How It Works

Three steps. No pressure.

Start a conversation

Tap Let's chat! and message us on Telegram. Tell us what's going on in your own words. We respond as soon as we can.

We figure it out together

A licensed attorney reviews your situation, researches the applicable law, and tells you where you stand — for free.

Hire us only if you want to

If your matter needs legal work, we'll give you a clear quote for exactly what you need. No hidden billing, no runaround. If you don't need us, you just walk away knowing more.

Why Free?

Because the first conversation shouldn't cost anything.

Traditional legal consultations cost hundreds of dollars and usually leave you more confused than when you started. We think that's backwards. The hardest part of a legal problem is figuring out whether you even have one — and nobody should pay just to find out.

So we don't charge for the conversation. We only charge for the actual work, and only if you decide to hire us. That's how we believe legal help should work.

Our Story

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 — unmatched access to a licensed attorney, on your schedule, at no cost to start.

Questions

Common questions

Yes. The conversation is free. If your matter needs legal work and you want to hire us, we'll give you a clear quote before starting anything. You're never billed for the chat itself.

Telegram lets us have a real conversation on your schedule — you message when it's convenient, we respond when we can. It's private, works on every device, and keeps everything documented for your records.

Yes. We treat every conversation as confidential from the start. Minnesota law protects information shared with an attorney in the course of seeking legal help, even before any engagement is signed. Full attorney-client privilege kicks in once we complete a conflict check and formalize representation.

As soon as we can. We check messages throughout the day and respond in batches. For urgent matters, let us know upfront.

We use AI tools alongside Minnesota's legal databases to research faster and keep costs low. Every answer is reviewed and signed off by a licensed attorney. The technology makes us faster — your attorney makes it reliable.

It depends on the matter. After our conversation, we'll give you a clear quote based on scope. You decide if it's worth it before anything begins — no surprises.
