Step by Step
We assess your category and income against Section 12 of the Legal Services Authorities Act — women and children qualify regardless of income; other categories have state-specific income ceilings.
We tell you exactly which certificates and case papers your DLSA requires, and help you gather them so the application is not returned for defects.
Your legal aid application is filed with the appropriate District or State Legal Services Authority, or online through the NALSA portal, with every field completed correctly.
The authority assigns a panel advocate to your matter. If statutory aid is unavailable or delayed, we route you to a pro bono advocate from our own network.
We stay in the loop — helping you follow up with the DLSA, understand hearing dates, and escalate if the assigned advocate is unresponsive.

Yes. Legal aid is available for all types of cases — criminal, civil, family matters, and more — as long as the applicant meets the eligibility criteria.
Yes. Legal aid under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 is not limited to a free advocate — it can cover court fees, process fees, expenses of preparing the paper book, and drafting charges. An eligible applicant is not expected to pay for these out of pocket; the Legal Services Authority bears them.
A Lok Adalat is a statutory forum under the 1987 Act where disputes are settled by mutual compromise. Its award is deemed a decree of a civil court, is final and binding, and no court fee is payable — if a pending case settles there, the court fee already paid is refunded. It works well for cheque bounce matters, motor accident claims, maintenance, and bank recovery disputes.
