Frequently asked questions
Is this legal advice?+
No — Scofflaw is a first-pass self-help tool, not the final word. See our Terms for the full disclaimer.
How is this different from just using ChatGPT?+
ChatGPT is a blank box. Scofflaw is built for legal documents — trained on nearly two decades of real legal correspondence and documents, not generic internet text. Reviews come back structured into risk flags, missing terms, suggested revisions, and questions for counsel; drafts come back as a structured first pass from a 20+ template library, jurisdiction-aware — neither of which a general chatbot will give you.
Who is Scofflaw for?+
Small business owners, contractors, freelancers, founders — anyone who signs real agreements without a lawyer on call. Most legal AI is built for law firms and in-house legal teams, with pricing and onboarding to match. Scofflaw is built for everyone else: sign up in a browser, pay consumer prices, and get a structured, lawyer-like first pass on the documents you actually sign.
What's included in the Free plan?+
5 first-pass reviews and 5 first-pass drafts per month, the full template library, jurisdiction-aware guidance, and watermarked exports — enough to try both sides of Scofflaw before committing to a paid plan.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Plans are month-to-month or annual with no long-term contract.
Do you support multiple jurisdictions?+
Yes — jurisdiction-aware guidance is included on every plan, Free included. Coverage is expanding; see Pricing for the full breakdown by tier.
What's the Lawyer Review add-on?+
An optional add-on on the Business+ plan that routes a document to a licensed professional for human review, on top of the AI review and draft.
Is Scofflaw an AI legal assistant?+
For the documents, yes — an AI legal assistant for reviewing and drafting, not for legal advice. It reads the agreement, structures the risks and missing terms, and prepares your questions for counsel. It is not a lawyer and not a law firm.
Do I still need a lawyer?+
Sometimes, yes — and Scofflaw will say so. It's built for the first pass, not the final word. When the stakes are high, when you're in a dispute, or when a flag needs judgment on your specific facts, it hands you the risks mapped and the exact questions to bring to counsel — so the lawyer's hour goes further.
Is my data confidential?+
Confidentiality is a non-negotiable in how Scofflaw is built. Documents you upload are used only to serve your reviews and drafts.
