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.
Well your article helped me very much in my college assignment. Hats incorrect to you send, wish look forward in behalf of more cognate articles in a jiffy as its anecdote of my pet question to read.
