Lawdingo connects people with attorneys for legal consultations over the internet. People can find, book, and meet a lawyer without any of the real-world hassles like talking to a secretary, driving to a law office or paying a retainer. Lawyers gain access to a much larger legal market than their local community and are afforded the flexibility to talk to new clients on their own schedule.
