Legal Help Not Expensive?

Written by: Dan White

(Article posted in: Tax Tips )

You never know when you’ll need a lawyer for tax issues or otherwise.  But getting access to the right lawyer and for the right price is a common problem we all face.   Long gone are the days when we should rely on our parents’ real estate lawyer to fight the CRA.  We need quick and convenient access to lawyers and information on their legal services.

I am announcing to the world that there is an exciting new solution to this age old problem: www.DynamicLawyers.com.  The idea is simple: Need a lawyer?  Make a Post.  Get Free Quotes!  The website just launched in Toronto and will be written about in the Toronto Star.  This website is a free and invaluable tool when it comes to finding the right lawyer.  All you have to do is make a free, anonymous, and easy-to-make post of your legal issue(s) and then wait for local lawyers to respond to you by e-mail.  You can request their expertise and quotes for how much their services will cost and give them a timeline as well.

If you’re like many of us, and avoid picking up the phone to call your lawyer, those days are gone.  The role of the lawyer is growing, with more and more areas of specialization.  Today’s world is an ever more litigious society with multiple levels of regulation, heavy taxation and new technologies.  Your chances of needing a lawyer, tax litigation or otherwise, have dramatically increased.

www.DynamicLawyers.com gives everyone access to a vast group of legal expertise instantly.  You simply post your issue, and the lawyer members will bid on your case.

The fully searchable website will become a large database where you can get self-help information in the form of Legal-Ease Guides (e.g. how to incorporate your business, how to get an uncontested divorce, how to fight a traffic ticket, how to draft a will, how to file a small claims court action, etc.).

The site is free, anonymous and will set you in the right direction to making informed decisions.

To illustrate how it works, let’s take a common life scenario.  You come home from a long day at work to find a nasty brown government envelope in your mail.  It’s Canada Revenue Agency and you’re being audited on your income taxes.  Instead of breaking out in a sweat, you can go on www.DynamicLawyers.com and make an anonymous post about your situation.  The network of lawyers is there to reply.  Lawyers may give you an overview of your rights, the risks and potential pitfalls, explain the costs involved, and their experiences with respect to resolving your issue(s), etc.  You can compare the responses you receive.  You’re under no obligation to select a lawyer.  You can then make an informed decision about your course of action.  You may even determine it is best is to seek some representation in your situation from one of the lawyers who have responded.

So go to www.DynamicLawyers.com right now and bookmark this page.  Make legal peace of mind only a click away.  Getting a letter from the tax man (or any other legal issues that pop up) can now go down the stress scale rating.

The beauty of www.DynamicLawyers.com is that you are empowered.  You no longer have to sit back and accept what life throws your way – get informed and put the odds in your favour.  Need a Lawyer?  Make a Post.  Get Free Quotes!
