Based on what I have been told by those within LegalZoom it is my opinion that they have crossed the line between legitimate self-help and the practice of law. All over the website are disclaimers that LegalZoom is not a law firm and they only provide directed self-help. ![]() The worst part of LegalZoom’s activities is not that they are practicing law without a license, but rather what they are telling their customers is flat wrong.įor many years has been assisting individuals and businesses with respect to filing trademark applications. It is perhaps even more unbelievable that the various State Attorneys General appear unwilling to stop what I believe to be widespread unauthorized practice of law, despite the fact that LegalZoom is likely creating irreparable harm to its customers by engaging in fraudulent activities prohibited by the regulations that govern the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It is unbelievable to me that the United States Patent and Trademark Office allows to continue in what can only be described, at least in my opinion, as the unauthorized practice of law.
