How it works
How ClearRecourse.com works
What you can do on this site: open a guide, write your own notes, and bring them to a government office or a lawyer you choose. ClearRecourse.com is not a law firm.
What this site offers
Plain-language guides and note prompts for four kinds of problems: pay, injuries at work, harm from a drug or product, and debt collectors.
There are no forms, quizzes, uploads, phone lines, or chat here. This site doesn’t connect anyone with a law firm.
What ClearRecourse.com doesn’t do
- It doesn’t give legal advice or say what the law requires.
- It doesn’t decide eligibility, deadlines, conflicts, or representation. A participating attorney does.
- It doesn’t promise a result.
- It never charges you.
- Submitting information does not create an attorney-client relationship.
How a connection is designed to work
ClearRecourse.com is a marketing and connection service. These steps are not offered on this site. They describe the design, so you know what ClearRecourse.com is and isn’t.
-
Where it happened
You’d say where it happened. A law firm is shown only if one takes part for that area and that kind of problem.
-
Your choice
You’d choose whether to ask that firm to hear about your situation. You could stop at any step.
-
The firm’s decision
A person may confirm details and timing with you; that person isn’t a lawyer and doesn’t give legal advice. A lawyer at the firm decides whether the firm can help.
Before any information is requested, what’s collected, how it’s used, the firm involved, and how you’d be contacted will need clear, reviewed disclosures.
Other places to start
- Pay: your state labor office or the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (both on dol.gov).
- An injury at work: your state’s workers’ comp office (listed on dol.gov).
- A medicine, device, or product: FDA MedWatch or SaferProducts.gov.
- Debt collectors or credit reports: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (consumerfinance.gov).
You can also talk to a lawyer of your choice.
