Independent Legal Advice

Independent legal advice (ILA) refers to the legal advice provided to an individual by a lawyer who is not associated with the other party or parties involved in a legal transaction or agreement. The purpose of ILA is to ensure that the individual fully understands the nature and consequences of the transaction or agreement before signing it.

At Zaidi Legal PC, we can provide ILA to clients in a wide range of legal transactions, including:
