Grammar fix
legal advice
advice about the law
help or information given by a lawyer or expert about what you should do in a legal situation.
Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
If you're not sure what to do, it's best to get legal advice before signing the contract.
In my opinion, people should always seek legal advice when dealing with important documents, because it can prevent serious problems later.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: I need a legal advice.
Say: I need some legal advice.
'Advice' is uncountable — 'some legal advice' or 'a piece of legal advice', never 'a legal advice'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Get legal advice' is natural; 'procure professional counsel of a legal nature' is absurd.
