More About Us

About Our Forum

LegalBeagles was founded in 2007 as a safe website to seek legal help from a trusted community. We have grown over the years to reach millions of users and now have a membership of over 140k people and nearly 1 million legal Q&A’s.

The forum has a team of around 40 volunteer helpers who answer the many questions posed anonymously every day. We cover every legal area except criminal law and we have developed a reputation for kindness, wisdom and sharing of knowledge to empower consumers to better navigate their legal problems.

LegalBeagles is now working towards harnessing our anonymised forum data to learn more about consumer needs and how technology will change the face of the legal industry in coming years. The team is focused on building upon our fantastic community to learn more about access to justice and new technologies which will inevitably solve this issue in the future.
