But Mania said it’s not directional

… or how can free legal advice get expensive? We are writing this article in response to the fact that our legal advice service is increasingly being contacted by people asking us to give them, as they say, “just advice”. Which between the lines means they want good and expert advice ideally from an online lawyer, but free of charge.

Chapters of the article

To the best of our knowledge and conscience, we cannot provide free legal advice. Since many people interpret such a response as an unwillingness or lack of goodwill to help, or worse, as an attempt to make a profit at any cost, we have decided to comment on this and explain to all such people why it is in their interest to pay for advice and a solution to a legal problem, and what they can avoid by relying only on free legal advice. This is a follow-up to our article Why it pays to pay for legal services.

1. Free legal advice

If you are in a situation where you really can’t afford to pay for legal advice, you always have the option of using free legal advice services, which are subsidised by the state, funded by donations or patrons. Such free legal aid clinics are usually non-profit organizations that you can always contact. Alternatively, you can contact the Czech Bar Association (CBA), which may, in certain circumstances, appoint a particular lawyer from a list of lawyers maintained by the CBA to provide free legal advice. However, these are usually serious and difficult life situations. Can you imagine someone asking for free legal advice on how to sell their flat without legal risks? And they wanted “just advice”? Moreover, even “free lawyers” from non-profit organizations are paid and earn their living from this work, even if they are not paid directly for individual services in the form of attorney’s fees and do not receive money directly from their clients.

2. The only attorney available at any given time is for you

If you want “just advice,” can anyone guarantee that they will actually take the time to see you? And as much time as you yourself need? Imagine coming in for advice and learning that no matter what, the expert only has five minutes to deal with you, and then you have to deal with it yourself… Look it up in the statute book, page 32, section 10, paragraph a. You’ll get over it somehow!

An affordable lawyer is an online law firm that is always on your side. Although we are attorneys mostly from Prague, we can help you wherever you are. We defend your interests, your claims. At the appointed time, we are there only for you as your legal representative. We look for and find for you a solution to your legal problem, tailor-made. Responsibly and discreetly. The prices of our services are affordable for virtually everyone. You always know in advance what you will pay for and how much. Need to know more?

Solutions Tailored for You

Our team of experienced attorneys will help you solve any legal issue. Within 24 hours we’ll evaluate your situation and suggest a step-by-step solution, including all costs. The price for this proposal is only CZK 690, and this is refunded to you when you order service from us.

3. The available attorney is directly responsible for the legal advice provided

Asking if you’ve seen the movie Ball Lightning is probably pointless, right? And can you recall the catchphrase that was uttered just before the fast liaison hit the road? “… but Mania said it wasn’t directional.” And Mania’s reaction when she heard about the compensation?

“But I didn’t know, if I had known, I would have talked her out of it. Anezka, you should have told me that it was so many families and so much money. I didn’t know that.” That’s exactly what can happen when you take “just advice” from a “legal advisor” who is not responsible for his advice.

The Affordable Lawyer is an online legal service that is guaranteed by reliable professionals, attorneys who take personal responsibility for their work and vouch for it on their behalf. We advise you well and to the best of our knowledge and conscience. And precisely for the specific situation you are dealing with. In addition, we are insured for all cases, for double the market standard.

If you are expecting general advice and half-hearted solutions, then you’d better visit a marketplace with free contracts, or go straight to Mrs. Mania, she always has one.

4. An affordable solicitor is affordable for virtually everyone

Have you ever had the experience of ordering a service within a certain scope, only to find out that it took more time and you paid twice as much? Without consulting with you? Or you wanted something for free, only to find out that the free service was automatically accompanied by a horrendously priced other service. And there’s no way to get out of it? Don’t expect us to do that either. If you want to opt for an opaque system where you’re not sure of anything, then look elsewhere than Affordable Lawyer for legal help.

The prices for our legal services are affordable for virtually everyone. You choose what legal services you want to use. The prices for the services we provide are fixed. So you always know in advance what you will pay for and how much. If you just want a little advice, book the cheapest consultation. You will get the same quality of service as if you had paid thousands for a consultation. We don’t discriminate. We give the best legal advice to everyone, no matter what.

Do you like it? But… are you looking for a snag? Just use our services and see for yourself the quality.

5. We offer good advice for free on our blog

ArticlesNews from the world of law, expert articles written for you by attorneys, and even in plain language. After reading them, you will get an overview or find much needed information.

We keep track of new laws for you, describing legal issues that concern you. And we post them regularly on our Facebook profile.

We are ready to serve you well with legal advice in our online legal advice room, to check or draw up your contract so that you don’t rush to buy a property or in business, to advise you on work problems. And much more.

Of course, we have to charge for all of these services because even though we are online lawyers, we are in the real world. We want to serve you impartially, responsibly and for your benefit and your benefit only. We can’t do that without compensation. After all, no good service in the world is free. And by paying for our services, you, in turn, are letting us know that the advice was helpful to you, that it helped you save money that you would have otherwise lost because you could not have resolved the entire situation on your own or with the help of “Ms. Mania,” whatever her name is, the way online attorneys, for whom their work is also their mission, can. And they do it with full commitment. And in your interest.

I work as a self-employed craftsman and I know my field very well. Unexpected events happen, however, and I sometimes have to deal with problems where I need quality legal advice. I don’t like calling legal offices, getting sucked into discussions with terms I don’t understand. Dostupnyadvokat.cz is different. My first time, they replied immediately (zobrazit více) and together we created a contract custom tailored to my exact needs. I continue to be very happy with both their work and their price.

Dostupný advokát updated the terms of a contract for our web portal studentino.cz, to insure that they were in strict accordance with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). The entire process was done online and for reasonable price.

Seriously, what could be better than that? While it sounds ‘too good to be true,’ I’m happy to report that the staff at DA are pros, and what’s more they are honestly dedicated to their awesome mission, which is to make quality legal services affordable for the average person. I find their prices very fair when compared to what I’ve usually paid for similar services, which means I (and my family and friends) can get the legal help I need without worrying about some black hole of never-ending fees. In my own experience with DA I’ve found everyone there very responsive, and emails and calls are answered in a timely manner. Their large staff also gives me confidence that any legal needs I have can be handled professionally, as there’s always someone with experience in my particular issue. Their head attorney also writes a regular blog and keeps up with all the latest legal trends, which means they as a business stay up-to-date. As someone who’s spent a fortune over the years on legal assistance, or tried to “go it alone” when I couldn’t afford legal help, I wish Dostupny Advokat had been around a long time ago. I highly encourage anyone who needs legal help to TRY THEM FIRST!
