Talk to a lawyer
Two ways to reach a licensed attorney
One is free and one is paid, and the difference is not how good the answer is. It is how much work you are asking somebody to do. Both go to attorneys admitted to a bar and accountable to it.
It is usually worth doing the free part first
Drafting and review cost nothing and take a few minutes, and an attorney who can see the document and the analysis is starting from further along than one reading a description of it. If you already know you want a person, neither is a prerequisite.
The two paths
Free
A written consultation
Send your question, and a document if you have one. A licensed attorney reads it and writes back by email. There is no charge and no account to create.
Best for: a question with a yes-or-no shape, or working out whether the thing in front of you is a problem at all.

An attorney review
You send the document and what you want to know. An attorney quotes a flat fee for the work, sends an engagement letter setting out what is and is not included, and you pay only after you have read and agreed to it. Then the written review comes back.
Best for: a document you are about to sign, or one that has already gone wrong.

What happens on the paid path, in order
You describe the matter and attach the document.
An attorney reads enough of it to price the work and sends you a quote.
An engagement letter follows, saying what the fee covers and what it does not. You read it before any card is charged.
You agree to the letter and pay the quoted fee.
The written review comes back to you, from the attorney who wrote it.
There is no retainer, no hourly billing and no charge before step four.
