Question 1

How do I find a verified lawyer in India on Judikit?

Accepted Answer

Sign up, describe your legal issue, and get instantly matched with verified advocates in your city. Judikit's matching system filters by your location, practice area, and court type. You can view each lawyer's Bar Council registration, ratings from past clients, experience, and consultation fee before you reach out — all on one page. No middlemen, no cold calls.

Question 2

What types of legal cases does Judikit handle?

Accepted Answer

All major practice areas: property, criminal, corporate, family, IP, consumer, labour, and more. Our network includes advocates practicing in District Courts, High Courts, and the Supreme Court of India. Whether you need a property dispute resolved, a criminal defence lawyer, or help with SEBI/MCA compliance, you'll find the right advocate through Judikit.

Question 3

Can I filter lawyers by court or city?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Filter by state, court type, specialization, experience, and search by name directly. The Find Lawyer page lets you narrow down by Indian state, court level (Supreme Court, High Court, District Court, etc.), and practice area simultaneously. You can also search by lawyer name if you already know who you're looking for.

Question 4

What if my issue is a consumer complaint, not a lawsuit?

Accepted Answer

Find consumer protection advocates who file before Consumer Disputes Redressal Commissions — not civil courts. Consumer disputes in India are handled in specialized forums — the District, State, and National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commissions — not regular civil courts. Our platform can match you with lawyers experienced in these specific forums who can draft and file your complaint efficiently.

Question 5

Is Judikit free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes — searching and browsing lawyer profiles is completely free for citizens. Creating a profile and searching for lawyers on Judikit costs nothing. Consultation fees are set by the individual advocates and are displayed transparently on their profiles before you book an appointment. You only pay the lawyer's fee when you decide to consult.

Question 6

How much do lawyers on Judikit charge?

Accepted Answer

Consultation fees vary by lawyer and are shown on their profile before you book. Each advocate sets their own consultation fee on Judikit. You can compare fees across multiple lawyers before committing. Fees for a single consultation typically range from ₹300 to ₹5,000+ depending on experience, specialization, and court tier. Full transparency, no surprise charges.

Question 7

Are there any hidden charges or commissions?

Accepted Answer

No. Judikit does not take a commission from your consultation payment. The fee you see on a lawyer's profile is what you pay. Any premium platform features (like Judikit Coins for document downloads in Dojo) are optional and clearly priced.

Question 8

Are the advocates on Judikit verified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All advocates are verified against their Bar Council registration before being listed. Every advocate goes through our verification process where we cross-check their Bar Council of India (or State Bar Council) enrollment number and professional credentials. Verified advocates display a ✓ badge on their profile. Always check for this badge before booking.

Question 9

Is my consultation confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All communications are protected by attorney-client privilege and end-to-end encryption. Everything you discuss with your lawyer — messages, documents, case details — is strictly confidential under Indian law's attorney-client privilege. Judikit uses end-to-end encryption for document uploads and secure messaging.

Question 10

What happens if a lawyer behaves unprofessionally?

Accepted Answer

You can report them through the platform and we escalate to the relevant Bar Council. All advocates are bound by the Bar Council of India's professional conduct rules. If you experience unprofessional behaviour, report it via the platform. Judikit will review the complaint and, where warranted, escalate to the relevant State Bar Council for disciplinary proceedings.

Question 11

How does IPC to BNS conversion work?

Accepted Answer

Old IPC sections now map to new BNS sections — our AI assistant does the lookup instantly. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 replaced the Indian Penal Code 1860 on 1 July 2024. Most IPC sections have direct BNS equivalents, though some were merged, renumbered, or expanded. Judikit's AI legal assistant provides real-time IPC-to-BNS lookups so you always cite the correct current law.

Question 12

What is Lok Adalat and can it help my case?

Accepted Answer

Lok Adalat is a free, fast alternative dispute forum — ideal for motor accident, cheque bounce, and matrimonial cases. Under the Legal Services Authorities Act 1987, Lok Adalats provide free, binding out-of-court settlements with no court fee. Awards are deemed a decree and cannot be appealed. Use Judikit's Lok Adalat Eligibility Screener to check if your dispute qualifies in under 2 minutes.

Question 13

How do I file an FIR if the police refuse to register it?

Accepted Answer

Approach the Superintendent of Police or a Magistrate — or have a lawyer send a legal notice. If a police station refuses to register your FIR, the Superintendent of Police can order its registration. You can also file a complaint (under Section 173 BNS) before a Magistrate who can direct the police to investigate. A lawyer can also send a legal notice to compel action. Judikit can match you with a criminal lawyer who handles exactly these situations.

Question 14

What is Judikit Dojo?

Accepted Answer

Dojo is a free library of advocate-verified legal document templates for Indian courts. Judikit Dojo hosts community-contributed legal templates — RTI applications, legal notices, matrimonial petitions, consumer complaints, and more — verified by practising advocates. Most templates are free. Premium templates cost a small number of Judikit Coins.

Question 15

Are there legal internship opportunities on Judikit?

Accepted Answer

Yes — browse verified law internships from advocates, law firms, and legal NGOs across India. Judikit Internships lists vetted law internship opportunities for law students. Filter by practice area, city, stipend, and application deadline. Listings are sourced directly from advocates and law firms registered on the platform.
