A bold & brand new way to take the pain out of choosing an attorney

THE WOODLANDS, Texas - One of the most important decisions a person can ever make is choosing an attorney to handle a personal or business matter. Yet the way they go about it may not yield the results they want.

Often, they resort to word-of-mouth referrals from relatives or friends, which can be a time-consuming dead end. "People put together all their documentation and take a day off from work to get to that initial consultation, only to discover the attorney is too busy to handle their case or doesn't even specialize in the area of law they need," said Bill Voss, lead attorney and owner of The Voss Law Firm in The Woodlands, Texas.

More and more, people are also turning to the Internet to find an attorney, but yellow page directories and other online listings can be vague and incomplete. "You can find a good mortgage lender, or real estate agent or even a doctor online," said Voss. "People wonder why there isn't a place on the web where they can access the resources they need to choose the right attorney."

Voss said he created HireMeLegal.com to take the stress and guesswork out of finding qualified, experienced legal counsel. Users can register for free and post their legal issue. Qualified attorneys with the right experience and skills reach out and bid for the chance to take on the case. Users can also search HireMeLegal.com's directory of thousands of top tier attorneys and initiate contact themselves. They can search by legal specialization, geographical location and user rating. The process is secure, and no personal details are displayed when a user posts a case.

HireMeLegal.com puts the client at the center of the case. No more wondering about the status of a case or going through the hassle of taking off work to visit the attorney's office. Clients are in constant contact with their legal counsel through HireMeLegal.com's instant messaging, email and video conferencing capabilities. Using HireMeLegal.com's legal "workroom," clients can track the status of their case, set milestones and securely upload and download documents.
