Can my mother choose her choice of lawyer from legal aid


27-Jun-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi I am rather confused about something. My mother is planning to file a judicial separation soon and is finding a lawyer currently. I want to know if she approaches the district legal aid centre for legal aid , does she have the freedom to choose her own lawyer or does she have to go with the lawyer that the centre appoints her?

No choice of lawyer in case of legal aid. A random lawyer will be appointed for her case and he will deal with the case as long as he is authorised to do so by the legal aid department. If she wishes a lawyer of her choice she will have to retain one independently.

Thank you for your query. Your mother has a free will to appoint any lawyer as she feels apt for her. However if she requires assistance from legal aid, lawyers are assigned at random according to the field of service.

You may request for a good and experience lawyer to be provided to you from the panel of lawyers they have, however you cannot demand the lawyer of your choice as it depends on their rules, procedure and availability of a particular lawyer for your case.
