Thanks to new Augusta-based LegalSpark, which is launching today, Georgia residents can now get legal advice within minutes. LegalSpark is a brand-new technology company revolutionizing the way Georgians connect with lawyers. Think of it as a “Dial-A-Doc” service for legal advice... except your lawyer calls you.

And in honor of National Law Day on May 1, LegalSpark is offering free 20-minute calls with its team of more than 50 experienced, qualified Georgia lawyers.

To get free legal advice this week, Augusta residents can simply visit www.LegalSpark.com today, select a topic and enter promo code FREESPARK.  Then, they can sit back and wait for a Georgia-bar licensed, LegalSpark-vetted lawyer to call them within minutes.  Credits can be used within seven days or while supplies last.

While available Georgia-wide, LegalSpark’s full-time home is in Augusta. The LegalSpark team is also behind the success of (also Augusta-based) TaxSlayer.

“Every year on National Law Day, bar associations around the U.S. celebrate the role of law in American society,” said founder and Augusta attorney Nick Gladd. “It’s also a time for building on lawyers’ relationships with their communities and cultivating greater understanding of the legal profession. What better moment to introduce Augusta to LegalSpark?”

After this initial offer, these 20-minute sessions, or “sparks,” will be priced at $50. LegalSpark is breaking down barriers, giving everyone equal access and convenient to legal advice—on demand.

Trustworthy, efficient legal advice -- no strings attached, and with no surprise charges.

How LegalSpark works.

There’s no need to create an account, so all sparks are completely private, confidential and secure. Sparks are conducted through a masked phone number, so phone numbers are protected on both ends. Calls are never recorded, and lawyers adhere to their legal and ethical confidentiality commitments. These are real lawyers operating under firm codes of ethics.

Using LegalSpark is as easy as 1-2-3:

Choose a legal topic on legalspark.com.

Based on that topic, LegalSpark will pair you with a local expert (or select your own from its list of recommended lawyers).

Relax and wait for your call in minutes (or select a convenient appointment time).

If the call goes over 20 minutes, it won’t end abruptly and you won’t be charged extra. Plus, no one will hassle you when you’re finished with your call. Your relationship with the lawyer is over as soon as you hang up (unless you don’t want it to be).

Because LegalSpark has a robust team of vetted, verified lawyers, it can quickly connect you with someone experienced in your legal area of need. There’s no gatekeeper. Once you request a call, find a quiet spot and get ready to receive actionable advice.

When to use LegalSpark.

“You might have heard of other legal software or online resources, but none of them do what we do,” said Gladd. “We get you personalized answers to your legal question, from a qualified local lawyer, quickly.”

Here are just a few applications for LegalSpark’s revolutionary new approach to connecting Georgians with qualified lawyers.

Get an initial consultation.

A situation arises and you need actionable advice right away. You'd be surprised how much you can accomplish during a 20-minute phone call.

Seek a second opinion.

Did another attorney give you advice you’re not sure about? Run those recommendations by another trusted source to gain another perspective.

Build an ongoing relationship.

Some situations are more complex. Your 20-minute call can be the start of a longer-term partnership with a trusted local lawyer—but only if you want it to be.

Our experienced legal team can deliver advice across a wide variety of practice areas, including immigration, estate planning, family & divorce and real estate.
