Questions people ask
Does it cost anything to find a lawyer?
No. Searching, reading the guide, posting your matter and booking a consultation are free for clients. You pay the lawyer's own fee directly to them, as agreed with them.
How do you check that a lawyer is real?
Before a lawyer shows as verified, our team checks their Bar Council enrolment number, CNIC, LLB degree and a photo taken for verification. It is a check of documents, not a review of their work.
Will lawyers see my phone number?
Only if you choose. When you post your matter, lawyers reply on VakeelNama. Your number is shared with the lawyer you write to or book, not with everyone.
Can I consult by video?
Yes, with lawyers who offer it. When you book, choose in person, phone or video. The lawyer confirms the time.
Can I change or cancel a booking?
Yes. Open My bookings and choose Change time or Cancel. The lawyer is told straight away and confirms the new time.
Do I need a lawyer at all?
Not always. A faulty product, a CNIC correction or an online scam can often be handled yourself. The guide says when you can, and when a lawyer is worth it.
Lawyers are verified against their Bar Council enrolment before they appear as verified.
