With Legal Locate, Clients Explain Their Legal Matter Once Instead of Starting Over With Every Firm
Anyone who has contacted several businesses for the same service knows how frustrating it can be to repeat the same information over and over. When the subject is a legal problem, that repetition can be even more exhausting. Legal Locate offers a simpler approach: describe the matter once and allow qualified attorneys to review it.
The platform uses a guided Case Building Wizard to collect the information an attorney may need when considering a potential case.
Covering 14 practice areas, the wizard creates a structured case summary from the client’s answers. Rather than searching through general directories and reaching out to law firms individually, the user has one central place to begin the search.
Bar-verified attorneys can review the case and submit non-binding estimated offers.
Clients can compare the attorneys’ credentials and approaches alongside estimates based on flat, hourly or contingency fee models. Real-time alerts let users know as new offers arrive, so they can return to the app when there is something new to review.
Legal Locate also helps explain the process. Its educational features cover common fee structures and what clients can expect when hiring counsel, adding useful context for people who may never have hired an attorney before.
Another major advantage is that submitting a case does not mean surrendering control over communication.
Users can stay anonymous until they decide they are ready to move forward, and there are no cold calls. The client chooses whom they want to contact.
Attorneys also benefit from receiving a structured summary rather than starting every potential conversation from scratch. Matters are matched to attorneys based on areas of interest and licensed jurisdictions, giving them a quicker way to decide whether an opportunity is relevant.
Legal Locate takes a part of the legal search that can be repetitive and stressful and makes it far more efficient. For clients, explaining the situation once and then comparing potential attorneys in one place is a simple idea, but it can make the entire search feel much more manageable.
