Matched to an advocate — never ranked to one.
The Bar Council of India's Rule 36 restricts advertising and solicitation by advocates, and the Madras High Court has taken the view that ranked lawyer-marketplace listings fall foul of it. FileMyDivorce is designed to stay on the right side of that line.
No stars, no "Top Advocate" badges, no comparative claims
No ratings
Advocates aren't scored, star-rated, or reviewed against each other on FileMyDivorce.
No ranking
We don't order results by "best" or "top" — matches are shown by relevance to your intake, not by rank.
Self-authored profiles
Advocates describe their own practice areas and experience; FileMyDivorce does not write promotional copy on their behalf.
From intake to your first consultation
Confidential intake
City, type of matter — mutual consent or contested — and any children, property, or cross-border elements.
Relevance-based match
We surface advocates whose disclosed practice areas and enrolment fit your matter, typically two to three options.
You choose who to speak with
Read each advocate's own profile and pick who to consult — the decision stays yours.
Consult, then decide
Meet by chat or video. If you'd like to proceed, you engage the advocate directly on their own professional fee.
Two separate bills, always disclosed upfront
| What | Who it's paid to | When you see the number |
|---|---|---|
| Matching & consultation booking | FileMyDivorce (flat fee) | Before you confirm a booking |
| Advocate's professional fee | Your advocate, directly | Agreed with the advocate before engagement |
FileMyDivorce does not share in, or take a percentage of, any advocate's professional fee — consistent with the Bar Council of India's Rules restricting the sharing of advocates' fees with non-advocates.
Frequently asked
Each advocate's Bar Council enrolment number is checked against the relevant State Bar Council's records before their profile goes live, and periodically thereafter.
Yes. There is no exclusivity requirement — you're free to consult more than one matched advocate before deciding who to engage.
You can request a new match at any time. Professional conduct concerns about an advocate are a matter for the relevant State Bar Council, and we'll point you to the right forum if that's what you need.
