One Legal offers a mix of flat-priced services and variable-priced services.
Some services have a single fixed price.
Other services involve physical delivery of printed documents and have a starting price, with the final price varying based on the details of the order.
This page explains the difference and how pricing works.
Flat-Priced Services
The following One Legal services have a fixed price that does not vary by location, service level, or page count.
eFiling (Electronic Court Filing)
$25 per filing — for self-represented parties
(also known as pro se, pro per, or unrepresented litigants)
$17.95 per filing — for law firms, legal professionals, and all filers who are not self-represented
eService (Electronic Service)
$1 per recipient, up to a $10 maximum per order
eService is electronic notification of documents to other parties after a filing.
It is not physical service of process.
Person / Business Locator
$25 per successful search
No charge if the search does not return results
This is an instant skip-trace service.
Concierge
Typically $75 per request
Concierge pricing is usually fixed, but may vary for unusually large or complex requests.
Any variation is discussed and agreed with the customer in advance.
Variable-Priced Services (Physical Delivery)
All other One Legal services involve physical delivery of printed documents to real locations and have variable pricing.
Each of these services has a base / starting price that applies only in specific circumstances (for example: standard service level, under 50 pages, and an urban location).
The final price depends on three factors:
-
Service level selected
- Rush service adds $90
-
Number of pages, based on these bands:
- Up to 49 pages: no additional charge
- 50–99 pages: + $10
- 100–249 pages: + $25
- 250–499 pages: + $50
- 500–999 pages: + $100
- 1000+ pages: + $150
-
Location of the service
- Pricing varies by zone based on distance and rurality
- There are 15 zones
- Most locations fall into Zone 1 (no additional charge), but this varies
Because of these factors, the final price must be calculated for each order. A pricing calculator is available at www.onelegal.com/pricing, where you can enter service level, page count, and location to see an accurate price.
