I think Bram’s comments and the comments below are solid. This is why I wrote the post "Top ten reasons entrepreneurs hate lawyers" (<a href="http://bit.ly/53SB5a" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/53SB5a</a>): to promote this kind of discussion and to educate entrepreneurs. Let’s face it, the legal profession is broken. On the one hand, entrepreneurs and their companies are getting killed on fees; and, on the other hand, lawyers are being laid-off in waves and lots of law school grads can’t find jobs.  On top of that, most lawyers don’t like that they are doing and service generally sucks.  It’s time for a new kind of law firm.
