We built the tool we wished existed when facing a legal situation without knowing what it would cost.
Legal costs are one of the most opaque expenses in American life. When you're facing a divorce, a DUI, an estate planning decision, or a business formation, you shouldn't have to call three attorneys just to get a ballpark number. The existing resources are either vague, buried behind lead-generation forms that hand your information to law firms, or produced by the very services trying to sell you something.
FreeLegalIQ exists to change that. We built plain-language calculators that give you real cost estimates based on your state, your situation, and your choices — with no email required, no sales pitch, and no data sold to attorneys or legal services companies. You use the tool, get your answer, and walk away informed.
FreeLegalIQ displays Google AdSense advertisements. These are standard display ads — not attorney lead forms, not affiliate links to specific legal services. The ads shown are based on your browser's ad settings and are managed entirely by Google. We do not share your personal information to serve ads.
This advertising model lets us offer all calculators permanently free with no paywalls, no required email sign-ups, and no subscription fees. Ever.
FreeLegalIQ currently offers 10 free legal cost calculators covering the situations people search for most. Each calculator was built from a combination of court filing fee schedules, state-published data, U.S. government agency fee charts, and industry surveys of attorney billing rates.
FreeLegalIQ's calculators provide estimates only. They are educational tools designed to help you understand the range of costs you might face — not substitutes for professional legal advice. Actual legal costs vary significantly based on your specific circumstances, the complexity of your case, the attorneys you choose, and the jurisdiction where your matter is filed.
Before making any legal decision, consult with a licensed attorney in your state. Nothing on this site creates an attorney-client relationship, and no content on FreeLegalIQ should be construed as legal advice. For immigration matters specifically, consult a licensed immigration attorney or a Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) accredited representative.
We update our data regularly, but court fees, attorney rates, and legal requirements change. Always verify costs with your court, your attorney, or the relevant government agency before making financial decisions.
