New law firm created with a different outlook


Los Angeles-based business transactional attorney Jerry Mowery opened a unique law firm with the moniker DriveThruLegal.com. The firm wishes to relieve its clients from the burden of having to foot expensive bills with affordable and fixed rates (without a retainer), often furnished by expensive law firms to the clients.

Mowery discovered that by deleting the "shark" element, often attributed to greedy attorneys from his law firm, his entrepreneur clients will benefit from both legal counseling and document services at affordable and fixed prices. Mowery, defining the "shark" element in attorneys as their egos, says that this is what raises the overhead costs and in turn, the fees. If that can be reduced, the fee also comes down. The firm, which fans the "clients' entrepreneurial spirit," was launched in July 2007 with expansion plans slated for next year.
