LawStreet > Launches Legal Marketing Service in Rhode Island

LawStreet to Launch Legal Marketing Service in Rhode Island. Looks like LawStreet is launching a product akin to legalmatch.com or lawyers.com’s legal services by request. Can they make it work?

Little information is provided in this release but looks like this is service where lay people complete a form describing their situation and subscribing lawyers are then notified of a client who is a good fit so they may respond to the anonymous client.

I have always liked the name LawStreet, and the energy of of their CEO when we met a few years ago, but the offerings on their site such as the ability to ask a lawyer a question or to find a lawyer in a directory have always been very weak. In most places I ever searched for a lawyer in a directory or a lawyer to ask on LawStreet, there were no lawyers. Lot of fluff with no stuff.

Lawstreet will need to prove to Rhode Island lawyers that times are a changing for LawStreet and that this service will work for lawyers and consumers.
