About Legal Tools
Legal information that actually helps people.
We built Legal Tools because the legal system is confusing by design, and most people can't afford to call an attorney every time they have a question. 260+ free tools, no paywalls, no signup forms.
Why we built this
A mesothelioma diagnosis, a DUI arrest, a sudden divorce - legal problems don't wait for convenient times. And the first thing most people do is search Google, where they find either lawyer marketing pages or vague government documents that don't actually answer their question.
We wanted something in between: tools that give you a real answer in 2 minutes, help you understand what you're dealing with, and connect you with a qualified attorney when you need one.
Every tool on this site is free. Always. We don't charge per use, require an account, or hide results behind a paywall. Law is already expensive enough.
How tools are built
Each tool goes through a consistent build process. We identify the core legal question someone is trying to answer, map the relevant statutes, rules, or case law, then design a flow that delivers a useful answer without requiring a law degree to follow.
Calculators
Tools like the child support calculator and Chapter 7 means test calculator use actual state formulas and federal guidelines. The math is based on the same sources attorneys use. We cite where the formulas come from, and we update them when the law changes.
Case screeners
Screeners like the mesothelioma case evaluator and wrongful termination screener ask the same questions an intake coordinator at a law firm would ask. The scoring logic is built around the actual eligibility criteria courts and agencies use.
Document builders
Tools like the NDA generator and lease agreement builder produce draft documents based on widely accepted legal standards. They're starting points, not final documents. We're explicit about that.
Editorial standards
Every page on this site follows the same standards.
Sources come first
Tool logic is based on statutes, regulations, court rules, or agency guidelines - not assumptions. When we cite a formula or legal standard, we link to the primary source.
Jurisdiction matters
U.S. law varies dramatically by state. Tools that depend on state law include state-specific inputs. We don't give a generic national answer when a state answer is what you actually need.
Limitations are stated clearly
These tools provide legal information, not legal advice. That distinction is real and important. A calculator can tell you the likely range of a divorce settlement. It can't know every fact about your case. We say that on every tool page because it's true.
We update when law changes
Laws change. Sentencing guidelines, exemption amounts, visa fees, and statute of limitations periods all get updated. We track changes across all 12 practice areas and update tool logic when something material shifts.
Who is behind Legal Tools
Legal Tools is published by the team at RXTools Pro, a group focused on building practical information tools for high-stakes decisions. The legal tools site launched in 2026 and covers every major area of U.S. law.
Content is reviewed against primary legal sources including U.S. Code, the Code of Federal Regulations, state statutes, and court rules. For practice-specific content, we cross-reference secondary sources including the American Bar Association, Nolo, and official government agency guidance.
We're based in the United States. Questions, corrections, and partnership inquiries can reach us at legaltools@rxtoolspro.com.
