About Legal Advice Basics
Legal Advice Basics is an educational website that explains common legal topics in the United States in plain English. We help readers understand basic legal terms, common processes, and reliable places to find official information.
What we do
- Explain legal concepts in simple language.
- Describe common steps in everyday legal situations (example: debt collection notices, small claims basics, tenant issues).
- Provide checklists to help readers organize facts and documents.
- Link to reliable public resources (courts, government agencies, and well-known legal institutions).
What we do not do
- We do not provide legal advice.
- We do not create an attorney-client relationship.
- We do not promise outcomes.
- We do not substitute for a licensed attorney.
Our goal
Our goal is to improve legal literacy so people can make informed decisions, ask better questions, and find the right help.
If you have a time-sensitive issue, court deadline, or urgent safety concern, contact a licensed attorney or a qualified legal aid organization.
