Meet the Atlanta lawyer giving free legal advice on the Beltline

Catch up quick: In 2022, Randall thought he could help people — and create interesting content — by standing in a public place and answering questions. "Maybe I'll look like an idiot or maybe it'll work," he told Axios.

• So far it's worked. His snippets of people-on-the-street speed chats have attracted more than 1 million followers across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, racking up tens of millions of views a month, he said.

Zoom in: The questions range from casual to serious and include everything from whether you can use booby traps to protect property (no) to who gets what in a divorce.

• One person rollerbladed away resigned after learning they'd be on the losing side of a division of assets, Randall said.

The intrigue: "I had one person ask me if you could sue the Earth."

Yes, but: Randall has fielded genuine questions from young people about age consent laws and sending explicit photos and passersby who misunderstand Georgia's Stand Your Ground law.

• "If I put out a message that prevents one person from doing something that carries penalties of significant potential harm to themselves [or others]… it's all been worth it."

Follow the money: Randall said he is neither trying to quit his day job nor hand out business cards; he mostly practices insurance law and said he breaks even from monetizing the content.

• "This is 100% altruism."

The bottom line: "The goal was not to be a celebrity and not to be popular online. The goal was always just to try to democratize access to information or, more importantly, dispel people of very dangerous ideas."
