56% of law firms report a decrease in requests for legal work. 14% of firms report an increase.
50% of consumers plan to delay needed legal work until after the coronavirus crisis has subsided.
Almost 22% of survey respondents believe lawyers have stopped offering legal services during the pandemic.
