If you want to bring up privilege, privileged people have networks of friends that are also privileged, so the chance of having high powered lawyers (and doctors) friend is quite high. So "just check with a lawyer" becomes "let me email Jerry that I've known for 10 years". Jerry's not going to do a ton of work for free, but he could take 20 mins to read it over and say very directly in which ways you could get fucked over and advise either actually spending time on a lawyer if it's important, or advise against it, in ways a professional connection would not.
