It worked as well as any other eighteen dollar a month lawyer back when I tried it in 2017/2018.

It was actually free back then I used it the one time and felt grateful enough for the help that I signed up for one cycle and then cancelled (since I didn't have a continued need for it).

Nothing gross or deceptive.



>Nothing gross or deceptive.

They just had to pay a fine for deceptive advertising. The article lists a number of other deceptive and immoral business practices.


I actually used the service in question during that time frame and did not feel deceived by their advertising. In fact, I felt good enough about the experience that I threw them a few bucks after the fact to compensate them for some of the value that they gave me.

You read an article about it and 7 years later and are convinced they are crooks.


> You read an article about it and 7 years later and are convinced they are crooks.

Actually, you read an article and assumed that your anecdotal experience from 7 years ago is more reflective of how a business operates than a current year investigation into that company by a federal agency.

Nobody is arguing that they deceived you personally 7 years ago.


haha touche. That's a fair thing to say


I hold the FTC in higher regard than I do your personal experience when it comes to this matter.


You seem to continue to be deceived as you continue to describe the service as if it is a lawyer


This. Try being broke and able to get some advice and consultation with trepidation. I think its fine as long as more clearly labeled not legal advice or counsel but experiment tool.


> It worked as well as any other eighteen dollar a month lawyer

It wasn't an eighteen dollar a month lawyer, so your description of it as "any other" is wrong.
