Is ShieldMyDoc a lawyer?
No. ShieldMyDoc is an informational tool that helps you understand potentially important language in documents. It does not provide legal advice, represent you, determine whether an agreement is enforceable, or replace a licensed attorney.
Think of ShieldMyDoc as your first look — not your final legal decision.
