Legal clarity without the courthouse maze
Search a summons code, understand the legal elements, generate a FOIL request, and save notes locally — without hunting across six agency websites. B-Legal is legal information and workflow support, not legal advice.
Start with a code, summons, or legal term instead of opening ten tabs and guessing.
Get the issue translated into plain language with procedural context and likely next questions.
Move into FOIL, court prep, or encrypted local notes when you are ready to act.
Built for legal information workflows, WCAG-conscious interaction, mobile tap targets, and clear next-step decisions.

Your workflow
Every tool on B-Legal maps to one of these decision points.
Summons Intelligence
A-Summons through ECB — violation records, fine ranges, defenses, deadlines, and how to contest. Educational content only. Always verify with the issuing agency and a licensed attorney.
The Platform
Search, understand, generate, save. Each tool is built around a specific decision point so you move forward instead of circling back.
Search summons codes, statutes, legal terms, and procedural references across the entire B-Legal knowledge base.
Decode summons types, deadlines, defenses, and next steps across A, B, C, OATH, TAB, and ECB categories.
Create structured public-record requests without formatting everything from scratch.
Keep documents, notes, and action items organized locally so your case file stays usable.
Track critical dates and review work-hour math when wage, shift, or schedule obligations come up.
Find courts, agencies, and legal support locations with fewer dead ends.
No live attorney access today. Join the waitlist. Talk to Lawyer is being built carefully and will launch with clear expectations.
Security and privacy
Legal notes should not live where administrators, advertisers, or third parties can read them. B-Legal is designed around that premise.
B-Legal is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship through product use, waitlists, or intake forms.
If you need emergency help or advice tailored to your exact facts, contact a licensed attorney directly.

| Comparison point | B-Legal | Google search | Calling a lawyer cold | Court or agency websites |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What happens first | You start with the exact tool for the problem in front of you. | You sort through mixed-quality results and ads. | You explain the entire situation cold before knowing cost or fit. | You jump across disconnected agency pages and PDFs. |
| Plain-English clarity | Structured explanations built for non-lawyers. | Often fragmented or generic. | Varies by availability and budget. | Often written for insiders. |
| Workflow support | Search, notes, FOIL, storage, and prep in one flow. | No built-in case workflow. | Usually starts after intake and payment. | Forms and rules without orchestration. |
| Cost certainty | Clear product tiers up front. | Free search, expensive mistakes. | Consultation cost often unknown at first contact. | Free access, high time cost. |

Talk to Lawyer
We do not imply live lawyer access exists today. People who need help can join the client waitlist, and attorneys can join the network intake — but no attorney-client relationship is created by any of these forms.
Talk to Lawyer is not live. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee attorney availability and does not create representation or an attorney-client relationship.
Join Client WaitlistLicensed attorneys can send a lightweight intake before completing the full application.
Submitting this intake does not create an attorney-client relationship, employment relationship, or platform approval.
Questions people ask before they trust you
No. B-Legal is a legal information and workflow platform. It does not create an attorney-client relationship and it does not replace a licensed attorney.
Not through the product today. Talk to Lawyer is clearly marked Coming Soon. You can join the lawyer or client intake lists, but no live lawyer access is currently promised or available.
Sensitive private notes are designed to stay local-first, encrypted on your device when supported. Cloud sync happens only when you choose to upload or sync content.
Private legal notes and document contents are not intended to be visible to admins by default. Product administration does not expose privileged strategy or personal case notes in ordinary operations.
Start free if you want to explore. Upgrade only when the workflow saves you real time, stress, or mistakes.
