What it means

Common questions
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. PlainLetter gives a plain-English explanation for informational purposes only. Always confirm anything important directly with the agency or a licensed professional.
Is my letter stored anywhere?
No. Your document is used only to generate your explanation and is not kept afterward.
Why isn't there a free trial?
Instead of a free trial, the example above shows you exactly what a real explanation looks like before you pay anything.
What if my letter isn't supported?
You won't be charged. We check your letter first, for free, and only ask for payment if it's something we can actually help with.
