In our litigious society, a law suit is always in the works. It’s not easy though for the average American to find suitable, and by that I mean affordable legal aid.
HelpMeSue, however, wants to level the playing field. How it works: anyone in need of legal help can post their case anonymously on the site; the community at large, your concerned citizens and obliging lawyers will then offer their counsel. You decide what works best. Anyone can offer their two cents in the comments section of each post. Additionally, items can be voted upon for points. You can see how many views a post has received along with the number of comments made. The range of material on the site so far ranges from cases of neglect and abuse to slander, second hand smoke and malicious websites.In our litigious society, a law suit is always in the works.

HelpMeSue.com In Their Own Words
“HelpMeSue.com simplifies the chore of finding legal representation. When the rich and powerful want to pursue legal action, they have retained lawyers who do their bidding. The average American, however, can only seek justice after days, if not weeks, of costly searching for the right legal help. Most simply “forget about it” and try to move on with their lives. HelpMeSue.com levels the legal playing field. We empower the average American to seek Justice.
Simply post the details of your case on our site and sit back as lawyers and concerned citizens review and respond to your case. You remain completely anonymous. You decide who you do business with. Our service is completely free.”
Why HelpMeSue.com It Might Be A Killer
This is an interesting site. It has that MeFi, hive mind feel to it, as users can post their legal problems and gain insight from the brilliance of the crowd. This could work, provided it spruce up a few things and add more features.
Some Questions About HelpMeSue.com
HelpMeSue hasn’t yet got enough interested members to make it function. Most of the comments aren’t helpful—they’re more frivolous than anything. Also, there’s no way for any courteous lawyers to privately message or get in contact with those seeking aid. How will they induce lawyers to the site in the first place?? It would be nice to see more tools and perhaps advice and Q&A sections.
