What is the estimated length of the document that you're looking for, and what industry? (I assume hosting, but just want to confirm)
In most countries these are called "attorneys" or "lawyers" or "solicitors". Why are you looking for one on LET of all places?
LowEndLawyers
Bit off topic here, but is it legally ok to take someone elses TOS and modify it heavily to your services needs?
I know this is looked down upon but I'm curious. I also understand not everyone here is a lawyer so I don't expect a definite answer and will take any advice as just that advice,

Thanks @Stevie, good to know!
LowEndLawyers for $7 an hour?
Kind of, there are boiler plate ones out there you can lift that cover the legal stuff, like liability, look at similar services for inspiration and extra clauses.
We've had a solicitor go through our own ToS's purely because he's a close friend of my colleague, so it wasn't a costly exercise.
If you're serious about your business or have a good budget, it's something you should definitely allocate even just an hour of their time.
There are some under a creative commons license, e.g. Ghost Terms which was edited from WordPress Terms. You may be able to find one relevant to your industry
Haha!
That's what I'm asking for, these so called attorneys are only good for preparing official legal documents, I need someone who does specifically this for web hosting services.
@Ali1: suggest you Google for "hosting tos template".
If you want to to get it done by a professional, get in touch with David Snead, he is very familiar with the industry. Expect to shell out some heavy cash though.
Alternative, try rocketlawyer.
That is completely ridiculous and untrue.
You want a ToS that's unofficial and/or not legal? A business should always have an attorney prepare and/or review their agreements, contracts, etc.
I think you misunderstood my post. I'm looking for a lawyer that understands and works with hosting providers, not just a legal terms of service writing lawyer.
This is an easy anwser if your trying to go professional @Ali1

David knows what he is doing and is a cool guy to work with. He will get the job done for you to your expect specifications and knows the industry. Just look at his client list for a quick reference and you'll see
