@pamelaoliver honestly I’d seek a bit more nuance from a professor. The app is free to low income people and $7/mo isn’t a bank breaking amount for middle and high income earners.

@QasimRashid Fair. I missed the free part and saw only the 60/30 part. But am still wondering about how this would work in practice. I'll ask folks in my community group about this as we have specifically discussing how Black people experience police stops.

@QasimRashid
How is it means tested? Typically the most vulnerable in society have the hardest time providing proof of income (homeless, undocumented, etc).

@QasimRashid FWIW I dug more because I was trying to understand the business model. It is a for-profit firm. For free, attorneys can join the plan and offer assistance to people on a volunteer basis. For $1000/year they can be paid $200 per person helped in a visa gift card (gig economy). They also had an ad on their site for lawyer gig work that is no longer open & a "premium" lawyer plan you contact them about. So trying to do good in a financially viable way.
