Upload a contract and get it read for the terms that carry risk. Nothing is shared with anyone unless you ask for a lawyer.
What you get back
This is an example, on an ordinary residential lease. It is not a real client’s document and nothing in it is advice about yours.
High risk overall
A standard-looking lease with two terms that are unusually one-sided: every repair falls on the tenant, and the lease renews itself for another full year unless notice is given three months ahead.
Reviewing as: the tenant.
Section 9
Section 9 shifts every repair to the tenant with no dollar cap, including the heating and air conditioning and the water heater. In most residential leases the landlord keeps the major systems.
Suggested change: Ask for the landlord to keep responsibility for major systems, or for a cap on what you can be charged in a year.
Section 3
Section 3 renews the term automatically. Miss the ninety-day window and you owe another full year of rent, whether or not you are still living there.
Suggested change: Ask for a month-to-month period after the first year, or for the notice window to shorten to thirty days.
Section 12
A flat charge on the first day plus a daily amount after that, with nothing in the lease stopping it. On a long dispute the fee can outgrow the rent it is attached to.
Suggested change: Ask for the late fee to be capped at a percentage of one month of rent.
Section 24
Section 24 waives the right to a jury in any dispute arising from the lease. This is common in commercial leases and much less so in residential ones.
Section 21
Notice is effective when posted at the property, so a notice you never saw still counts. Worth knowing if you travel.
Without one, a disagreement at the end of the tenancy about what was already damaged has nothing to settle it.
Legal documents are dense on purpose. The review says what each part actually means for you.
Not a description of the document. It points at the terms that are unusual, one-sided or expensive if things go wrong.
Every finding names the section it came from, so you can find it and talk about it.
What is normal here? What should I ask them to change? The conversation stays with the document.

How it works
Step 1
A PDF, DOC or DOCX up to 20 MB. Any standard legal document, from any US state. A scan with no text in it cannot be read, and you will be told that rather than handed an empty review.
Step 2
Key terms, what you would be agreeing to, and anything unusual or one-sided, ranked by how much it matters.
Step 3
Dig into any finding in the same window. Then print it or save a PDF to take into the negotiation.
If something in the review worries you, ask. A GO LAW attorney picks up your document with the analysis already attached, quotes a flat fee for the work, and sends you an engagement letter before anything is charged. No starting over and no explaining it twice.
Attorney review
Real money at stake, the other side has counsel, or something in the document is bothering you. A licensed attorney at GO LAW can take it from here.
1. You ask
Describe the work. An attorney at GO LAW quotes a flat fee for it.
2. You read the terms
An engagement letter, in writing, before anything is charged.
3. You decide
You pay after you have agreed to the letter, and not before.
4. You get an answer
The attorney answers you in writing, on the document you already have.
Good to know
GO Review is a strong first pass. These are the situations where a lawyer should be reading it too.
Questions
Yes. Uploading a document and reading the analysis cost nothing, with no account and no subscription. Attorney review is an optional paid add-on.
PDF, DOC and DOCX, up to 20 MB. A scan with no text layer cannot be read, and the upload will tell you so rather than returning an empty review.
Any written legal document: leases, employment contracts, NDAs, vendor agreements, settlement agreements, partnership agreements, purchase agreements, terms of service, and more.
GO LAW's drafting and review tools use AI and do not replace legal advice. No attorney reviews a document unless you request paid attorney review.
Your upload is stored against your own session and is not shown to anyone else. It goes to an attorney only when you ask for a review, and you see the price before that happens.
You can upload a document from any US state. How a particular clause is read or enforced varies by jurisdiction, which is one more reason attorney review is worth it on a document that matters.
