In little people law, such as, debt collection, landlord tenant, family law, some bankruptcy/creditor issues, it usually doesn't take much effort to disrupt the volume practitioners.

The volume-based attorneys often exclusively practice in one area and rarely face an attorney. The few times I defended people, it really threw a monkey wrench into the process.

Unfortunately, there is no money in being a white knight in most areas of little people law.

There has to be a way to apply some kind of scaling to this kind of defense..

Not if you must have a lawyer admitted to the State Bar with a three year JD to pay off. Paralegals can do 99% of the work and have a lawyer review it, sign off on it and be liable for documentation but everything but a lawyer or representing yourself in court is illegal in the US.

No bicycles, motor bikes or Hondas. If you can’t afford a Mercedes you can walk.

Hard to scale up a defense if you can't even get the debtors to do the bare minimum of showing up to court.

Like classes of people...

Useful in some situations, but generally limited by consumer contracts and because people with damages arising out of different circumstances are hard to group into a class.
