You should meet a friendly lawyer (perhaps an ex classmate who went to law school) and have them "show you the ropes". There's a ton of unnecessary crap that customers (err, "clients") ask for or could and should do themselves.

And there are places lawyers can help a lot (hint: typically not business decisions).

hijacking this to show off something my lawyer friend and I are working on (we’re in YC startup school now). we both agree with some of the comments in this thread. this is a lite landing page but we have mvp almost complete: https://thecaseyak.com/

It’s a ML backed plugin that helps injured people receive a data backed case estimate for a personal injury claim, and law firms receive leads with the data backed case value (it’s also available in Spanish and fully accessible).

We’re looking for beta testers right now - if anyone is in the PI law world and wants to try it out, let us know!
