Placeholder image

A lawyer, free — a woman advocate for maintenance, custody, property and harassment at work.

What the legal desk helps with

Maintenance, custody, divorce, property and succession, domestic violence protection orders, a notice you have received, or a hearing coming up.

Booked, not queued

Members with a legal matter open, or who have asked for a first legal consultation, can book a 15-minute one-to-one. We book it within 72 hours — the same day where a hearing or a statutory deadline falls within seven days.

You will not be left with “we will get back to you”

Every consultation ends with one of four outcomes: a matter opened with a reference number, a longer appointment booked, a centre visit arranged, or the matter closed with the reason.

Private

Legal consultations are not recorded. The officer reads your file before the call, so you do not explain yourself twice.

About Vakilsaheeba. Vakilsaheeba is the Forum's legal aid service. Our panel of women advocates works through the Forum's legal desk. We do not advertise individual advocates, and no advocate's contact details are published — every approach routes through the desk.
