Press Release Summary: Morro Bay Resident, Married and Father of Two, Finds Business Solution to End 10 Year Commute to LA
Press Release Body: John Mahan has been enduring a 3 to 5 hour commute from Morro Bay to Los Angeles for his job for the past 10 years. Twelve months ago, working in a Los Angeles law office late one night, he had an idea.
It was 8PM, Mahan wanted to wrap up his work and get back home to his family in Morro Bay, but still needed to draft just one more pleading due for filing in court the next day and was losing precious time trying to locate this form in one of the hundreds of thousands of client files located in the office. \"Why aren\'t these forms all organized in some sort of database on our computers? Aren\'t these available online? Maybe I can \"google\" this one!?\" were just a few thoughts going through Mahan\'s mind at crunch time. Suddenly the perfect example of a business idea began germinating in his mind, an idea arising from a very immediate specific need. Mahan realized he could create this database and make it available online for all attorneys working in small to medium-sized firms.
Litigators file pleadings in the courts on a weekly, if not daily basis; yet, there exists no online resource which provides access to an organized sequence of these forms. Mahan soon saw the solution to a number of his concerns: a business that would allow him to transition out of law into entrepreneurship, as well as a sure way to end that 4 hour commute and finally be able to spend more quality time with his family.
Mahan had been involved in this law partnership with other family members located in Los Angeles for over 10 years, but could never commit to living full-time in L.A. What had started as a summer internship at this LA office, gradually became a full time job which he was never really fully content with. Mahan, his wife and two young daughters settled in Morro Bay and Mahan decided he would spend 4 days per week in Los Angeles for his law work and telecommute one day per week from Morro Bay. Until the night he had the idea.
Mahan created PleadingPrep.com, after hiring Ryan Guest, a Cal Poly Computer Science graduate, to help design the website and even create an \"iPod-style\" search method to access all these forms. It took Mahan and Guest a 12 full months to create and organize these thousands of forms, but now that the system is up and running, it can literally cut an attorney\'s work time in half. It is certainly a niche service for a niche market, but it works. PleadingPrep.com was launched on January 22, 2008, and already has more than a dozen faithful users; not quite enough to stop the commute cold turkey, but Mahan is hoping to be able to graciously bow out of his LA office by June 1, 2008.
