Not all lawyers serve the suave and erudite clients of the day. In fact, with a growing population of slackers, particularly slackers who are now having legal problems, significant opportunities exist to serve an oft-underserved segment of the legal market. That’s why today we are excited to launch the Big Legal Brain “Slacker Legal Form Series.” With forms developed specifically for the slacker market in mind, we’re producing hand-crafted and personalized documents that will resonate with the age 25-34 and underemployed set.
Our first form is a straightforward fixed fee retainer agreement that covers the basics of any flat fee arrangement, but in a manner most slackers will find refreshingly honest. We reproduce the form below (click to expand) or, if you want to edit it in the comfort of your favorite coffee shop, you can download it from the link here.
I notice that staples figure in these documents. Hmmm.
Well, Nancy, someone has to pay for these things. All of my money (I’m the Lawyer) comes from you (if you’re the Client), so, in the end, you pay for everything anyway. It just comes down to accountability. And wouldn’t you rather know what you’re paying for?
As they say in the industry, fo’ sure.
