For consumers

Finally clarity on letters nobody understands.

From dunning notice to rental contract — Smart Legal Pro explains, tracks deadlines and drafts a reply. A lawyer can take over on request.

Most people receive two or three letters a year they cannot make sense of: a payment reminder for an amount they do not recall, a utility bill with an unexpected balance, a fine with a deadline that is already running. The problem is rarely the law itself — it is not knowing whether you have to respond, and by when.

Smart Legal Pro takes that first step for you. Upload the letter as a PDF or a photo, and the AI explains in plain language what it is about, which deadline applies and what your options are. Where a reply makes sense, it drafts one for you to download and send.

What the platform deliberately does not do: replace a lawyer. Where something is genuinely at stake, it says so — and hands your matter to a vetted law firm on request, with all documents and the assessment so far.

What you can actually get done

Seven things the platform can do today — each without an appointment, an advance payment or any legal background.

  1. Instant assessment

    Upload a PDF or photo — the AI summarises what really matters.

  2. Deadlines auto-detected

    We highlight the date by which you have to respond before fees pile up.

  3. One-click reply

    Polite, factual, legally sound — tailored to your tone.

  4. Lawyer back-up

    On real risks we hand your case to a verified firm — with documents, facts and an AI pre-review.

  5. Never pay for the same document twice

    Upload the same letter a second time by mistake — we recognise the content by checksum and offer the document already on file, with its existing analysis, instead of charging you again.

  6. Supported in court, too

    If your case escalates into a proceeding, the litigation companion walks you through the claim or defence — court-ready filings, checked citations, deadlines kept.

  7. Even by phone

    Instead of typing, just tell Lexi or Lex what's going on — the AI listens, asks targeted follow-ups and sums up what to do at the end.

  • Legal questions without a document
  • Chat with follow-ups in the matter
  • Analysis, exports, lawyer handover
  • Writing assistant & templates
You do not need to know the legal name for the letter. You only need to know that ignoring it is not an option.
The most common reason deadlines pass is not carelessness — it is uncertainty.
Analyse a document

Upload it, and know within a minute what it is about

The analysis reads the whole document, summarises what matters and highlights the passages that count: the amount claimed, the sender, the legal basis and above all the deadline. You see the price of every action beforehand — there is no subscription running in the background.

Triage

Even when all you have is your phone

A photo of the letter is enough. The platform reads the text even from a crooked snapshot, assigns your matter to a topic and suggests the next step. If you would rather talk than type, you can describe the matter in a voice conversation instead.

Limitation periods

How much time you have left

Most claims become time-barred three years after the end of the year in which they arose. The claim does not disappear, but the other side may refuse payment permanently. Pick the year your claim arose and you will see straight away how much time is left.

Limitation period check

Standard limitation period under Secs. 195, 199 German Civil Code — no account, no credits, right here.

In which year did the claim arise?
End of the standard limitation period

31 December 2026

Time remaining — 100 days left

A claim arising in 2023 becomes time-barred at the end of 31 December of the third following year: three years under Sec. 195 German Civil Code, starting only at the end of the year in which it arose (Sec. 199(1)).

What this check does not cover

  • Special provisions with shorter periods — such as Sec. 438 (sales law) or Sec. 548 German Civil Code (tenancy law), sometimes only six months.
  • The absolute long-stop periods under Sec. 199(3) and (4) German Civil Code, which apply regardless of knowledge.
  • Suspension of the limitation period, for instance by filing a claim or a payment order (Sec. 204 German Civil Code), which can push the deadline back considerably.
