engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. All you have to do to verify this is select a series of legal questions and call their customer service number. You will get answers, which is the practice of law. You are likely not to get the right answers, which is tragic when people rely on them.

The unauthorized practice of law rules and statutes is not about lawyer protectionism, it is about protecting the public. You need to wake up.

Use of the term “legal” in the name of the business, “LegalZoom,” appears to me to be totally deceptive. I have some knowledge and training in law (paralegal certificate) and consumer protection. Yet, on the basis of the name, I “assumed” that “LegalZoom” was a law firm. I wonder how many of their purported “Over 1 million customers” are similarly misled? Personally, I think that using the name “LegalZoom” is misleading and deceptive.
One other thought, with over 1 million customers, can’t they at least hire a couple attorneys to validate the information they are providing?
Fortunately, I always do my homework, especially when it comes to any online product or service. That is how I got to ipwatchdog.com.
