What is the purpose of AdvocateKhoj?
AdvocateKhoj helps people find the right advocate. Anyone who needs a legal assistance can present a case (answer some simple questions about their legal situation) "free of cost" on the AdvocateKhoj website without revealing his or her identity. Then, subscribing advocates of AdvocateKhoj review your case and then decide whether to respond. Once you get a reply from an advocate, we provide you with the advocate's background information so that you can make a smart decision.

No. AdvocateKhoj is not a referral service.

How do I get to know, how many advocates stand in competition with me to get the work and how do I stand best in them?
Unfortunately, AdvocateKhoj does not allow communication among the subscribing advocates. The only way you can know about this is, when you are contacted by a prospective client. The reason why AdvocateKhoj does not collect such information is because AdvocateKhoj is only a communication platform between advocates and consumers and we do not dictate or govern the fees charged by an advocate for his/her service.

If during these 6 months, a client is able to find an advocate, we expect the client to delete his/her case otherwise the system archives it as stated above.
