1How does LekkerLaw match me with the right lawyer?
Think of LekkerLaw like a super-friendly legal matchmaker. We guide you through a short wizard, ask the right questions, and line up vetted firms that fit your story, location, and budget vibe.
- 📝 Share your story: Jot down the nutshell version of your legal issue or let the AI guess your practice area.
- 📍 Drop your location: Provinces and towns help us surface firms who actually work where you live.
- ✉️ Add your contact details: Just enough info so attorneys can say howzit directly.
- 🎉 Meet your matches: We rank the best fits so you can choose who to message first.
2What info do I need to share, and why?
We keep things short and sweet—just the essentials needed to introduce you properly to a lawyer.
- 🗣️ Your legal issue: A few sentences so our system and the AI know which practice area fits.
- 🗺️ Province & town: Helps us spotlight attorneys who actually service your neighbourhood.
- 👋 Contact details: A name, email, and optional phone number so your chosen firm can respond fast.
Behind the scenes we validate every field, tidy up funny characters, and send everything securely so nothing goes skew.
3What does the AI assistant actually do for me?
That cheeky “Let AI Analyse” button is your personal legal hype-squad. It reads your story, compares it to 13 practice areas, and suggests the best match so you don’t have to guess the fancy terminology.
- 🤖 Smart suggestions: Our Genkit flow chats to Google’s Gemini model and pops a practice area straight into the form.
- 🛠️ Still in control: If the suggestion isn’t quite right, simply change it—your choices always win.
- ⚡ Less stress: Nervous typers get a speed boost while we keep validation tight to block wild answers.
4How do my location details influence the matches?
Location matters because law firms only take matters where they’re registered and active. We make sure the ones you see actually serve your province—and ideally your city too.
- 🧭 Province filter: No point showing Joburg firms if you’re in George. We remove anything outside your chosen province.
- 🏙️ City bonus points: Firms who mention your town get a scoring boost, so locals bubble to the top.
- 🏆 Fair rankings: We blend subscription tier, practice fit, and responsiveness so you see quality options—not just the loudest advertiser.
5What happens after I hit “Send my details”?
Cue the confetti! We send your lead straight to the top-ranked firm and keep you in the loop with friendly toasts so you know it all landed safely.
- 🚀 Instant delivery: A secure email with your details goes out immediately and we log the hand-off.
- 📬 Live feedback: Buttons flip to “Details sent” and loaders stop double submissions.
- 🔁 Share with more firms: Want a second opinion? Fire off your info to other matches from the same list.
6Can I speak to more than one lawyer?
100%! Treat it like getting quotes from a few builders—chat to two or three firms, compare their vibe, and choose the champion that feels right.
Every card in the results list stays active after the first send, so you can share your details with more lawyers in a couple of taps.
7Is my personal information safe?
We guard your info like a favourite braai recipe. Only the basics are stored, everything’s encrypted, and access is limited to the team members who genuinely need it.
- 🔒 Secure pipeline: The wizard checks and sanitises every field before it travels through encrypted server actions.
- 🧹 Minimal data: We keep only what’s necessary to introduce you to a lawyer and honour our retention promises.
- 🛡️ POPIA-friendly: Internal controls and professional confidentiality rules keep snoops far away from your story.
8What if no matches appear or something goes wrong?
No stress! If the list ever looks empty or the internet goes sleepy, we give you helpful nudges instead of a blank page.
- 💡 Friendly tips: See suggestions to tweak your info or restart the wizard in one click.
- 🔁 Retry magic: We handle hiccups behind the scenes and let you try again without retyping everything.
- ✅ Form guardrails: Validation catches missing fields before you submit, saving you the “oops, start over” moment.
