Attorneys: Avoid the Pay Per Lead Service. It is Trash
The leads are trash. The leads are from people who can’t afford even the most modest of fees (at least half already had court appointed counsel and were declared indigent), fake/spam sources, were people seeking free legal advice who would lie on their submissions, or from consumers who don’t understand what practice area they need and select the wrong option (example: a crime victim mistakenly asking for criminal defense lawyer to sue the perpetrator). Nolo will deny your request for a credit about half of the time even if it blatantly falls into one of the categories eligible for credit under their policy. The leads are basically people who Googled a generic lawyer phrase, found Nolo or one of its affiliate websites, was asked for their email, phone number, and what type of lawyer they were looking for, and it is then forwarded to a subscribing attorney without any other vetting or clarification. At $50-$60 per lead, it is not worth it in the slightest. There are better ways to invest your money.
