Legal Cost Scope Checker FAQs

Does the Legal4U cost scope checker give a quote?

No. It helps identify information that can affect scope and fees. Any quote, fee estimate or fixed-fee offer must come from the professional or firm.

Why do documents and deadlines affect legal costs?

Urgency, document volume, hearing dates and the work requested often affect whether a task can be scoped as fixed-fee work or needs further review.

Can I still submit an enquiry if my score is low?

Yes. Explain what you know and say which details are missing. Legal4U can still capture the enquiry for review where appropriate.
