Legal Match LegalMatch.com Offered referral of clients for a fee. Clients were looking for attorney to work pro-bono. LosAngeles California

They contacted me during the Recession to provide referral of clients looking for attorneys.  The list they sent contained about 60 potential clients.  Only one was a potentially paying client who had been in the list for 90 days, which meant he was someone who either was not really looking for a lawyer or didn't find anyone he liked.  In other words, a difficult client.  The others were all people who were looking for an attorney to represent them pro-bono.   

I searched in the Internet and found out that many lawyers who paid for their services had not received any leads that resulted in employement.  The fee they had been charged was $500 per month.  When the lawyers asked for a refund, since the service had failed to provide what it had promised, they were refused the refund.

In recent months I have been receiving unsolicited emails from various people with a Legal Match,com address.  By the name of the agent sending the email, it appears that they are trying to match them to my gender and ethnicity, a very transperent marketing ploy.  I have told them repeatedly to stop contacting me, because I am not going to do business with them, but they continue to send me emails, nonetheless.  This last time I warned them that if I got another unsolicited email, I would contact the authorities and file a complaint for harassment.

I decided to write this review to warn other lawyers that this service is not what they claim.  Even if they come up with a valid referral, chances are it will only a few to justify their fee.
