Free Legal Advice: 5 Best Sites That Are Actually Free

Quora

Maybe your question is less straightforward, but you’re not ready to pay for a 15-minute phone call. Quora is your next stop.

Quora is what Yahoo Answers tried to be. It is a place where experts in every arena can network and display their prowess by answering people’s questions. Good answers rise to the top, bad answers languish at the bottom. It’s a great resource for many topics, including the law.

For example, maybe your “angel investor threatens to file a criminal fraud complaint if I don’t return their money. They flipped out when I told them I filed for bankruptcy. What do I do?” (This was an actual Quora question.) Well, then you may get five paragraphs from a startup attorney, totally free. (Here’s the actual Quora answer)

Of course, there’s no guarantee that lawyers will hop on your question and answer it for free. But if you’re willing to wait a few days, it’s worth asking.

Pro-tip: Share your question on social media to increase your chances of getting an answer.
