Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our free legal tools, data accuracy, privacy, and how to use our calculators.
Made For Law provides public calculators, guides, and SaaS tools for law firms that want calculator-based intake on their own websites. The answers below explain how the product works, what information the calculators use, how firm accounts are billed, and where to go when you need help. They are not legal advice and should not be used as a substitute for an attorney's review of your facts.

For public calculator users
Use the general and data answers to understand what an estimate can and cannot tell you. A calculator can help you prepare questions, compare scenarios, and spot inputs that matter, but it cannot decide strategy, court procedure, or whether a local exception applies to your situation.
For attorneys and firm staff
Use the pricing, integrations, data, and privacy answers before installing a calculator on a firm website. They cover account access, domain licensing, lead routing, export behavior, and the product boundaries your intake team should understand before sending calculator results to a prospective client.
For technical setup
If you are troubleshooting an embed, pair this FAQ with the documentation. Most setup issues come from script placement, domain authorization, old cache, blocked third-party scripts, or a mismatch between portal settings and the page where the calculator is installed.
Product answers, not legal advice
Made For Law works to keep calculator logic and public reference material current, but laws, fees, court practices, and local filing requirements can change. Some calculators use state-level rules, some use county inputs, and some provide planning ranges where no single statutory formula exists. Read the result notes and use the linked guide or state page for more context.
If your matter involves a deadline, contested facts, unusual assets, minor children, immigration status, criminal exposure, bankruptcy, tax consequences, or a court order, ask a qualified attorney before relying on an estimate. If your question is about Made For Law itself, contact support with the page URL, calculator name, state, and the inputs needed to reproduce the issue.
