About Illegal.id

Most people do not search a statute book when they wonder is it illegal to record this call or can my boss really read my email. They search the exact question. We built Illegal.id to answer those everyday legal questions in plain English: traffic and driving, workplace and employment, privacy and recording, consumer rights, and digital and internet law.

We are not a law firm. We are an educational and referral service that helps people understand general legal concepts across many everyday-life practice areas, and connects those who want it with independent, licensed attorneys in their state for a free, no-obligation case review.

We never give a definitive yes-it-is-illegal or no-it-is-not answer, because that genuinely depends on your state and the specific facts. What we can do is explain the general rules clearly, so you know the right questions to ask and when it is worth talking to a licensed attorney.
