  • My name is Shelia Huggins, and I'm a North Carolina licensed attorney and vlogging lawyer. People sometimes ask me whether they should use online legal products like Rocket Lawyer, Legal Zoom, Law Depot, and others. Well, in this video I share my thoughts regarding online legal products.
    Also, if you are interested in saving and investing, you may want to take a look at Robinhood.

    Good video. Online document processing websites are helpful to file forms quickly. However, it's what you don't know that could end up harming you in the long run.

      You are totally right about that. We should be investing in understanding how tax laws impact our finances, even if we don't do our own taxes.

    Very good advice
    .
    I will add in my experience that online services, in general, lack flexibility.
    Whenever your case is or could be different than the great majority; try to keep it at the personal level.
    Even doing things yourself might save you time and money and even your ability to stay in business when you have to deal with unique scenarios.
    Never assume that everyone knows better than you because they run a business. Neither that you know better because you know something.

    This was useful to know and kind of what I do. I want an attorney to look over a legal form required starting in 2024 and a local attorney's office didn't return my call, so I'm figuring this is something safe for Legal Zoom to do. Not always, but this time. Thank you for your advice!

    I’m going through a tenant/landlord dispute but my apartments are tax credit which means they can’t just evict or terminate without good cause. I signed that form when I signed my lease…the legal shield lawyer did not even know this, she even told me “lease termination and eviction are two different things” 😂😂😂.
    I’m calling Tommorow to get my money back

    • @SheliaAHuggins
      @SheliaAHuggins  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm sorry to hear that. Thankfully, you knew what you were talking about. It also helps if attorneys only answer questions about topics that they know. I've been in a few situations where I was definitely outside of my lane and had to backtrack real fast.

    I CAN think of attorneys that I have paid multiple thousands for and walked away thinking "What did I pay for?". On the other hand, helping a friend navigate the published laws and doing our own research online helped "win" a divorce action. We smoked the multi millionaire spouse's two aggressive and threatening law firms, and got them to tap the mat. We only spent time and certified delivery fees. The satisfaction of seeing them get fired in frustration twice only to have to bend to our defense to avoid the inevitable decision we confidently knew would fall in our favour should we go before a judge was so satisfying, including using opposition attorney's own website against them to force production in discovery. So sometimes, NO you are not a fool being your own lawyer. It's not always the black box many people think it is. There is almost no case or dispute under the sun that has not been submitted to a court that you can't utilize to examine and scaffold you're own defense or complaint. Just keep the emotion out of your decisions, keep rational and dispassionate and learn to read accurately. Of course depending on your particulars and situation your mileage may vary.

    What do you think about legal zoom for forming a LLC for a car rental business? Out of California

    • @SheliaAHuggins
      @SheliaAHuggins  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It sorta depends on your overall goals. If you plan on expanding, bringing in investors or partners, etc. If it's just going to be you, you're probably ok with an LLC. This is just general info, and as a disclaimer I have to say that you should check with an attorney in California, and that this response doesn't constitute an attorney-client relationship. Ethics requirements limit what I can say in my response. But definitely consider reaching out to an attorney in California.

    Sheila please help me, I filed an LLC through legal zoom without the attorney option but only ended up paying fees. My LLC is 10 days old and I just paid to dissolve it because I got a lot of paperwork for labor laws and I never even used my LLC or had any employees. I don’t want to mess up with the law please assist me or any advice, will I go to jail.

    Great Video. How do you find a lawyer when the particular case involves multiple issues? For example: Covid mandate. Employer is under 100 But using their personal beliefs to deny testing as an option for its employees. Also, religious EEOC exemption is a consideration and unemployment benefits is consideration. Also, OSHA violation consideration by giving potentially misleading information to its employees.
