The Problem

80% of potential clients don't hire a lawyer because they fear unknown costs. 'It depends' is the most common answer to pricing questions and the worst for conversion. Firms that provide fee estimates during consultation convert 3x more clients. Most attorneys can't quote accurately because they lack benchmarking data.

The Solution

Fee estimation tool that takes case details (type, complexity, jurisdiction) and generates market-based fee ranges using anonymized billing data — embeddable on firm websites for instant client self-service estimates.

Target Audience

Law firms wanting to differentiate with pricing transparency, solo practitioners competing against larger firms, and legal consumers shopping for representation who want to understand costs upfront

Consumer demand for pricing transparency reached law firms. Comparison shopping for legal services is now normal. ABA removed restrictions on fee advertising. Firms that show pricing online get 2x more website inquiries. Legal services are commoditizing — transparency wins.
