Frequently Asked Questions

Why use the subscription and flat fee models for legal services?

Imagine going to the local coffee shop and ordering a craft beverage. Instead of charging you after you've placed your order, you're only charged after the barista has made your drink and handed it to you. Sometimes that drink is $5 and sometimes it's $10. The cost depends on how long it took for the barista to make your drink. Less efficient baristas and inefficient processes make the coffee shop more money. Would you patronize that coffee shop? Attorneys who bill by the hour might think that you would. Just like knowing the cost to buy a caramel macchiato at the time of purchase, legal services should have a knowable price.

Do I really need a lawyer?

A lot of people take a do-it-yourself approach to legal services and put off hiring an attorney in case something goes wrong because they don't know how expensive the lawyer will be to hire. Imagine you have a leaky pipe. You search online and watch videos on how to fix it yourself, and you do! But what you didn't see was an issue not actually visible with your eyes but something a plumber would have known was the actual cause of the leaky pipe. The next day your pipe bursts and you hire a plumber. The plumber charges a premium to respond to an emergency but would have charged a fraction of the price to come fix the problem before it was an emergency. Subscription legal services help you avoid big expensive legal problems by solving them at the "leaky pipe" stage.

How do I know if my problem is a legal problem?

You might not know whether your problem is a legal problem, and that’s okay. By becoming a subscriber at Subscription Attorney LLC, you can talk with an attorney to discuss whether your problem is a legal problem for the starting price of $19.99/month.

Can we meet before I hire you?

You can use the "Free Call" button on the bottom right corner of your screen to schedule a free 15-minute introductory call with Subscription Attorney LLC. You can ask questions about hiring the law firm on the call but will not receive free legal advice. Many attorneys will offer a free initial consultation followed by an expensive billable hour or leave you with only ⅓ of your settlement or judgment amount after fees and liens. Other attorneys charge several hundred dollars for an initial consultation. To get legal advice with Subscription Attorney LLC, subscribe for only $19.99/month.

What if I need more than verbal legal advice?

Personal Attorney Plan Members get access to additional services such as per page pricing. Business Attorney Plan Members get bundled legal services with their subscriptions.

If my legal needs change, can I change my membership plan?

You can change your membership plan at any time. Members will be provided a link to change or cancel the subscription at any time.

Why should I stay subscribed for more than one month?

Few legal problems can be fully addressed in one conversation and in one month. Depending on the supply and demand of legal services and client needs, Subscription Attorney LLC may on occasion raise subscription plan prices. Subscribers will be notified of a future opportunity to lock in your subscription plan price for up to a year.

Can I subscribe if I live outside of Illinois?

At this time, Subscription Attorney LLC is not giving legal advice to people or businesses who have legal issues in a jurisdiction outside of Illinois. If you live outside of Illinois and are transacting business in Illinois, then you can still subscribe. Subscription Attorney LLC will expand its reach once there is enough demand in other jurisdictions.

Can Subscription Attorney LLC handle any of my legal problems?

Subscription Attorney LLC can handle many of your legal needs but may occasionally refer you to an attorney outside of this firm if your legal problem may be better addressed by another law firm. Subscription Attorney LLC does not currently represent clients in litigation or the following practice areas: criminal, bankruptcy, securities, tax, family, privacy, and patents. The Illinois Supreme Court does not recognize certifications of specialties in the practice of law.

What is a conflicts check?

Before Subscription Attorney LLC can represent you, it needs to run a conflicts check. This is an ethical requirement to check the list of current and past clients to make sure there is no conflict with giving you legal advice. If you pass the conflicts check, and if you are a resident of, or are transacting business in Illinois, then Subscription Attorney LLC can offer you legal advice.

Are there refunds?

In order to offer access to legal advice at affordable rates, it is cost prohibitive to offer refunds after an attorney-client relationship is formed. All subscribers receive immediate value upon paying for a membership plan. You can cancel your subscription at any time. Refunds are only provided to prospective clients who don’t pass a conflicts check and a payment is processed before that determination is made. In most situations where a prospective client fails a conflicts check, pending charges should be reversed before being fully processed. Refunds may not be for the full amount paid since there are processing fees incurred regardless of a refund being issues. Full refunds, where Subscription Attorney LLC takes a loss on processing fees, is done completely at Subscription Attorney LLC's discretion.

Can Subscription Attorney LLC handle all of my business needs as my Business Counsel?

Businesses have different needs, the practice of law has grown more specialized over the years, and attorney licensure is limited to specific jurisdictions. Subscription Attorney LLC has designed a model for businesses who have no need for, or do not want to hire, an in-house attorney. That includes managing other outside counsel who practice in a different jurisdiction or in a specialized area of law, such as patents. Just as a full-time in-house attorney occasionally needs to hire outside counsel, that may also be needed from time to time for Business Counsel subscribers. Instead of you having to manage these relationships and run your business, Subscription Attorney LLC can become your trusted advisor who will learn your business and manage outside counsel on your behalf in addition to providing monthly and more routine legal advice and services that are part of your membership plan.

Why are Zoom/phone calls emphasized in the subscription plans?

Talking over Zoom or the phone can be a more effective way to preserve attorney-client privilege compared to email or text messages. Emails and text messages are often unencrypted, and accidental exposure of them to someone outside of the attorney-client relationship could mean waiving that very important privilege. That’s why a response to your written communication to Subscription Attorney LLC will request that you schedule a Zoom/phone call to discuss your issues in more detail, and at that time or in a follow up client portal message, provide the appropriate legal advice.

Engagement Agreement and Terms of Service
This Engagement Agreement and Terms of Service govern the terms of your subscription and are incorporated into all services offered by Subscription Attorney LLC and into any service Subscription Attorney LLC provides. By using subscriptionattorney.com, signing up for a membership plan, and engaging Subscription Attorney LLC, you agree, on your own behalf, and if applicable, on behalf of the entity you represent, to be bound by these and any other terms applicable to your subscription and optional flat fee services.
State Law
Subscription Attorney LLC is generally only permitted to assist in matters of Illinois law. If you and/or your business are operating entirely outside of Illinois, then you cannot engage Subscription Attorney LLC to provide legal services at this time.
Subscribing Entity
Generally subscriptions are meant for use by one person or business entity. Document drafting, review, and/or negotiation must relate to the person or business entity for whom a subscription is purchased. Additional people or businesses must sign up for their own subscription.
Services
As part of a subscription, you can:
-Schedule meetings to speak with an attorney for legal advice.
-Submit questions to the attorney and get answers – if there is no document to review and no legal research needed, then there is no additional fee nor does it count against a project limit.
-Access additional services stated on subscriptionattorney.com.
-Access bundled legal services services, if any, as stated on subscriptionattorney.com.
Projects and Contracts Explained
Membership benefits may include a certain amount of "projects." In the context of your membership benefits, a project means: one contract, one letter of intent, one demand letter, one research topic, or one business registration/renewal.
In the context of a project, a "contract" means: terms of service, leases, statements of work, releases, bylaws, agreements (asset purchase, sale, license, operating, consulting, employment, settlement, master services, etc.), and similar kinds of contracts.If there is a transaction that involves a series of contracts, such as an the sale or purchase of a business, then each contract within that sale or purchase counts towards the project limit for that month.Projects do not accrue and continue to count against the project limit from month to month. For example, if you are negotiating as settlement agreement, you have a monthly project limit of three, and it takes four months to fully sign it, then you will have two available projects for those four monthsScheduled Zoom Meetings or Calls
Zoom/calls may be scheduled using the custom scheduling link provided to each client once signed up, payment is made, and a conflicts check is passed. Available slots change based on other clients scheduling time and Subscription Attorney LLC’s general availability. Whether a matter requires additional work outside the scope of a subscription is a decision solely at Subscription Attorney LLC’s discretion.
Document Drafting and Review Requests
Document drafting and/or review requests will be processed in the order they are received. Typical though not guaranteed time to draft and/or review the document is two business days per 10 pages of documents submitted, accounting for weekends and holidays. Subscription Attorney LLC may decline to draft and/or review documents if you submit them in excess volume or if Subscription Attorney LLC believes you are submitting documents for review in a volume or manner that is not commercially reasonable. You may only request document drafts and/or submit documents for review that are for your own use.
Practice Areas & No Litgiation
Subscription Attorney LLC does not and will not represent you in litigation. Subscription Attorney LLC does not file law suits or defend against law suits before a court or any other tribunal. If you need litigation services, then you will be referred to law firms and/or attorneys who can represent you in litigation. Subscription Attorney LLC makes no representations or warranties regarding the quality of the work and fees of these referral law firms and attorneys.
Like most attorneys and law firms, Subscription Attorney LLC does not practice in every area of law, and services offered under a subscription are limited to Subscription Attorney LLC’s practice areas. For instance, if a subscriber calls regarding a matter of criminal law, Subscription Attorney LLC will not be able to offer advice on that subject and may provide a referral to another attorney. Subscription Attorney LLC makes no representations or warranties regarding the quality of the work and fees of these referral law firms and attorneys.Conflicts of Interest
Rules of professional conduct for attorneys prevent representation in some cases where a conflict of interest exists. Subscription Attorney LLC may decline your subscription service if it determines there is a conflict of interest. Though your fee, if already paid, is considered earned prior to the discovery of the conflict of interest (including as a fee for the administrative cost of performing the conflict check), if Subscription Attorney LLC discovers a conflict of interest that prevents your engagement with Subscription Attorney LLC, fees for monthly subscriptions shall be returned for the month in which the conflict was discovered.
Payment By Credit Card
If you are paying any amount to Subscription Attorney LLC by credit card, debit card, or other electronic payment method, you authorize Subscription Attorney LLC to charge your payment method for the indicated amount. If any service is charged on a recurring or automatic basis, you agree to allow Subscription Attorney LLC to automatically charge your account on file.
Monthly Payment
You understand that subscription services are recurring and agree to allow Subscription Attorney LLC to charge your card at renewal. Cancellations will take effect in the next billing cycle.
Subscription Payments
You agree and understand that the monthly subscription fee paid for your membership plan is an earned fixed fee immediately giving you the value of the subscription benefits upon payment that meets the requirements of Illinois law and Illinois’ Rules of Professional Conduct as provided under Subscription Attorney LLC’s Engagement Agreement and Terms of Service. You agree that this is a clear and unambiguous agreement for an earned fee. You understand that if you do not agree to these payment terms you should not subscribe.
Except as otherwise provided, fees paid to Subscription Attorney LLC are considered earned upon receipt as a minimum amount required to provide your subscription and access to subscription benefits such as flat fee services only available to subscribers among other benefits as stated on subscriptionattorney.com. You agree that this is a clear and unambiguous term regarding the status of payments made to Subscription Attorney LLC. You also agree that the mere fact that Subscription Attorney LLC offers a refund does not change the earned upon receipt status of any amount paid to Subscription Attorney LLC and that such amounts are refunds of earned fees and not a return of unearned fees. This includes amounts that are paid to Subscription Attorney LLC as part of a fee payable to a third-party, and such fees shall be considered an expense suffered by Subscription Attorney LLC in providing the service.Right to Disengage
Subscription Attorney LLC reserves the right to terminate our engagement if required by the rules of professional conduct, if you provide false information, or if Subscription Attorney LLC believes it cannot work with you for any reason. Refunds on services terminated by Subscription Attorney LLC are at Subscription Attorney LLC’s discretion. Subscription Attorney LLC will notify you if there is a problem processing your automatic payment. Failure to update your payment method, if needed, may result in a cancellation of your subscription and disengagement.
You may terminate services at any time, but fees already earned will not be refunded. If you cancel your subscription on the date of payment after a payment was already processed, then you will have access to your subscription benefits until the next payment date upon which you will not be charged.Subscription Fee Increases
Subscription Attorney LLC may increase its subscription fees or other flat fee services over time. You will be notified in advance before any fee increases take place. You will not need to take any action if you agree to the fee increase, which will take place automatically, and in that instance you agree to be responsible and charged for paying any increased fees. You can cancel your subscription prior to the date you are billed for the increased fee if you don’t agree with it.
Amendment
Subscription Attorney LLC may amend these terms at any time with or without notice. By continuing to use subscription benefits, you agree to the terms as they may be updated. Changes to terms impacting existing subscriptions will be binding on those services upon the new terms’ effective date provided notice was given to the subscriber at least 30 days in advance of the changes’ effective date. If 30 days notice is not given, then the changes will become effective on the date of the subscriber’s next renewal.

Except as explicitly provided in writing, (1) all other terms of service included in this website or offered for other services provided by Subscription Attorney LLC incorporate this Engagement Agreement and Terms of Service, and (2) where there is a conflict between this Engagement Agreement and Terms of Service and any other terms of service or agreement entered into between you and Subscription Attorney LLC, this Engagement Agreement and Terms of Service shall control.
