What do you need help with?
Pick the closest one. Each one starts with a plain-language explainer of how it usually works — the typical paperwork, the typical steps. You can go back any time.
The intake turns what you type into a tidy summary you can take to any attorney. The matching desk shares your inquiry with an independent attorney in your area — only with your permission, and only when you ask.

Get matched with a local lawyer
The matching desk shares your inquiry with an independent attorney in your area so they can contact you directly. Matching is by topic and location only — never by whether anyone thinks a matter is strong or weak.
The matching desk is new. At launch there are no verified attorneys listed yet, so requests go to Steven Mock — the person behind ClearLegal — personally, and he passes your inquiry to an independent attorney in your area. No attorney pays anything to be listed at launch, no attorney is promised inquiries, and there is no guarantee a match is available in every area yet.
ClearLegal is not your lawyer, and using the matching desk does not make ClearLegal your lawyer. Any attorney matched through the desk is an independent third-party lawyer, not an employee or agent of ClearLegal. If you hire that attorney, your agreement is directly with that attorney. ClearLegal does not control, direct, or take part in any legal work that attorney does for you.
ClearLegal never takes a percentage of any legal fee — not now, not later. Your inquiry is never sold.
By tapping "Send my inquiry," you agree that ClearLegal may share the contact information and situation summary you provided with up to 3 independent attorneys in your area so they can contact you directly about your inquiry. ClearLegal is not a law firm and is not your lawyer. Sharing this information does not create an attorney-client relationship with ClearLegal or with any attorney until you and that attorney agree to one directly.
Your email app should now open with your request ready to send to Steven Mock (steven.mock15720@gmail.com). Nothing is sent until you tap Send in your email app. If your email app doesn't open, email your details to steven.mock15720@gmail.com directly and mention ClearLegal.
Finding a lawyer on your own
Every state bar runs a lawyer directory and most run a local referral service — searching "[your state] bar lawyer referral" finds the official one. Many attorneys offer a first consultation at no charge; ask when you call. If cost is the barrier, your local Legal Aid office handles civil matters for people who qualify.

Find a real estate attorney
Built for realtors who need one fast. Pick a metro and a specialty — the list updates as you tap. No submit button, no waiting on anybody.
