The Wal-Mart of Law Firms Might Be Wal-Mart
I don’t know anything about My Community Legal Network. Its website tells us this:
Introduced in 2009, My Community Legal Network scoured through millions of legal and financial professionals looking for the most knowledgeable and sophisticated providers. Then we took the collective bargaining power that comes from millions of Americans and negotiated wholesale prices from these top professionals. We take these discounted rates and offer them directly to our members. There is no markup; only the best professionals at the best prices. My Community Legal Network currently only offers services in the United States but has plans to expand these services to Canada, Mexico, and South America by the end of 2010.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Based on that description, I suppose the picture after the jump will make more horrifying sense.
My friends, there is something wrong when legal services can be purchased at Wal-Mart. Surely, this society is not yet so litigious that we need legal services to be sold alongside cheap clothing and other cut-rate products.
Digging around the My Community website, the business model of this — I don’t even know what to call it — law joint becomes even more disturbing:
My Community Legal Network is more than just discounted legal and financial solutions. MCLN offers an extraordinary business opportunity that can give you the freedom and flexibility that you’ve been looking for. If you’re looking for a fulfilling career that can give you the income potential and free time you’ve been dreaming of, then MCLN may be the opportunity for you! …At My Community Legal Network, you’re in business FOR yourself but not BY yourself.
MCLN provides all the support and training you will ever need to run your business! Plus, you have the freedom and flexibility to build your business how you want it — when you want to. You can change your own life while helping other people change their lives — what could be better than that?
You don’t need a background or degree in law or business. You just need the drive to succeed. MCLN is 100% dedicated to helping your business efforts and offers a support system that is unparalleled in the industry.
Can’t you see Rodge Cohen or Justice Scalia walking past this joint and bursting into tears? I know I’m an elitist New York prick, but come on. For the love of God, just look at the picture. It looks like a freaking Lens Crafters. There’s no dignity in this.
We are going from white shoe to bare feet right before our eyes.

Subtle Jones Day trolling...
Kind of freaking out for no good reason.
Stores like Wal-Mart have already been hosting numerous other "professional" services for some time, including doctors and optometrists. Why law should be any different is, indeed, because of your snobbery.
It has nothing to do with being "litigious." Lots of people don't want to make trips around to numerous places for services or don't want to hunt through phone books for lawyers. Having someone you can just walk up to and hand a check after you've visited the checkout line for your traffic ticket or will seems normal.
I sound like a troll for this company, I know, and I'm sure that very few, if any, elite grads would ever stoop to this. But I think this is a slight overreaction.
Who gives a fuck? I want to her about big fucking law firms and salary freezes and shit.
I too "have a bad feeling about this."
what happens when someone comes in and wants to sue Walmart? Say a Walmart employee....

Elie,
You are not a New York prick. You are just not a very cool person in any way.
Put Roger Cohen (or whatever his name is) in there, he wouldn't know how to advise everyday people with common legal problems. He would be stuck in the parking lot trying to lock the doors to his goofy car. Probably fired within 2-3 days.
We all know there is a lot more _dignity_ in being a fat illiterate blogger who cannot get admitted to the NY bar and who thought that the Good Samaritan statute can be a basis for creating liability.

Ummm . . . wouldn't this be considered the unauthorized practice of law. Not to play the Restatement 90 card, but really, seems like many ethical rules would be broken by a non-attorney working here. Unless of course they don't offer legal services, in which case, who the hell cares.
This sounds like a problem from the MPRE I just took last week.
The question is "Is Attorney subject to sanctions?" and the answer is "Yes, because Attorney is aiding Store in the unauthorized practice of law."
20 - your stupidity is unbelievable. Repping these kind of clients is NOT what Rog's practice is. It's like saying a cardiologist should know how to diagnose fever and what to prescribe for it. Idiot.
"For the love of God, just look at the picture. It looks like a freaking Lens Crafters. There’s no dignity in this."
Not true. First to say that this place will soon be inundated with resumes. Poor 3Ls and reneged deferred grads... I really do feel for you.
I don't whether verbs are important.
Sounds similiar to the Pre Paid Legal pyramid scheme.
It sickens me and I'm a government attorney.
26, I think is right.
Is this just another legal forms service? If so big deal and I'm surprised Wal-Mart didn't think of it sooner.
TO: REPLY ALL
ATL is starting to sound like THE FIRST YEAR ASSOCIATE that got all "altruistic on their a$$" about the Redskins-logo-win by his BigLaw Firm.
The website says they offer legal services. It doesn't say what they pay those lawyers (if they are even lawyers) to offer these cheap or free services.
When you have a contractor build your house for a fixed price, you shouldn't be surprised to learn that he took lots of shortcuts along the way. The biggest shortcut is simply using inferior labor, along with inferior materials. The same applies in other industries and professions. You get what you pay for, and there's nothing worse than an inexperienced attorney who is dumber than a post.
This is a professional-responsibility disaster waiting to happen.

HOW ABOUT HOGAN & HARTSON UPDATE, YOU IDIOT?! YOU ARE THE MOST UNQUALIFIED PERSON TO DO ANYTHING!
Suggesting a physical presence at Wal-Mart seems highly misleading. The website doesn't give any indication of bricks & mortar locations. These folks apparently aspire to make a buck brokering cut rate legal services but they don't have any tie-in to Wal-Mart, and it seems like they have a long way to go. Sloppy ATL "reserach" here.
I'm not so worried about discount legal services, I'm worried about the pyramid scheme that is commonly associated with these kind of membership discount clubs. It basically operates as such: Become an affiliate and berate your friends and family until they pay the exorbitant membership fee to have access to virtually worthless discounts. If you study the MCLN website, you'll find under Business Opportunities that this is the model, and you'll find that a lot of their "discounts" are not actually for legal services but for cosmetic surgery, dental work, etc. I've spent some time investigating and studying membership buying clubs, and they virtually all seem to operate under the same model: get people to pay for valueless products. Let them expand, I'll have fun suing them for violations of state consumer fraud acts.
So much for attorney-client confidentiality when anyone in their flip flops can walk past and hear your meeting. That is, assuming there actually si a lawyer staffing these things, which I would presume must be the case or it would be the unauthorized practice of law without a license dealie. I'm surprised there's not a kiosk with a web link to India, where anyone can give legal advice which is ok'd by the ABA (oh man, have I got an idea....)
From henceforth, I hereby verbs as racist.
I will no longer verbs in my prose. Instead, I will simply verbs as my protest the Man's native tongue.

I don't what I am talking about..
Sorry, but why, exactly, is this the end of the world? Lots of individuals and small businesses have a need for legal services and have no idea where to turn. Many make just enough money not to be considered indigent or to qualify for legal aid, but not enough to actually pay for legal services (even though they need them, including for custody, divorce, visitation, basic schooling issues). Would I want to work here? No. Does that mean that the service is invalid as a form of assistance or legal services? No! (And by the way, non-lawyers work in law firms all over the world. They're called "secretaries," "receptionists," "docket staff" and "paralegals." Get off the Restatement 90 crap already - it just makes you sound stupid.)
Laid-off Lathams, start polishing those resumes.
OMG, one time, Elie was drinking a bottle of coke. And he totally the whole thing. Do you think he'll die?
Hey 25, I am purposely making a value judgment that what "Rog" does is fucking bullshit and helps a few rich elite clients, as opposed to the everyday man. I guess I don't believe that he saved our economy or whatever story you would have me believe. 20.

I wonder if they will accept applications from a T1 2l?
Seriously though...
ATL has been lazy lately....down here in Philly, there's a lot going on with Reed Smith...but from ATL...silcence.
Well hot damn! Looks like the docket call down here in the county oughtta be pretty entertainin'. Gonna be real hard to deal with all of them made in China lawyers. Sure do hope they done learned some English. Otherwise I'm fixin' to get some help from my cousin at the trailer park and chase them right out of Americuh.
Elie, be more careful with your due diligence. All this appears to be is a prepaid legal service, not a law services provider. Prepaid legal services have been around forever.
On a side note, I wonder if the good people at Community Legal Network (http://www.communitylegal.net), operating since 1971, might have an intellectual property problem with the folks at My Community Legal Network (http://mcln.com).
# 35. True that. Let's see how Walmart likes its community legal services when the vicarious liability malpractice claims start rolling in the door...
Elie, I'm not the jerky grammar martinet here, but your passive-aggressive refusal to up the level of editoral quality in the least mesure is not so interesting any more.
I get it that, as a bougie Nassau County Harvard brother, you need to work overtime to keep it real. But please confine your efforts at authenticity to ordering corn bread at the Harvard Club. The rest of us have to decipher your writing and don't care about how little you have to prove. OK good talk.

Elie, are you going to cover the UC Davis law school disaccreditation story?
I agree with 26, this smacks of pyramid scheme. No one will really be offering legal services, but they'll be spending plenty of time signing other people up for the $300 get started toolkit or whatever it is.
25 your stupidity is unbelievable. Once admitted to the Bar it is presumed you are competent to undertake any type of legal service not requiring additional licensing (the model rules do note that a lawyer unfamiliar with a particular issue should seek help from other lawyers).
And even though i know nothing of medical licensing, i'm pretty sure that specialists including cardiologists are licensed to practice general medicine, and should know how to diagnose a simple illness

52, good point
Fucking hilarious.
Now I can eat my pork rinds AND get to sue someone about this inflamed toe nail all in one trip to Wally Mart!
43 - I get your point. But I think there are lots of small, informal law offices for these people to turn to. There are lawyers who are successful in poor, rural, and/or uneducated areas because they have made themselves and their services accessible to those people.
But, this is different. For starters, those individuals have a law office. They work in a professional setting. Lawyers have worked hard for their degrees and their work deserves dignity and respect. An office accomplishes that in a way that a folding table in aisle 13 does not.
I'm sick and tired of family and friends asking me for free legal advice. It says to me that they don't value my work. This type of thing, just like that jerk last week with his "work for free" Craigslist ad tells people that legal services shouldn't be valued.
This is AWESOME. Now newly minted lawyers will learn their true worth.
I wonder if people like this can really understand the concept of you get what you pay for

This is going to make high school more difficult. "Your mom buys legal services at Walmart"
I think Elie is a pretty cool guy. eh copies other journalist's stories and doesn't afraid of anything.
WHY ISNT ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THE LAY OFFS AT WHITE & CASE
If you think that readily available access to legal advice is generally a good thing, then you should be in favor of this service. On the other hand, you rhetorical statement "Surely, this society is not yet so litigious that we need legal services to be sold alongside cheap ..." suggests that maybe society already has too much access to legal services. If so, perhaps stricter limits on filing frivolous claims are in order, or perhaps changes to court procedures should be undertaken to reduce gamesmanship.
More access to legal services could result in more lawsuits against providers of low-cost products and services. For example, if Wal-Mart faces more slip-and-fall lawsuits, or if landlords renting to low-income tenants have more trouble evicting people for non-payment of rent, then those providers might have to raise prices. That in turn may hurt other low-income individuals.
Latham [LaTTTham] is the walmart of law firms.

"There’s no dignity in this."
Since when is the legal profession dignified.
And you moderate comments written by pimply faced night school 2L's living in their mother's basement who comment only between jerk-off sessions .
Really what do you know about dignity.
Sounds the same as Prepaid Legal Services, which some argue is nothing more than a multi-level marketing/pyramid sham. The business is more interested in people buying the right to sell the services than actually selling the services.
Down here in Philly, there is a lot going on with the legal market. ATL is reporting on...well...er...none of it.
I would be curious what their relationship with Walmart is.
If somebody slipped and fell in Walmart or an employee of Walmart had a discrimination complaint, and then went to the "lawyer" working in Walmart, what would happen? I would wonder what the "lawyer's" arrangment with Walmart is and whethere there would be a conflict of interest somehow.
I am totally one of those raging liberals who thinks Walmart is evil, so I admit I'm just wired to question everything they do. But, I can't help but thingk something nefarious is going on here. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I wonder if they have found some loophole in ethics laws or something and are working that to protect themselves from lawsuits some how.
An elitist NY prick? Maybe in an intellectual sense, but somebody much more skinny, better looking, and probably from a school like Brooklyn or New York Law would relegate you back to the "No Fucking Section" of Manhattan. Carry on my little friend.
38 - agreed, the photograph of this outfit inside a Wal-Mart is entirely circumstantial. They were probably there and Wal-Mart built a store around them when they weren't paying attention.

I love Affirmative Walrus. 41 was pure gold.
73 = projecting
24, not necessarily so.
I'm somewhat familiar with the contracts that wal-mart draws up when they have physicians that practice inside a wal-mart brick and mortar store.
It's more or less just a landlord tenant relationship. They go to great lengths to make the representations that wal-mart and the physician are separate entities. If you pay close attention you'll even notice that in most WM stores where there's a physician or optometrist they even have their own separate "patient entrance."
While the propriety of a lawyer opening up shop in wal-mart is questionable, there's not really that many more inherent legal problems with that than with a law firm renting space from an office building. The biggest ethical pitfall is the sort of client relationships one might develop when your storefront is open to that sort of client. Such a practitioner would have to be very careful about documenting when an attorney/client relationship existed and when it didn't.
affordable community legal service is a good thing

I thought I went to law school to avoid working at Wal Mart. Back to square one.
are they hiring?
I think it's a good idea. You get the institutional backing of Wal Mart, so your overhead will be low. You could more or less ask for a dependable paycheck as long as you could bill a modest 40-50 hours a week. As long as they aren't paying you more than that, they make a little money off of it (but probably not as much as they do off of a cashier).
Who cares if it's Wal Mart? We'll be working at Wal Mart either way. We may as well perform the services we're qualified to, help some faces from www.peopleofwalmart.com, and not have to worry about overpriced downtown office space.
I'll work there!
Those of you trashing PPL ought to call one of the provider law firms and ask them how it's working out for them. Might also want to talk to the 3-4 former state AGs that endorse the membership, along with the Chamber of Commerce and Black Chamber of Commerce.
BTW, there is a former judge in Texas who gave up his seat on the bench to sell PPL because he saw the value it had for virtually everyone.
A deferred associate would do well to check out the commissions to be made selling the business plans while waiting to start at thir big law jobs. There is also that rsidual income thing.
CHECK YOU SHOPPING CART
Commenter 94,
"3-4 former state AGs" = unemployed politicians
"Chamber of Commerce" = endorses any business
"Black Chamber of Commerce" = (Other commenters please take this one) but endorses anything that guarantees anyone (blacks) employment, even if the business operates at the expense of blacks (as this pyramid scheme does)
"a former judge in Texas" who "saw the falue it had for virtually everyone" = funny and an absurd statement. If I did everything former judges in Texas did...
These endorsements are meaningless, so forgive me if I do not leap at the opportunity to sell "the business plans." When I decided to go to law school it was for guaranteed employment with a law firm not a pyramid scheme.

"My friends, there is something wrong when legal services can be purchased at Wal-Mart."
How does a law office in a Wal-Mart building mean "something is wrong"? The other day I went into a similar big store and bought food, some pajamas for the little one, home office supplies, got a present for a kiddie party, grabbed salad and a coffee at the cafe, got my kid's bangs cut, picked up a new lip gloss that makes my lips pouty and then visited my optician. A day of chores took 1 hour. And I'm supposed to feel like a schmuck for this why?
"Surely, this society is not yet so litigious that we need legal services to be sold alongside cheap clothing and other cut-rate products."
Surely this blog isn't so douchey as to suggest that legal services are only about litigation. Like that office couldn't have been doing wills or real estate closings? (As for "cut-rate products", the Hanes sweats were the same ones I get elsewhere, and kiddie pajamas were fine and the box games I got for a kiddie party were the same you get elsewhere.)
What the hell is wrong with you, man?
One of the main characters in "Idiocracy" got his law degree at Costco. That movie was supposed to be a warning, not an instructional video. That little shred of faith I had in Western civilization ... it's gone now.

What sort of skills are important in order to kick butt in court? Is it a question of talent or are there attributes that can be developed? How to develop them and why do you think Harvard grads are lacking?
What would be wrong if they provided reasonably prices services of decent quality to people who otherwise could not afford those services?

The (CEO/apex) of (MCLN/said pyramid) sits on the board for the Chamber of Commerce.
Customers who are in the market for these types of legal services should just use Legal Zoom.

First WalMart came for the hardware stores; I do not own or work at a hardware store, so I said nothing. Then WalMart came for the auto parts store; I do not own or work for a auto parts store, so I said nothing. Then WalMart came for the convenience store; I do not own or work for a convenience store, so I said nothing. Then WalMart came for the clothing store; I do not own or work for a clothing store, so I said nothing. Then WalMart came for the law firms; there was no one left to say anything.

You are an unemployed law school graduate. Anyone who has been deferred is hardly secure.
BTW, check out PPL's performance on the NYSE. A 35+ year-old company with solid growth, good profits and ZERO debt is doing something right.
Looks to me like REED Smith will be closing the doors just as soon as the equity partners get their bribes from its non-equity partners. Looks like a great market strategy to me.

What an elitist and superficial post. Appearance is not everything, Elie.
Such services certainly lower transaction costs and barriers to entry for less-educated entrepreneurs that have, due to their upbringing, a specialization that is less white-collar than the people who pay the bigger bucks. Many of these people have valuable things to offer society, and this brings about a greater, more versatile marketplace.

ATL cannot be more wrong with this article for a couple of reasons. First, my friend and her sister own a Lenscrafters and make sick money (like I wish I was an Optometrist money) without having to be some db partner's bitch. Second, I would bet everything I own that the people who started this Wal-Mart law firm will retire flithy rich. Think about it, this is like LegalZoom (Shaprio sleeps on a pile of money from this every night) but in Wal-Mart where EVERYONE shops. And since its associated with Wal-Mart, every loyal customer will trust it 1000000% more than X Firm in the Yellow Pages. Sorry ATL this is the future of legal services and a direct result of the ABA's accreditation of any law school.
118,
It's a simple business. I never said it was an easy one. If it was easy, anyone could do it. You know, sort of like going to law school. Becoming an attorney is easy. Becoming a partner by being a rainmaker is the hard part; and it has very little to do with legal knowledge.
113
This article is misleading. I assume the Wal-Mart photo was altered. The MCLN website has no indication of any Wal-Mart link. Get your facts straight if you want to retain any credibility. But, why shouldn't Wal-Mart get into the legal services business? A lot of the less complex work "street lawyers" do could be done very efficiently by a Wal-Mart lawyer. I am thinking of things like Chapter 7, uncontested divorces, small claims cases, business organization, etc.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THIS WALMART IS ?? IM DYING TO GO VISIT.. LOL..
"Surely, this society is not yet so litigious that we need legal services to be sold alongside cheap clothing and other cut-rate products."
To echo 106, Elie, there is a lot more to legal services than litigation. However, even if there weren't, yes, this society is that litigious and has been so for at least 20 to 30 years. Crack a book! I mean, off the top of my head I can recall a title written about 15 years ago called "The Litigious Society."
*grunching*
Not everyone can afford a few hundred dollars an hour. Getting inexpensive legal services to those who need it is a good thing.
Also, not every lawyer has a job. Having a huge player like Wal-Mart in the hiring market is a good thing.
Sorry if your precious sensibilities are hurt by Wal-Mart being in the legal market ("oh, but there's no *dignity* in it!), but a lot of people can be helped by it.
I agree! Now how do we find this walmart being that it is not on the website ? Is this a real location. Why is it that we are only told California. I mean you posted it so any tips outside of Cali. City? Zip? something? anything? Thanks!!
No, No, No. You all have it wrong! This My Community Legal Network is not the same company as MCLN. This My Community Legal Network is a different business altogether. It is a Legal Document Preparation Service business. LDA. It helps the community out there with filling out forms only. It does not have anything to do with a pyramid scheme and they designed their business NOT to be like any of the Pre-Paid Legal business that has been around. They are in WalMart because they want to provide a way to help people out there with their documents at an affordable price. Unlike Legal Zoom, they do similar work but it is just done in person. So yes, it makes sense that this company would be in Walmart. Nothing wrong with helping people save money in all aspects of life. This company also offers referrals through a State Bar Certified Attorney Referral Service so the public also can get legal advice since My Community Legal Network is not involved in the practice of law or giving out any legal advice at all. So in a sense, they are not trying to take away too much business from attorneys. Attorneys may be able to grow their practice through the Attorney Refferal Service. Bottom line is : These are two different companies doing different services. You are comparing apples with apples. Oh....and Walmart does take into consideration as to who they select to lease out to many different businesses. So if you do not know what is in their lease, you should not make any comments.
