Frequently asked questions

Short answers for people who need a lawyer and for lawyers.

For people who need a lawyer

Do I need an account to tell my case?

No. You tell it for free, with no sign-up; signing in is only to save it.

Is the assistant a lawyer?

No. It is an AI, it identifies itself as an AI and it does not give legal advice.

Who sees my case?

Lawyers of the area and your city, who see only your first name and the initial of your last name until you choose one of them.

Do I need to know the legal area of my case?

No. Tell us what happened; the assistant organizes it.

Can I tell my case by audio?

Yes, in Portuguese. Record up to 3 minutes of audio or talk to the assistant by voice; your story becomes text and you check it before moving on.

Who chooses the lawyer?

You do. The case goes to lawyers of the area and your city, and you choose who to talk to, in a private conversation.

Can I delete my data?

Yes, whenever you want, in your account.

I already have a court case. Can I use Legalocal?

Yes. Enter the number in the intake and its progress goes into your dossier, or use the public lookup, free and without signing in.

Who gets my contact details?

Only the lawyer you choose.

Does Legalocal tell me how my case will end?

No. You get a summary of the case's possibilities in plain language; Legalocal does not promise an outcome.

Can I get more than one proposal?

Yes. Send the dossier to several lawyers of the area and the city and compare up to 3 proposals; you are the one who chooses.

Which languages can I use?

Portuguese, English or Spanish.

For lawyers

How does a lawyer join Legalocal?

By setting up the public page; the bar registration and the face are checked.

Do I have to put prices on the public page?

No. Areas and services appear with no prices, as the Brazilian Bar (OAB) requires; your fee schedule is only for your proposals.

Does the agent send anything on its own?

No. Nothing goes out without your approval, and everything is recorded in an audit log.

Where do the court notices come from?

Every day at 6 a.m., the platform reads your court notices by your bar registration number; the deadline is calculated when the text states the number of days, and the official check is yours.

Can I work with my team?

Yes. Invite people from your office with permissions to see cases, approve, sign and handle the finances.

Can I bring clients I already have?

Yes. Open the case and send the client a link, or tell the case, answer the technical questions and it starts with a draft.

How do I get new cases?

Cases from your area and your judicial district reach you, and you decide whether to send a proposal; the proposal is yours, negotiated directly with the client.
