Internet Lawyer Types

"I need an Internet lawyer", you think. But do your really? An Internet lawyer specializes in the law of the web. And good ones are not cheap. Many come from the arena of intellectual property, and getting a good IP trial lawyer is very expensive. Some of the bigger law firms, particularly in the big cities, charge $800 and up per hour. Do you really need an Internet lawyer?

If you are dealing with an unpaid invoice, a debt collection lawyer could help you on a contingency basis.

If you are dealing with an employment dispute, an employment lawyer could be the right choice.

And if you want to start a business and get incorporated, find a local business lawyer to handle the standard work of incorporation. Or if you are savvy and want to incorporate in Nevada or Wyoming, find a corporate lawyer in those states.

Trust me on this, though. Don't go and hire an Internet lawyer. Internet lawyers are expensive because they deal with a subject of law that is very challenging and demanding. Consider finding the right subject matter lawyer. All because you have an Internet business, it does not follow that every issue will demand the attention of an internet law expert.

You really need an expert in the specific subject matter with which you are dealing.
