Rocket Lawyer

Mark Edwards, CPO Rocket Lawyer is an online legal technology company founded by Charley Moore in 2008,[6] based in San Francisco, California.

[8] The company also provides a network of attorneys that consumers and small businesses can consult with on legal issues through its On Call service.

[6] The pro plan gave customers access to consultations, document review, and legal representation from local attorneys.

[19] In 2010, Rocket Lawyer received $7 million in equity financing from Investor Growth Capital in order to expand operations.

[11] In September 2018, Rocket Lawyer started integrating blockchain technology into its legal transactions in order to provide “smart contracts” for its clients.

Under the new service, called Rocket Wallet, contracts are secured and executed automatically with blockchain encryption technology.

[29] In September, they became the first national company to be approved by the Utah Supreme Court to participate in the state's "regulatory sandbox", a seven-year pilot program for non-lawyer ownership of legal services.

[32] Rocket Lawyer's online database of legal forms was the original premise of the company, and has since expanded to include various other services.

[7][12][22] For example, if a user needs assistance in creating or editing a legal document, he or she can be connected directly to a local attorney who can provide guidance.

[38] A personal finance article in USA Today stated the common perception that both LegalZoom and Rocket Lawyer allow consumers to save money on legal fees but also require some self-education and legal legwork; in other words, both allow consumers to "save a few bucks by doing some of the work yourself."[39][promotion?]
