Ask a Lawyer (Legal Q&A)

What is Legal Q&A?

Legal Q&A is a subscription service that lets you submit written legal questions and receive detailed, written answers from licensed attorneys. Unlike a full consultation, Q&A is asynchronous — you submit your question, and an attorney responds within 24–48 hours depending on your plan.

It is ideal for understanding your rights, getting plain-language explanations of legal concepts, or deciding whether your situation needs a full attorney engagement.

Subscription plans

All plans auto-renew. You can cancel anytime from the Billing section — your access continues until the end of the current billing period.

How to subscribe

1. 1Go to Ask a Lawyer in the left sidebar (getfrith.com/my-services/legal-qa).
2. 2Review the three plans and click Subscribe under the one that fits your needs.
3. 3Complete checkout with your credit card. Your plan activates immediately.
4. 4Your subscription status appears on the My Services dashboard — it shows your plan, questions remaining, and renewal date.

How to ask a question

1. 1Click Ask a question at the top of the Ask a Lawyer page.
2. 2Select the practice area that best matches your question (e.g. Employment, Immigration, Family Law).
3. 3Write your question in as much detail as possible — include relevant facts, dates, state/jurisdiction, and what you are trying to understand or achieve.
4. 4Submit. One question is deducted from your monthly allowance immediately.
5. 5An attorney will review and respond within the timeframe for your plan (24 hours for Standard/Unlimited, 48 hours for Starter).
6. 6You will receive an email notification when your answer is ready. Open the question thread to read the response and submit any follow-up clarification (included at no extra cost).

Common question topics

Questions outside these areas are also accepted — attorneys will let you know if your question falls outside the scope of the service.

Viewing past questions

All your submitted questions and attorney responses are saved in your portal. To view them:

1. 1Go to Ask a Lawyer and click View my questions.
2. 2Your question history lists all submissions with the question text, submission date, practice area, and status (Pending / Answered).
3. 3Click any question to open the full thread including the attorney response and any follow-up messages.

Questions remaining

Your My Services dashboard always shows how many questions you have remaining this month. Questions reset on your billing renewal date — unused questions do not carry over to the next month. The Unlimited plan has no cap.
