How it works
From “I have no idea where to start” to a suitable lawyer
FindLawyer matches and prepares your case. It is not a law firm, so the legal advice comes from your matched lawyer.
Share the matter, budget and priorities through the Finn chat or case-details form.
We explain whether involving a lawyer appears worthwhile and proportionate, and the relevant FindLawyer fee. This is practical guidance, not legal advice.
After payment and receiving the required information, we organise the documents, prepare a structured case brief and select a suitable lawyer.
We make the introduction. The lawyer decides whether to accept the matter, confirms their fees and provides all legal advice and representation.
Searching alone vs. FindLawyer
Three things a search results page cannot do for you.
We are not a directory. A person reads your case and picks the lawyer.
Knowing if it is worth it
You pay for a first consultation to find out whether you had a case at all.
You get an honest read on whether a lawyer is worth it before you commit to anything.
Walking into the meeting
You turn up with a folder of emails and screenshots, and the meeting goes on assembling the story.
You turn up with a written case brief and your documents in order, so the lawyer can start on the advice.
Who you end up with
You pick whoever ranks highest, usually in Dutch, and hope they take on your kind of matter in English.
A person picks for you, on your matter, your budget, your urgency, and whether the lawyer works in English.
“Thank you, they linked me to an amazing lawyer who helped me retain my 1.5k withheld deposit. The process was so smooth and easy without any frustration.”

What people ask before they get in touch
What exactly does FindLawyer do?
We work out what your situation actually needs, put your facts and documents into a written case brief, and introduce you to a lawyer who fits it. FindLawyer is not a law firm. The advice itself comes from the lawyer we introduce you to.
What does it cost?
Telling us what happened is free. If you decide to go ahead, we tell you our fee for your legal area before you commit to anything. The lawyer’s own fees are separate and are paid directly to their firm.
What happens after I get in touch?
You tell us what happened, then get an honest read on whether involving a lawyer is worth it at all. If you want to proceed, we prepare your case and introduce you to a suitable lawyer. We confirm the expected timing before you commit.
