A possible agreement has been reached to settle a $5 million lawsuit against a vendor for online legal documents before the start of a trial scheduled to begin Monday in federal court in Missouri.
The class-action lawsuit claims California-based LegalZoom.com is not licensed to provide legal services in Missouri and is seeking reimbursement of three times what customers paid for the documents. It was filed by a Missouri resident who used LegalZoom to prepare a will, two others who used the service to organize a remodeling business and the business C&J Remodeling.
