DETAILS
It was the proposed cuts to legal aid nationwide that spurred Moini to take a leap in October and leave Sidley to launch HelpSelf Legal, an online platform for self-represented litigants to create documents and filings in routine legal matters. HelpSelf’s first product is designed to assist domestic violence victims in California. Moini expects to expand to other types of legal matters and more states.
“Hopefully, we’ll have a system that will allow people to have much greater success than they would if they were going it on their own,” said Moini, who lives in Los Angeles.
