33. Hello, this is Kelly
from Legal Loom
where we’ve been
sewing disruption in
the legal profession
since 2022. And what
is your name?

34. My name is Tom. Tom
Robinson. I need a
lawyer to represent me
in an assault case.

35. I see you are a
subscriber to the
Legal Loom Stitch in
Time plan with
complimentary forms.
Have you tried our
small claims court
forms?

36. Oh, you did? And the
judge told you to get a
lawyer. Hmm...let’s
see if I can find one
under your plan. What
about this one...

37. Oh, you did? And the
judge told you to get a
lawyer. Hmm...let’s
see who is on your
plan. What about this
one...
Atticus
Finch
COMMUNITY RATING:
F

38. No, that won’t work.
Let’s see why he has
such negative
reviews...

39. Hmm..maybe not.
reviews....

40. Well, Mr. Finch will have to be
removed from our program. I
may be able to bump you up to
a GoldWeave lawyer but I
need to crunch some numbers.
OK- so you are located in
Maycomb County, Alabama?
You are African American, and
the complainant is Caucasian?
Just a moment please...

42. I am terribly sorry, but we are
coming up with a .0001
percent chance of you winning
the case. I am very sorry but
we won’t be able to help you
with a lawyer today. But if you
would like, I can put you in
touch with one of our Plea
Bargain Technicians who may
be able to help you. And is
there anything else I can assist
you with today?
