#12How do you find a lawyer? Go to your nearest Starbucks and ask for any of the baristas. In this economy, that's not even a joke... ( http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/law_school_by_the_num... ).
Which makes this particular idea even better.

Note that a lawyer referral service is defined as: "'Lawyer Referral Service' means an individual, partnership, corporation, association, or any other entity, or a service or agency of an entity, which operates for the direct or indirect purpose of referring potential clients to lawyers, whether or not the term 'referral service' is used."
I imagine other states have similar licensing requirements.

If the barista at Starbucks tried to give you legal advice they would likely be breaking the law themselves.

My understanding is that the company does not need to register as a referral service, in the same way that Yelp or the Yellow Pages are also not referral services. We're making a point not to recommend any particular lawyers so as not to qualify as the type of service we would need to register for.
