    Anyone know of a good legal service for independent contractors in trucking? Need an attorney to look over a contract. Is Legalzoom any good? Thanks in advance! Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Get a local lawyer, sit down with them and go through it. Face to face is the best.

    You get what you pay for with a lawyer, like anything else.

    I saw someone the other day that looked good. Her name is Cassandra Gaines of Gaines law group in Atlanta GA. She looked to have a lot of good experience and focused on transportation and contracts.

    Local lawyers are great but if they don’t know trucking then your just on a hope and a prayer. I’ve learned that many lawyers only make the big bucks because they went to school and passed the bar exam. Not because they are smart nor talented.

    I wouldn't care if the lawyer is local so much but rather how much trucking law he has experience with.
