LegalZoom .com Reviews? Complaints? Referral Codes? I only see good stuff about this web site..

Someone I know recently plunked down 500 bucks to have LegalZoom.com prepare a trust for him.

So of course I Googled everything I could about Legal Zoom reviews, Legal Zoom complaints (thankfully, I found none of those) and Legal Zoom referral codes.

Unfortunately, I haven't yet found any Legal Zoom referral codes or coupon discounts to make that fee less biting, but I'm more grateful that I've found no negative stuff about the site founded by Robert Shapiro.

I think LegalZoom.com is a great idea.

Heck, depending on the experience the guy I know has with it, I might use it for my will or something...

Update: Boy it's been years since I wrote this post about Legal Zoom, and despite all the complaints logged below, they seem to be going strong.(I've learned that people may tend not to leave their positive comments online maybe when they see a barrage of negative comments online.)

Admittedly, my dad only used them to prepare his will, and we haven't had need of it yet, bless God, so not really sure how effective it is. (Update: My dad "went to glory" -- as he called going to heaven with Jesus -- on 9/29/2011, and we had no issues with his will. After all, it was just my sister and I and we didn't really need it.)

I used "The Company Corporation" to form my writing LLC business, and I'm very satisfied with them thus far. However, I see people use Legal Zoom to form their LLCs, incorporate their businesses, even change their names and get divorces and more. I think the wide advertising campaign helps, and for the most part, people just don't want to research legal stuff and lots of paperwork themselves, and prefer to pay others to do so. (That's why I paid my CPA $350 today to file my LLC and personal taxes!)

But keep your Legal Zoom feedback coming! Thanks!

Here's feedback that Legal Zoom sent me:
