St. Louis, MO (USANews)– Legal Buddy LLC, a Missouri-based legal tech startup, has officially launched the Legal Buddy App, a mobile-first platform that provides instant legal guidance for students and young adults. Designed to offer fast, judgment-free assistance, the app connects users with local attorneys in real time—especially during unexpected legal situations like traffic stops, altercations, or citations.
The Legal Buddy App bridges the gap between young people and accessible legal support. Unlike traditional legal directories or expensive retainers, Legal Buddy simplifies the process to a single tap—helping users find real-time guidance without the confusion or cost typically associated with the legal system.
“Legal Buddy isn’t replacing attorneys—we’re just making them easier to reach when young people need them the most,” said Chris Heeb, Co-Founder of Legal Buddy App. “This app exists for the moment your hands are shaking, your heart’s racing, and you don’t know what to do.”
Lenny Kagan, a lifelong St. Louis resident and creator of the Legal Buddy App, envisioned the platform as a way to give back to the community and build a more supportive system for young people facing legal challenges. “I wanted to create something that genuinely helps students make better decisions and have access to real legal support—without judgment,” said Kagan.
Informed by his personal journey, Kagan’s goal with Legal Buddy is to promote legal empowerment for young adults and make a lasting, positive contribution to both St. Louis and communities nationwide.
Key Features of the Legal Buddy App:
One-tap access to local, verified attorneys
No subscriptions, paperwork, or delayed callbacks
Friendly, judgment-free interface designed for emergencies
Immediate access to legal guidance for students and young professionals
Exclusive attorney territories to ensure quality representation
As part of its Fall 2025 expansion, Legal Buddy is launching its College Ambassador Program, empowering student leaders to promote legal literacy, app downloads, and safe decision-making on campuses across the country. The app also features Buddy, a golden retriever mascot symbolizing trust, support, and reliability.
“We’re all about prevention and protection—helping students before things spiral out of control,” added Bill Potthoff, Co-Founder of Legal Buddy.
With a bold vision to reshape how the next generation connects with legal support, Legal Buddy is bringing accessible, real-time legal help into the hands of the people who need it most—when they need it most.
