How it works
From your legal problem to the right advocate
Law Indian helps you find advocates by the kind of case you have, the city where it will be heard, and the language you speak. Here is what happens at each step — for clients and for advocates.
For people seeking legal help
Four steps to the right advocate
Searching and contacting advocates on Law Indian is free. Any fee you pay is agreed directly between you and the advocate.
Search by your matter
Choose your state, city and the type of legal issue — for example a property dispute, divorce, bail or a cheque bounce case.
Compare advocate profiles
Look at each advocate’s years of practice, practice areas, the languages they speak and whether their profile is verified.
Contact the advocate
Use the contact button on a profile. Share only a short summary of your matter at this stage — not original documents.
Meet for a first consultation
Before you engage the advocate, ask about their fee, the likely timeline, and which documents they will need from you.

Questions people ask
Can’t find your answer here? Write to us from the Contact page.
Is it free to search for a lawyer?
Yes. Searching the directory and contacting an advocate through Law Indian is free. The advocate’s consultation or case fee is agreed directly between you and the advocate.
What does the Verified badge mean?
It means our team has reviewed the Bar Council enrolment details the advocate submitted. You can also confirm an advocate’s enrolment with the State Bar Council where they are registered.
Does Law Indian give legal advice?
No. Law Indian is an information directory, not a law firm. For advice on your situation, please speak to a qualified advocate.
What should I take to the first consultation?
Carry copies of any notices, FIRs, agreements, court orders or letters related to your matter, a short timeline of events written down, and a government ID. Keep the originals with you unless the advocate asks for them.
I can't afford a lawyer. Can I get free legal aid?
Under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, many people are entitled to free legal aid — including women, children, members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, persons in custody, persons with disabilities and people below a notified income limit. Contact your District Legal Services Authority or call the NALSA helpline at 15100.
I'm an advocate. Is listing free?
Yes. Register through the Register as a Lawyer page. Your profile is published after our team reviews it.
