"Justice For All"
A Global Initiative
Through extensive research and collaboration with local communities and Lawyers, we've developed an original and comprehensive approach to expanding legal access.
%
Around 92% of low-income Americans receive either no legal help or inadequate assistance for serious civil legal problems they face each year.
%
In a national survey, about 32% of Americans who did not seek legal help for a civil issue said cost was a reason they didn’t pursue it.
%
Other portions of the population assume incorrectly that they’re entitled to free legal representation in civil matters — 56% mistakenly believe they have the right to an attorney in civil cases.
Who Does This Help?
Openbar helps people who know they need legal help but don’t know where to start. These are individuals who may feel overwhelmed, intimidated, financially constrained, or unsure whether their issue is “serious enough” to contact a lawyer. We give them a structured, human-centered way to explain their situation, understand what kind of legal help they may need, and be connected to lawyers who choose to engage.
Why Should Lawyers Care?
Lawyers benefit because the platform filters, organizes, and contextualizes potential clients before first contact. Instead of cold calls, vague emails, or mismatched referrals, attorneys receive structured intake information that helps them quickly assess fit, urgency, and scope. This saves time, reduces burnout, and improves ethical screening. It also allows lawyers who care about access to justice, pro bono work, or community service to engage more efficiently — on their terms.
