How to choose the right lawyer in Mumbai
Law is split into many areas. A lawyer who handles cheque bounce cases may not be the right person for a divorce or a rent dispute. The first step is to name your problem clearly. Then find an advocate who regularly handles that area in Mumbai courts.
Mumbai has the Bombay High Court, the City Civil and Sessions Court, the Small Causes Court, Family Courts and several Metropolitan Magistrate courts. Which one hears your case depends on the type of case and where the matter arose. Some matters go to tribunals, commissions or mediation instead of a court. A lawyer can tell you after hearing the facts.
Keep your papers in one place: contracts, receipts, notices, messages and a short timeline of events. Ask the advocate about the process, the fee and what the fee covers. Get the terms in writing. No honest advocate can guarantee a result.
If you cannot afford a lawyer, free legal aid may be available through the legal services authorities in Maharashtra. If there is a police case, an arrest or a court date, do not wait. Speak to a lawyer soon.
This page does not rank or recommend any advocate. Court names and practice change, so confirm the current position. Also see our Delhi guide.
