Shpoonkle Lets Lawyers Bid for Your Business

You need an attorney, but are spooked by the notion that you may have to pay hundreds of dollars an hour for something relatively simple, such as a will. That's the dilemma that has led to Shpoonkle, a site where lawyers bid for your business.

WalletPop talked to the owner of Shpoonkle, Robert Grant Niznik and he explained how the site works.

A client would log onto the site, sign up for free activation (there is no charge for the client to use the service), then write up his legal needs. This is then posted for the member attorneys to view (no client can see any other client's postings). The client will receive competitive bids from lawyers on the site.
