I ran across a great post today at
Pittsburgh Legal Back Talk entitled "Why Walmart Doesn't Practice Law." Attorney Cliff Tuttle dives into the murky depths of non-lawyers providing legal services. I am sure many have run into this problem. In my own practice, I often have clients come in with pre-made wills asking me if everything looks OK. Other states have non lawyers doing real estate closings. Notaries prepare immigration paperwork. The end result is usually a tangled mess. With matters like immigration, it's usually a one shot deal. Screw up the paperwork and the client is on a plane back to Katmandu. Some states have even begun efforts to stop the Legal Zooms of the world for the unauthorized practice of law. I encourage you to head over to PLBT to check it out.
