There are times where you might want to speak with an actual lawyer. Both LegalZoom and Rocket Lawyer can connect you with a lawyer to answer some of your legal questions.

LegalZoom is the best site for beginners as it offers a wide variety of legal documents that you can easily complete online with the help from their guidance.

If you or your business only have one or two documents that need to be completed, Rocket Lawyer might not be the right choice since they charge a monthly fee regardless of how many documents you complete and file.
