As a seemingly limitless source of information, it’s hardly surprising that many of us search the internet for advice about our personal conundrums. But when it comes to gathering legal advice online, it can get difficult to get proper guidance. Aside from the nuances of Philippine law, there are also the rampant misinterpretations of common legal issues that just add unnecessary confusion to the mix.

The lack of access—physical or online—to a lawyer also compounds the issue, especially for Filipinos working overseas. LexMeet (lexmeet.com), a relatively new legal tech startup, seeks to address all these concerns by making online legal consultations as accessible as possible for Filipinos everywhere without breaking the bank.

Using the Web app of LexMeet (a wordplay on the Latin word for “law” and workplace verbatim for setting office meetings) couldn’t be any simpler. After purchasing credits—for as low as P500— on the app, you can initiate a consultation request where LexMeet will match you with a lawyer that meets your requirements.
