Serving the Upper Peninsula of Michigan remotely from Marquette!
Taproot helps people represent themselves by offering flexible advice sessions for legal counseling, fill-in-the-blank legal documents, and classes as alternative ways to complete legal projects.
Advice
$250 per session over the phone and $300 in person
Advice sessions involve active problem-solving with our attorney to generate options that move clients forward in a way that aligns with their lifestyle and values.
At Taproot, clients buy sessions as needed. Advice sessions work more like appointments with a therapist or doctor: you buy sessions as you need them! This makes it perfect for smaller budget, simple legal projects, or legal education. Clients who have more complicated projects or more than one project will schedule additional sessions as special issues arise.
- breaking down complicated concepts or process;
- making a more informed decision;
- sorting out overwhelming information online;
- getting unstuck on your legal project;

- asking questions about filling out a form.
