🗺️

Handle It Yourself

For simpler matters, you may not need a lawyer at all. Your Charter gives you the roadmap. And if you need help with a specific task along the way — drafting a document, preparing for a hearing, reviewing a letter — we offer flat-fee unbundled services so you only pay for what you need.

🤝

Specialist Referral

If your matter needs specialized expertise, we connect you with a vetted attorney — and your Charter becomes your briefing document so you're not starting from scratch.

Most legal questions. Seriously.

Divorce & Custody Estate Planning DUI / DWI Criminal Defense Real Estate Contracts Business Formation Landlord-Tenant Employment Civil Disputes Small Claims Expungement

If your matter needs a specialist, we'll tell you — and help you find the right one.

Why Goodfolk exists.

Goodfolk Legal was founded by Minnesota attorney Jude Abeler on a simple premise: legal clarity shouldn't cost a fortune or take forever. Too many people face legal problems alone — not because help doesn't exist, but because it's too expensive, too slow, and too confusing.

We built Goodfolk to be the first call — a way to get real legal clarity for a fair price, fast. By combining AI tools with attorney oversight, we deliver work that used to take days and cost thousands, in hours and for $150.

Common questions

Free consultations are usually 15-minute sales pitches. You leave with a vague answer and a retainer to sign. This is actual legal work — research, analysis, and a written plan you own, whether you hire anyone afterward or not.
We use AI tools alongside Minnesota's legal databases to research faster and keep costs low. Every assessment is reviewed and signed off by a licensed attorney. The technology makes us faster — your attorney makes it reliable.
Your Project Charter will lay out your next steps and realistic cost estimates. If you want to hire us, we'll give you a separate flat-fee quote. If your matter needs a specialist, we'll connect you with one — and your Charter goes with you so you're not starting from scratch.
The Project Charter is a limited-scope engagement. We're your attorney for purposes of researching and assessing your situation only. Ongoing representation requires a separate written agreement.
If we haven't started work, yes. Once the assessment is underway, the fee is earned. You receive a written product regardless of the outcome of the analysis.
