Who should I hire?
| Factor | Advocate | Solicitor | Notary Public | How Leadzo Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What they do | Represents you in court and before tribunals | Gives legal advice, prepares documents, and handles property paperwork - and brings in an advocate if you need to go to court | Attests, certifies, and authenticates documents | Even long-time Mumbai residents get confused by the advocate/solicitor split - Leadzo sends your request to whichever one your matter actually needs. |
| Real qualification in Mumbai | Registered with the Bar Council of Maharashtra & Goa | A real, separate qualification here, unlike most of India: 3 years of training followed by the Bombay Incorporated Law Society's exam | Appointed by the state government, usually from advocates with several years of experience | Just describe your matter when you post it, and Leadzo matches you with Mumbai professionals who've confirmed they handle exactly that kind of work. |
| When you need them | For court cases, tribunal matters, or a Bombay High Court or Small Causes Court appearance | For share transfer paperwork, business contracts, property deals, or other drafting-heavy work | For notarising affidavits, powers of attorney, declarations, or copies of documents | Every professional on Leadzo has already confirmed their Bar Council registration, Bombay Incorporated Law Society certificate, or notary appointment before they can respond to you. |
A property deal in Mumbai often needs two people: a solicitor to draft and check the paperwork, and a notary public (or Sub-Registrar) to finish the attestation and registration.
Verification
Leadzo may display verification labels to help you understand what information has been checked. These indicators improve transparency but should not be interpreted as a guarantee of quality or suitability.
Before you hire anyone, ask to see their bar registration, BILS certificate, or notary appointment yourself, and agree on fees and the scope of work upfront.
Before you hire
Post what you need, and up to 3 verified professionals in Mumbai will get back to you within 60 minutes. Look through their replies and pick who you want to work with - you're not obligated to hire anyone. You and the professional agree fees, scope, and timelines directly between yourselves; Leadzo doesn't handle payments or set prices.
Post your matter once, ask the questions above, and see for yourself - no pressure to hire anyone.
Legal services in Mumbai
Leadzo connects people and businesses in Mumbai with verified lawyers and notary publics covering this area. Mumbai's legal world works a bit differently from most Indian cities. Alongside advocates, who represent you in court, it has real solicitors - people who've trained for 3 years and passed an exam set by the Bombay Incorporated Law Society. Solicitors usually handle drafting, advice, and property paperwork, and bring in an advocate if a case goes to court. A notary public is different again - they just attest and authenticate documents. As India's financial capital, home to the BSE, NSE, and countless small businesses, Mumbai sees steady demand for share transfer paperwork, business contracts, and property deals, along with everyday matters like consumer complaints and unpaid cheques. Every lawyer and notary public who contacts you through Leadzo has already confirmed what kind of work they handle.
The Leadzo approach
Instead of an endless directory or one pushy sales call, we send your matter to a small group of lawyers, solicitors, and notary publics who actually fit what you need.

What customers say
We needed share transfer papers done properly before an investor came on board. The solicitor Leadzo matched me with in Lower Parel knew exactly what our BSE paperwork needed to say - not every general lawyer gets that right.

We needed a power of attorney notarised and registered before my parents in Bandra could complete our flat sale. The notary public told us upfront what the Sub-Registrar would need, which saved us an extra trip.

A tenant stopped paying rent and I had no idea the Small Causes Court was the place to go for this. The advocate Leadzo connected me with in Andheri explained everything clearly and filed the case within the week.

A vendor's cheque bounced on our small business in Powai and I genuinely didn't know where to start. The lawyer sent the legal notice within days and kept us updated the whole way.

I filed a consumer complaint against a builder in Thane who delayed handing over my flat by more than a year. The advocate was honest that the District Commission process would take months - I appreciated that more than a big sales pitch.
