Looking at the Yellow Pages from A Client’s Perspective

Evan Schaeffer of Legal Underground examines, from a prospective client’s perspective,  what it must be like to hire a lawyer from the Yellow Pages in his most recent podcast installment of  Law Related Things That Suck. After listening to Evan, you’ll realize, if you don’t already, that the yellow pages may not be the best device for hiring an attorney.   But sadly, there really aren’t any viable alternatives where consumers can get 85 pages worth of attorneys’ names (that’s how many are in the St. Louis directory, according to Evan), despite bar referral programs as well as all of the hype about online directories.
