Accountability & Oversight
Attorneys Answer to Someone. Exit Companies Answer to No One.
Attorneys are licensed with the State Bar, which controls their professional licenses, regulates their continuing education, and disciplines them if they commit a wrong against a client. Exit companies are licensed with no one.
"There is no recourse if an exit company takes your money and closes down. Attorneys have to answer to the Bar in their state and have professional insurance."
If something happens to your attorney — if the firm closes, if the attorney retires — the State Bar has established protocols to protect their clients' cases and funds. If an exit company closes tomorrow, your money is simply gone. The "money-back guarantee" is not worth the paper it is printed on, and it is not legally enforceable.
Furthermore, it is illegal for a licensed U.S. attorney to guarantee a specific legal outcome. The moment an exit company or any party offers you a "money-back guarantee" on legal work, they have revealed they are not operating within the law.
