About legal-lead.com
legal-lead.com is a navigation site about the legal questions everyday people actually have. We're not a law firm; we don't provide legal advice. We aim to be the version of an internet legal resource that answers the actual question first and recommends a professional only when one is really needed.
What this site is
Situation-led plain-English guides for common legal questions: what to do after a car accident, how to read an eviction notice, whether a firing was actually wrongful, what makes a prenup enforceable, how to find an open class action settlement you may qualify for. Every guide cites primary sources — federal statutes, EEOC and HUD consumer guidance, state court self-help portals, the Uniform Law Commission, and others — so readers can verify what they read.
What this site is not
- Not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice.
- Not a directory of "best lawyers." Other sites do that.
- Not a substitute for an attorney when your situation actually needs one.
- Not anonymous — we publish under our editorial-team byline and stand behind every page.
How we plan to make money
We are not currently running affiliate links, sponsored placements, or paid recommendations of any kind. The site is in its earliest phase: we're building a reader base, earning the trust to be worth recommending, and demonstrating to search engines that the content here is original and source-cited.
Once the site is established and ranking, we plan to add affiliate links to legitimate
legal services — attorney networks for consumers who actually need an attorney, document
services for routine forms, and similar. Every affiliate link will be disclosed in line on
the page where it appears, per
FTC guidelines,
and the underlying HTML will carry the appropriate rel="sponsored" attribute.
Until then, every external link on this site goes to a primary source (a government page,
a court self-help portal, an academic legal reference) and earns us nothing.
See our current affiliate disclosure page for the live status.
How we choose what to write about
- Real people search for it. Every guide started as a question people actually ask search engines.
- The good answer is short and accessible. Some legal questions are genuinely complex; for those, the honest answer is "talk to a lawyer," and we say so.
- There's no good plain-English version online yet. When a state bar or government agency has already published a great consumer page, we link to it rather than duplicate it.
Our editorial principles
Three commitments we hold ourselves to:
- Every factual claim is sourced or removed. If we can't cite an authoritative source — a federal agency, a court system, a statute, a peer-reviewed publication — we don't make the claim.
- We do not invent statistics, quotes, case studies, or "leaked research" sources. If we don't have it, we don't publish it.
- When we get something wrong, we say so on the page and fix it. Corrections are documented with the "last updated" date.
