When you have a lawyer, you don’t need to be one.

At Smol Law, we offer affordable legal help through a simple subscription plan that gives you direct access to an attorney.

Everyone deserves access to legal support

Hi, I’m Melissa Hall, a personal attorney in Seattle, WA. Legal challenges can be daunting, especially when you don’t have a lawyer in your corner. That’s why I created a new kind of legal service—one that’s committed to supporting you through all of life’s twists and turns. My practice is built on a community-supported model, designed to offer you peace of mind, clarity, and the assurance that you have someone to turn to when things get confusing or scary.

Your subscription to peace of mind

I offer a unique monthly legal subscription plan that grants you ongoing access to my services whenever you need them. Unlike traditional law firms that charge by the hour or per service, my income comes solely from this subscription and the tips you choose to give when you find value in my work. This model ensures that you have a trusted legal advisor on standby without the fear of unpredictable costs. I am the cousin who is an attorney for people who don’t have a cousin who is an attorney.

At Smol Law, I offer three tailored service tiers
