The lawyer directory website Avvo has begun testing a service that offers fixed-fee, limited-scope legal services through a network of attorneys, and plans to roll out the service more broadly over the next few months.
Called Avvo Legal Services, the service offers a variety of limited-scope legal services at a fixed fee. Services range from review of legal documents such as business contracts and nondisclosure agreements to more involved matters such as uncontested divorces and citizenship applications.
Avvo is testing the service in five cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Phoenix. It will begin rolling it out to additional markets in February, said Laura Moriarty, Avvo’s vice president of communications. Moriarty declined to identify the markets where it will initially be offered except to confirm that one will be Massachusetts.
