Welcome back to Found, where we bring you the fascinating stories behind startups.
This week Becca and Dom are joined by Charlie Hernandez, the founder and CEO of My Pocket Lawyer, an innovative online platform that seeks to make legal advice and guidance accessible to those who may not have the means to hire a lawyer. In this candid conversation, Hernandez shares his personal journey of forgoing a traditional career in law to address this prevalent issue. He also delves into the following topics:
- How My Pocket Lawyer leverages AI technology to curate and provide easy access to publicly available legal documents, aiding individuals in navigating their legal situations.
- Why a startup like My Pocket Lawyer offers a more scalable and effective solution to solving this problem, as compared to the traditional methods of pro bono work or nonprofits.
- The feedback and reactions Hernandez has received from potential customers and the legal industry, some of which have been challenging to navigate.
After the enlightening conversation, Dom and Becca take a moment to reflect on the company’s mission. They also discuss the potential challenges that the startup may face when it comes to gaining trust from customers and their lingering curiosity about the revenue model of such a product.
