Alan Kopit discusses increased use of the internet when searching for lawyer and legal advice.

Alan Kopit talked about how there has been an increase in people using the internet to search for lawyers, from 10% in 2000 to 27% in 2006. He explains that “do-it-yourself” legal options are probably not the route to go in complicated legal matters, but could be in simpler cases. He recommends that an individual should have a lawyer present for any seven figure transaction. Alan also talks about using online sources, like lawyers.com to find attorneys in your area.
