How to Afford a Lawyer

The Smarter Alternative to Free and Pro Bono Legal Help

Pro bono attorneys are rare and hard to qualify for. Hourly legal fees average $100–$500 per hour. Our prepaid legal plan solves both problems — you pay a simple, affordable membership fee and get access to a dedicated provider law firm in your state, covering a wide range of personal and family legal matters with no retainer and no hourly billing.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I afford a lawyer on a tight budget?

A prepaid legal plan is the most practical solution. Instead of paying $100–$500 per hour, you pay a flat monthly membership fee — starting as low as $1/day — and get access to a real attorney for consultations, document review, court representation, and more.

What is a prepaid legal plan or legal plan membership?

A prepaid legal plan (also called a legal plan membership or subscription lawyer service) works like insurance for legal issues. You pay a small monthly fee and in return get access to a dedicated attorney who can advise you, review documents, write letters, and represent you — without charging you by the hour.

Is this a pro bono or free legal service?

No — pro bono attorneys are rare, limited in capacity, and often unavailable for your specific situation. Our legal plan is an affordable paid alternative starting at around $1/day that gives you reliable, consistent access to a qualified attorney in your state — without the uncertainty of finding free legal help.

Does the plan cover civil rights issues?

Yes. Your plan includes 24/7 emergency access to an attorney if your rights, freedoms, or liberties are threatened — including situations involving law enforcement, government officials, or anyone attempting to deprive you of your legal rights.

Can I use this plan for child support or custody issues?

Yes. Family law is one of the most common reasons members use their plan. Your attorney can advise you on child support, child custody disputes, divorce, adoption, and name changes — all included in your membership.

When does my coverage start?

Coverage begins immediately upon enrollment for most benefits, including 24/7 emergency access, advice and consultation, document review, and more. Some benefits (such as uncontested divorce, adoption, and name change) become available after 90 consecutive days of membership.

Facing a Legal Issue Right Now?

Don't go it alone — and don't wait to find a pro bono attorney who may never have availability. For less than $1 a day, your legal plan membership connects you with a qualified attorney in your state who is ready to help. Fill out the form above and a legal representative will reach out to schedule your free consultation.

We were pleased and would highly recommend your services.

The lawyer who spoke with me was extremely helpful. She answered all my questions, made sure I knew where to complete the Will forms online, and called me to confirm information to complete our forms. The completed Will, Power of Attorney, and Directive to Physicians were completed and back to us within a week. We were pleased and would highly recommend your services.
