It we really shouldn't matter how many losses we have and yet -- whether that number goes up or down because of this web site or any other web but what really matters -- Whether the right lawsuits -- those have a lot food. That are that have merit and the lot is that need to be decided by someone because the parties couldn't resolve. They're differences themselves so. It's it's it's really important that people have are empowered and have access to lawyers to represent them and they have access to the system itself."

Goes on and on the -- the best a lot of us do is either Google people in our area we open up the yellow pages and from there. It's really hard I'll be honest with -- I went with my -- impression. Some as -- so we have to go -- I -- I don't really care necessarily what school they went to. You know where they got their degrees in and things like that. I I just have to click with a lawyer how this website help people look click with the proper attorney for -- the one that's the most appropriate for for them. Not just for their case but also for their personality."

Essentially become qualified for -- I believe that they're qualified for. And they can review their their profile and find out things that may mean America -- in the America somewhat like where they went along law school. How long they've been practicing how many attorneys -- exactly what they're specialty or what their. What they're -- focus of their practices.

Whatever remedy you would have would be so small that really should be in small claims court or maybe -- just forget about it because. There's there's not going to be a lawyer you're going to find who is going to file Laats is 400 dollars. You know you have a complete legal right to recover that hundred dollars. This isn't the way to do it. So you'll be that I am with that person you can click and start in the instance phone call someone from the firm or you can have the firm.
