There are many good sources of legal information. In a sea of misinformation and disinformation, it is important to get information about the law from reputable sources.
The rise of the internet has significantly expanded public access to legal information, offering numerous benefits:
1. Increased Access to Justice:
Empowerment: Online legal resources and portals empower individuals to understand their rights and explore options for resolving legal problems, even when they cannot afford an attorney.
Reduced Barriers: Digital access breaks down geographical and financial barriers, making it easier for individuals in remote areas or with limited financial means to access legal information and services.
Self-Help Resources: Online platforms often provide access to legal forms, self-help guides, and resources that help people navigate legal processes on their own, especially in common areas like family law or housing issues.
2. Improved Legal Literacy and Understanding:
Legal Education: Online legal studies and platforms educate individuals about legal concepts, rights, and responsibilities, promoting greater legal literacy and civic engagement.
Better-Informed Decisions: Access to legal information allows individuals to make more informed decisions about their legal cases, improving court efficiency and potentially leading to better outcomes.
Understanding Rights: Online resources provide individuals with information about their rights in various legal areas, empowering them to protect themselves and advocate for their interests.
3. Enhanced Efficiency and Convenience:
24/7 Access: Online platforms offer round-the-clock availability, allowing individuals to access legal information at any time, reducing the need for in-person visits to courthouses or law offices.
Convenience: Individuals can find answers to legal questions or access legal documents from the comfort of their homes, saving time and effort.
Faster Information: Online platforms can provide quick access to updated laws, regulations, and case summaries, allowing individuals to stay informed about legal changes.
4. Transparency and Accountability:
Open Access to Public Records: Online access to court records and public information promotes transparency and accountability in the justice system.
Monitoring Government Operations: Access to information allows citizens to monitor government actions and hold public officials accountable.
In summary, the public’s access to legal information on the internet is crucial for promoting justice, empowering individuals, and increasing transparency and efficiency within the legal system. While challenges exist regarding information accuracy and accessibility, the benefits of online resources continue to grow as technology advances and initiatives are developed to improve the digital legal landscape.

I am an experienced solo estate planning, debtor bankruptcy, and real estate attorney. At my law firm in Bellevue, Washington between Eastgate and Factoria, I do things a little differently. I am passionate about helping people take control of their lives.
One of my primary practice areas is urgent (bankruptcy), and the other is important, but not urgent (estate planning). Not letting the urgent crowd out the important is key. I have made a choice to include the positive difference I make in the life of each client in how I calculate profit. This means I have higher job satisfaction, and happy clients who confidently give referrals.
My goal is that my work is transformative for people during a challenging time in their lives. At Mulvaney Law Offices, PLLC (MLO), you will not find a gatekeeper. There are no forgotten cases hiding on an associate’s cluttered desk. It’s just me, working with each one of my clients one-on-one to resolve their legal concerns as favorably as possible.
As your lawyer, I will personally handle every aspect of your case. My office is not a factory churning out thousands of filings per year, where each case matters little. You, and your case, matter to me. You can see what clients have said about me, and leave your own reviews at these links.
Mulvaney Law Offices, PLLC is located in Bellevue, Washington, representing estate planning & chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy, clients in all 39 Washington Counties.
Washington State residents can meet with me in Zoom/DocuSign from anywhere in the world, and I can notarize their electronic signatures because I am a remote online notary. Just email me an image of your photo ID.
