A large prepaid legal service provider, Prepaid Legal Services, Inc., published its list of the top 5 categories of requests for its services last year. They are:

Real Estate, Landlord/Tenant Issues and Foreclosure – Approximately 358,000 requests for legal services that include residential and commercial real estate transactions, landlord and tenant issues and legal counsel related to foreclosure and short sales

Consumer Finance – Approximately 195,000 requests for legal services related to retail transactions for warranties, guarantees and other contracts

Family Law – Approximately 193,000 requests for legal services related to divorce, child support, child custody and child visitation

Collections – Approximately 162,000 requests for legal assistance to support members against other parties and to defend members from third-party debt collectors

All of these areas, with the exception of family law, are currently covered by Pittsburgh Legal Back Talk.

Bankruptcy and criminal law are probably 6 and 7.
