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 "Intro 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?
Entry Level subscribers get access to limited flat fee legal services and Premier Level subscribers get access to all available flat fee legal services. Freelancers and Business Counsel subscribers get some of those flat fee legal services bundled with their subscription level at a discounted price. All subscribers get access to the growing Knowledge Base of generalized answers to legal questions received from clients over time.
If my legal needs increase, can I upgrade my subscription level?
You can change your subscription level at any time. If you are an Entry Level subscriber and you need to become a Premier Level subscriber, then you will be charged the difference in subscription price when you upgrade, and your subsequent monthly charges will also increase.
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 subscription level. 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.
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 subscription level.
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.

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. Subscription Attorney LLC only offers litigation consulting if you decide to represent yourself in court Pro Se. If you don’t decide to represent yourself Pro Se in litigation, 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.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

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.
