I stumbled across Josephs blog entry today 1/27/10 and felt I
needed to respond to some of the statements made in his blog
entry. I work with LegalMatch (www.legalmatch.com) on membership
recruitment activities in a consultative capacity.
"I met a few who are happy with the service but most are very
unhappy and frustrated." LegalMatch enjoys 75% plus retention rate
of it's member attorneys. This means that the vast majority of
LegalMatch member attorneys renew their membership year after year
because the service is working well for them and providing them a
steady stream of new cases that they can review and respond to at
their leisure.
"Very few people log directly on to their websites" As of now
LegalMatch has been averaging 250,000 hits a month to the website
and that has translated to between 25,000 & 35,000 new cases being
posted every month for member attorney review and response.
LegalMatch is not:
- A listing service
- A referral service
LegalMatch is the premier online Attorney/Client Matching service
and has enjoyed unrivaled success and growth in this space for 11
years running now.

saying about their experience with this valuable service please
