A Lawyer in 15 Minutes

NY Times:

The wheels of justice tend to be slow, but arrests can happen with lightning speed — and what happens next can be crucial. In searches, seizure and interrogation, things can go badly wrong.

Chris Miles helped found LawyerUp, an Easton, Conn., company that promises to get people in trouble a lawyer quickly.
At that moment, a lawyer might help keep things from getting out of hand, asserting Miranda rights against interrogation or starting the bail process. But getting that lawyer is no easy thing, said Chris Miles, who co-founded a company, LawyerUp, to get lawyers on the case within 15 minutes.

“If I want a pizza, I can get a pizza in 15 minutes,” he says. “I can get a plumber in the middle of the night. Why can’t I get a lawyer?”

Another Idea: How to Start a Lawyer Business

    That is definitely worth looking at. It kind of reminds me of Pre-Paid Legal. Not in the MLM sense, but because they offer a monthly payment service for access to legal service.

    Although LawyerUp may get someone a lawyer within 15 minutes, the real question is how much they will have to pay per hour for that lawyer afterwards. I definitely think it is an interesting idea with a lot of potential.
