FAQs

No. Digilegal is a marketplace to connect people who need legal advice with lawyers. We do not provide any legal advice ourselves.

We are aware that access to legal advice can be difficult and we are also aware that lawyers generally regret that clients don’t come to visit as soon as an issue arises. Sometimes, knowing which lawyer to contact is not always easy. We also noticed that many people are simply looking for a general opinion about their situation to understand where they stand and whether they should be concerned or not.

We wanted to solve these issues - we want everyone to easily access legal advice at an affordable price. We want to help people find a lawyer to advise them. We want lawyers to be able to advise their clients at an early stage so that they can mitigate the future risks of a dispute.
