Abstract

The legal industry’s importance in providing essential services is hindered by challenges such as high costs, geographic limitations, and inefficiencies in connecting individuals with suitable lawyers. In response, online legal platforms have emerged to enhance accessibility and affordability. This project introduces a web-based Lawyer-Client Matchmaking Platform to address these challenges, providing a streamlined and user-friendly system for connecting lawyers and clients. Connecting individuals with suitable lawyers is often inefficient and challenging. A need exists for a user-friendly platform to bridge this gap. The proposed solution involves a web-based platform where lawyers can showcase qualifications, and users can efficiently search, connect, and view detailed profiles. The Agile methodology is employed for software development, emphasizing flexibility and customer satisfaction. The platform is developed using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, PHP, and MySQL to create a dynamic system. This project focuses on enhancing access to legal services through a legal matchmaking. Utilizing modern technologies, it streamlines matchmakings with legal experts, making legal advice more convenient and accessible. The research contributes insights into online legal platforms, offering practical implications for the legal industry.
