Legal Help for Real People - No Law Degree Required
Exclusively for United States residents
LegalMind provides educational information only. We are NOT a law firm and do NOT provide legal advice.
We help you access and understand publicly available legal information that's already on the internet - we just centralize it and explain it in plain English.
Our AI can explain legal terms (jargon), procedures, and concepts in language you can understand. For example, "jurisdiction" means "which court has authority over your case."
Upload leases, contracts, court papers, or other legal documents and get plain-English summaries and explanations of what they mean.
Find relevant case law (past court rulings) from federal and state courts to see how similar situations were decided.
Create starting points for basic documents like demand letters, responses, or simple contracts. These are DRAFTS ONLY and need review.
We can direct you to free legal aid, court self-help centers, and official government resources for your situation.
We cannot tell you what you should do in your specific legal situation. Only a licensed attorney who knows your case details can do that.
We are not your lawyer and cannot appear in court for you, file documents on your behalf, or speak to judges or other parties for you.
AI can make mistakes (called "hallucinations"). You MUST verify all important information with official sources or a licensed attorney.
Our document generation creates DRAFTS ONLY. They are not guaranteed to meet court requirements and MUST be reviewed before filing.
For serious matters, complex cases, or situations involving large sums of money, you need a real lawyer - not an AI tool.
LegalMind is designed for everyday people in the United States who need help understanding legal information, not for attorneys or law firms.
Representing yourself ("pro se") in small claims court, family court, housing court, or other proceedings. We can help you understand procedures and find relevant case law.
Understanding your lease agreement, fighting unfair evictions, learning about tenant rights, dealing with security deposit disputes, or handling habitability issues.
Reading service contracts, understanding product warranties, knowing consumer protection laws, dealing with debt collectors, or resolving billing disputes.
Understanding employment contracts, wage and hour laws, workplace rights, wrongful termination basics, or non-compete agreements (contracts restricting future employment).
Basic contract review, understanding legal obligations, simple vendor agreements, or learning about business regulations. For complex matters, hire an attorney.
DIY divorce (uncontested), custody agreement basics, child support calculation, or understanding restraining order procedures (where self-help is allowed by your court).
Understanding debt collection laws (FDCPA), knowing your rights when sued by creditors, learning bankruptcy basics, or dealing with wage garnishment (court-ordered payment deduction).
Anyone who wants to understand their legal rights, learn how the court system works, or research legal topics for personal knowledge and empowerment.
US-Only: LegalMind is exclusively for United States residents. Legal systems vary dramatically between countries, and our information only applies to U.S. federal and state laws.
⚠️ LegalMind is a self-help tool. For the situations below, you NEED a real lawyer:
If you're charged with any crime - even a misdemeanor (minor crime) - you need a lawyer immediately. Your freedom is at stake. If you can't afford one, you may qualify for a public defender (free court-appointed attorney).
Contested custody battles, complicated property division, domestic violence situations, international child abduction cases, or cases involving special needs children require an attorney.
Car accidents with injuries, medical malpractice (doctor errors), slip-and-fall with significant injuries, or workplace accidents need a lawyer. Many work on contingency (they only get paid if you win).
Lawsuits involving your business, partnership disputes, business contract breaches, intellectual property (trademarks, patents) disputes, or employment lawsuits require professional representation.
If more than $10,000-$25,000 is at stake (varies by jurisdiction), the cost of hiring a lawyer is usually worth it to protect your interests.
If you don't understand what's happening in your case, feel overwhelmed by the legal process, or your opponent has a lawyer, you should consult an attorney.
Deportation defense, asylum applications, complicated visa issues, or citizenship applications should be handled by an immigration attorney. Mistakes can have life-changing consequences.
Large estates, complex family situations, special needs trusts, business succession planning, or tax implications require an estate planning attorney.

Our AI Legal Assistant can answer questions about legal topics, explain concepts in plain English, and help you understand your situation. It uses advanced AI models (Claude Sonnet 4.5 and GPT-5.1) and can search the internet for the latest information.
⚠️ Remember: This provides information, NOT legal advice for your specific situation.
Click "AI Chat" in the top navigation menu or click "Start Research" on the homepage.
At the top, you'll see a dropdown menu with two options:
You'll see a "Web Search Enabled" badge. This means the AI will search the internet for current legal information to answer your questions.

On the right side, you'll see "Citations" - these are the sources the AI used. Click them to verify the information!
AI can make mistakes called "hallucinations" where it confidently states incorrect information. ALWAYS verify important details with official sources, court websites, or a licensed attorney before relying on them.
