Tech savvy and compassionate, Florida lawyers are outperforming most other states when it comes to volunteering for Free Legal Answers, the online legal clinic that is growing increasingly popular.

Since Free Legal Answers went live in May 2017, Florida attorneys have posted an average answer rate of 85%, said Francisco-Javier Digon-Greer, the Bar’s assistant director for programs.

“The national average is 75%,” he said. “We are 10% higher overall, but during the COVID time, March 1, 2020, until November 15, 2020, the [Florida] answer rate iswas 95%.”
