How it Works
1
Free Attorney Call(s)
Select up to 3 TC Certified® attorneys to reach out within 2 business days. Discuss your concern with each and engage the attorney you’re most comfortable with in order to receive legal advice.
What if an attorney doesn’t call?
In the unlikely event an attorney doesn’t reach out, it’s more unlikely the other two attorneys will not reach out.
2
Engage an attorney
Return the signed Fee Agreement and advance fee to retain an attorney.
What if I can’t afford an attorney?
Legal problems don’t get less expensive after the close of escrow. Timely Contract’s legal solutions cost pennies on the dollar before the close of escrow compared to unreliable court remedies after the close.
