The 10 questions people ask most

Do I need a lawyer to review a contract before signing?

For anything with real money, long terms or personal liability — yes. A one-hour review is far cheaper than exiting a bad clause later. Focus on termination, penalties and IP.

Can I be fired without cause?

Depends on your jurisdiction and contract type. Many places allow it with notice or severance; firing for discriminatory or retaliatory reasons is illegal almost everywhere. Document everything.

What are my rights as a tenant?

Usually: a habitable unit, notice before entry, limits on deposits, and a legal process for eviction. Rules vary a lot by city — check local tenancy law before acting.

How does divorce work and how long does it take?

Uncontested divorces (agreement on assets and custody) can close in weeks or months; contested ones take years. Mediation first often saves both money and children's stress.

What should a freelance contract include?

Scope, deliverables, deadlines, payment terms with late penalties, revision limits, IP transfer on payment, and a kill fee. Most freelancer disputes come from missing one of these.

Someone owes me money and won't pay. What can I do?

Written demand first, then small-claims court for modest amounts (cheap, no lawyer needed in many places), or a collection/civil claim for bigger debts. Keep every message.

What happens if I die without a will?

The law decides who inherits — usually spouse and children in fixed shares — and courts appoint guardians. A simple will avoids years of family conflict.

Can I use a name/logo similar to an existing brand?

Risky if it causes confusion in the same market — that's trademark infringement even without copying exactly. Search registries before investing in branding.

What do I do after a car accident?

Safety first, photos of everything, exchange details, report to police/insurer within the deadline, and never admit fault at the scene — facts get sorted later.

Is an online consultation with a lawyer valid?

Yes — orientation, document review and strategy work well remotely. Formal representation may require local licensing, which the lawyer will confirm.
