An Albion man pleaded guilty Monday to passing himself off as a lawyer to the elderly mother of a longtime Buffalo friend, charging her for prepaid legal services for the last nine years and bilking her out of $7,800 in a Buffalo property deal. James Mays, 42, of East State Street, Albion, was allowed to remain free without bail after he pleaded guilty before Buffalo City Judge Kevin J. Keane to two misdemeanor counts of fourth- degree grand larceny and a single misdemeanor count of practicing law without a license.
As the bad economy dries up lawyers' streams of new clients, the prepaid legal services industry is looking to expand in Missouri. Prepaid legal contracts can deliver dozens of new clients, but there's a tradeoff. Participating lawyers must agree to slash legal fees and often deal with the pitfalls of free consultations.
Attorneys wanting to provide services through one or all of five national prepaid legal plans can now apply through a single portal at the American Prepaid Legal Services Institute Web site. Tori Jo Wible, institute executive director, said joining a legal plan panel can be a good decision for lawyers who want to increase their general civil caseload.

And that means they've met Kathy Viette, 44, who manages the Daleville facility located right next to The Three Pigs restaurant in the Kroger shopping center. Yes, you recognized the Viette name. Her well known father-in- law Andre Viette gives gardening advice on the radio every Saturday morning. Her husband Scott grew up in that business but now works as an account broker for Prepaid Legal Services, Inc. So he leaves Curves strictly to his wife.
Much of attorney Robert Johnson's practice involves defending insurance claims against supermarkets and trucking companies. But for the past five years, he has also worked for several prepaid legal plans, doing basic legal services ranging from preparing wills to representing tenants in disputes with landlords. Legal plans offer you a balance and a constant source of income," said Johnson, a partner at Johnson & Liebman in New York.
