The first comments in here sound fake. I couldn't stand that the site has the default theme from Twitter Bootstrap. Please take an effort to make it a little different.

We made some subtle modifications to the theme (some button corners are less rounded, for example), but left a lot of the defaults in as (1) I actually like (most of) the defaults, and (2) we were more focused on making something functional (figured we can always refine the visual design later).
That may be what your intention is but to me it screams scam. If it weren't for HN comments and recognizing a few of your customers on your 'clients' logos, I'd be off that page so fast.

Default twitter boostrap instantly is a red flag to me that they haven't invested in creating a good image for themselves (read: trust), and that's really important if you hope to have customers, especially with something related to legal.

Just my .02

Great looking service too.

Point well taken - it's one reason why we have all those customers logos up there :) But yes, we will work on visual at some point!
Don't listen to people who tell you not to look like Bootstrap.

On the other hand, try to get the start of your customer list above the fold.

Point well taken, we'll work on that!
Don't listen to people who tell you there's a fold on the web. ;-)
It looks like a startup by lawyers, not developers/designers. If it works for them and they provide a valuable service, so what?
Exactly! Seriously I do not care what theme is used, it could look like Craigslist for all I care, as long as it scratches an itch I have I will use it.
