LexMeet App Offers Easy Access to Lawyers, Affordable Legal Consultations Right at Your Fingertips
Seeking legal advice on lawyers is now made more
convenient and affordable as LexMeet (www.lexmeet.com), a real-time on-demand online legal consultation web space where
lawyers and clients meet to solve legal problems is now launching its mobile
application.
WHY USE LEXMEET
LexMeet solves difficulties on clients getting proper
guidance on their problems that need legal remedies. Aside from fake attorneys
lurking in the web as well as the nuances of Philippine law, there are also the
rampant misinterpretations of common legal issues that just add unnecessary
confusion to a prospective client seeking legal advice.
In addition, the lack of access—physical or online—to
a lawyer also compounds the issue, especially for Filipinos working overseas.
All these concerns are what LexMeet wants to address - lawyer and legal service
accessibility to the masses - by
making online legal consultations readily available for Filipinos everywhere
without breaking the bank.
HOW TO USE LEXMEET
Using the LexMeet app couldn’t be any simpler. After
the client registered their personal details for free, they can purchase
credits—for as low as P500- via Paypal, Dragonpay, Coins.Ph and later on Google
Pay payment gateways. Clients can initiate a legal consultation request where
LexMeet will match their legal problem with lawyer specialists that meets their
requirements. Example, when a client submits his/her legal problem about the
title of his/her condominium unit, LexMeet gives him/her a lawyers list with specialization
in Condominium Law. Clients have to submit in advance their legal inquiries and
provide their stories, objectives and questions as well as supporting documents
through LexMeet sign-up forms. All consultations are conducted over video or
voice call— possibly imposing for non-tech-savvy folk, but nevertheless more
effective than a lifeless chat window. Their credits are automatically paid to
their matched lawyer after the meeting ends. Ratings and feedback mechanism
help ensure that LexMeet’s crowd sourced network of 250 lawyers provide quality
consults, which seems to be the case as it boasts over 7,500 clients and
counting.
LexMeet, wordplay on
the Latin word for “law” and workplace verbatim for setting office meetings is
founded by Atty. Marlon Valderama, Managing Partner of Valderama Law Office and
the country's pioneer when it comes to e-lawyering. He introduced the
e-lawyering concept as early as 2010 in his law office website, E-Lawyers
Online.
“LexMeet serves as the
Uber of lawyers, where client can seek lawyer’s advice by a mere click. Instead
of an Uber vehicle matching with the nearest rider, LexMeet is where client’s
legal problem is matched with the lawyer’s expertise, location and language and
we serve as a bridge for them to meet via video or call conference,” Atty.
Valderama said.
Since its inception in
2017, Lexmeet serves as the online go-to-place by OFWs and SMEs.
“As we all know, Philippines
have more than 10.23 million migrant workers scattered all over the world. With
Filipino Diaspora, there is a demand for legal services for the legal issues
left behind by our migrant workers such as marriage, support and custody
issues, inheritance, investments, among others. Also, we have so many SMEs,
almost 1M now, who need legal guidance from lawyers. The lack of online
facility to help our OFWs and SMEs in solving their legal problems is our prime
motivation on establishing a primary hub of e-lawyering,” Atty. Valderama
explained.
LexMeet has been recently awarded as the Best Life
Helper in 2018 ASEAN Rice Bowl Start-up Awards as it was recognize in its
promising goal in making legal consultations inclusive for all Filipinos.
Starting November
2018, the LexMeet App can now be downloaded in Google Play (http://bit.ly/LexMeetbeta) and its IOS version will be soon available for download in App
Store.
