Discover your right to legal aid
Questioner
Good morning I would like to know from you whether a lawyer has the obligation to investigate whether a person is entitled to a lawyer of inability before offering his services for an hourly rate of € 235.00. this concerns a divorce procedure Since we have been making losses for several years, we hope to get out of it without any debt.Lawyer
Ir/Madam, They do have this obligation, see: https://www.advocatenorde.nl/advocaten/juridische-databank/uitspraken/details/7592 Quote: '1 A lawyer has an active duty to investigate the possibility of legal aid for his client. The mere notification by the client that he is not eligible for this does not release the lawyer from this duty, given the complicated system of legal aid. ' The lawyer you hire must offer to provide legal aid. You can check on the website of the Legal Aid Board whether you qualify for legal aid: http://rvr.org/nl/subhome_rz/rechtsbijstandverlener,Inkomensgrenzen.htmlQuestioner
