South San Francisco, CA (March 9, 2011) — Today marked another huge milestone for the Internet's leading legal matching service, LegalMatch.com. At 2:18 PM PST the 2 millionth case was presented to LegalMatch by a client looking for an attorney. “Every day people come to LegalMatch looking for help with their most pressing legal issues,” said CEO Laurie Ziffrin. “We’re very proud to have helped over 2 million people at what can be a difficult time in their lives.”
The first million case milestone was achieved in 2007, seven years after LegalMatch debuted its unique way of empowering consumers in finding suitable legal counsel. “We started LegalMatch in 1999 to be the best place to find a lawyer,” said Anna Ostrovsky, LegalMatch’s co-founder and General Counsel. “Now, 12 years later, millions of people have used our service to find an attorney - I think we’ve achieved that goal.” Potential clients use a simple, but thorough, six step intake process at LegalMatch.com that mimics an initial attorney interview and enables interested attorneys to respond to cases with detailed offers of services. “We’re particularly pleased that over 98% of the people matched to a lawyer are satisfied,” added Ostrovsky.
