My name is Kreig Mitchell. I am a solo practitioner in Colorado and my practice is limited to tax matters (you can find out more about me at my law firm website here).
I created LawRex because: (1) I was tired of the predatory and unethical practices of the existing online lawyer referral websites and (2) I was fed up with third party advertising and marketing companies getting rich by overcharging lawyers for basic advertising services.
While I was thinking about these two points, I started to think about the quality legal cases that I come across and reject nearly every day because they are out of my practice area (i.e., they are not tax law cases) and because I cannot find someone to refer the cases to (either becuase I do not know any attorneys in the particular jurisdictions, who practice in the particular areas, or who have the time or are interested in the cases). This got me thinking that other lawyers probably come across the type of cases that I am looking for (i.e., tax cases) and that these other lawyers decline the cases for the very same reasons.
Putting these thoughts together, I decided to create a safe and secure online forum for lawyers to exchange legal referrals with other lawyers -- which is what LawRex does, which is a service that did not exist prior to LawRex.
LawRex has the added benefit of being able to deliver higher quality legal referrals than the lesser online and traditional legal referral services. This is primarily due to LawRex referrals being pre-screened by other lawyers prior to being listed on the LawRex network. Also, LawRex referrals are live referrals -- meaning that the referrals are clients who have reached the stage where they are ready to hire a lawyer. This is much better than the lesser legal matching lawyer referral websites and services that send unscreend clients, most of whom have not yet even decided whether they want to hire a lawyer and most of whom are just looking for free legal advice.
I do beleive that LawRex can be of great benefit to the legal community and I am glad to be able to make this type of resource available to all of us. I encourage you to take a second and sign up for a free LawRex account, integrate this free tool into your practice, and, if you find the service useful, tell other lawyers about the free service.
