Why You Should Never Take Online Legal Advice

  • When faced with challenges, its usual for us
    to run to Mr.Google and type in our issue to find
    solutions to the problem. It comes with
    advantages such as convenience of having answers
    at the tap of your fingers and its
    affordability. Besides, youre able to hide the
    shame of having to expose your problems to
    someone you may or may not know physically.
    Sounds good, right? But, do you know the
    repercussions of taking online legal advice? It
    may be more damaging than you think. Lets take a
    look.

Lack Of Confidentiality
  • When sharing your issue online, theres always a
    risk of data breaches that may be due to
    compromise of software systems. You should be
    careful about sites that have no data regulation
    mechanisms in place thus exposing the information
    you provide to third-parties. Most legal cases
    are sensitive and their leakage can be quiet
    disastrous. This mainly reflects on personal
    information you give such as names and any
    information that identifies you.

4
Breach Of Contract
  • Online legal advice faces the risk contract
    breaches due to failure to apply reasonable skill
    while providing the service. In some extreme
    cases, it might be customer service attendant
    answering your questions and not an experienced
    lawyer thus poor advice. Worse still, you cannot
    prove the credibility of a firm through its sites
    only and some of the information posted as it may
    not reflect the actual nature of the firm. Poor
    analyses of your situation may thus contribute to
    a breach of contract.

5
Defamation Issues
  • When giving information or seeking advice,
    individuals may take to post a negative image of
    other companies or individual they are against
    even when theres no proof of what they claim.
    For example, it could be a customer airing
    grievances against a supplier to taint his image.
    It might also be a competitor outdoing their
    rivals through false complaints. As a word of
    caution, legal firms offering online advice
    should conduct due diligence through prior review
    before any publications.
