Just a really quick one for any of you who have run into legal troubles recently and want to take the Web 2.0 route out of it. The Wall Street Journal has compiled a pretty decent list of sites that will help you track down your next legal council. While I would never suggest taking the advice of a website over your own considered research, it is a really good first step.

Law

From the Wall Street Journal –

Just last month, avvo.com launched a service ranking thousands of attorneys by a score of 1 to 10. It covers only a handful of big states so far, but plans to expand. Days after its launch, it was sued in federal court in Seattle by a lawyer who claims the information is inaccurate and misleading. Avvo co-founder Paul Bloom says the suit is “an attempt to bomb” consumers “back to the stone ages.”
