To all attorneys out there wondering if they should sign up with Legalmatch — Do Not!!! Beware of their tactics. Their services is a pure waste of money. I was promised to be able to retain at least 10 cases a month, but the cases they provide aren't even good enough to meet that demand for one attorney. They say there are only a few other attorneys on the panel, but that's not true.in fact, when my friend went in to sign up on their website, pretending to be a potential client, my information didn't even pop up.
They will require you to write email responses to every single inquiry before you can even get to a potential client's contact information to call them, while there are probably loads of other attorneys on the panel trying to get to each potential client.
They will have you speak to an attorney who has had success with Legalmatch, but they refuse to let you speak to an attorney in your area to find out if the cases are even good. They'll let you try out their system, for a bit, and then con you into believing there is only one open spot left for you as an attorney to sign up.
In any case, in 1.5 years, I have spent thousands of dollars to get hundreds in return. I make more money using traditional referral services that only charge me $100 a year. While, Legalmatch, they charge you $500 a month.
It's at least a 2 year contract, so beware. They should prey on established offices that can afford to toss money their way, rather than praying on offices that have just opened up with hope that they can get clients from this deceptive service.
