How we verify and maintain the integrity of lawyers on the platform.
DekhLaw performs a basic enrollment check before approving any lawyer profile: we verify that the Bar Council enrollment number provided matches a current enrollment record in publicly available State Bar Council records at the time of profile approval. This confirms the enrollment was active at time of listing only — it does not constitute ongoing verification.
DekhLaw does not guarantee the ongoing professional standing, disciplinary status, or current enrollment of any listed lawyer. Users are strongly advised to independently verify a lawyer's current enrollment with the relevant State Bar Council before engaging any legal services.
Lawyers may include: full legal name; Bar Council enrollment number and State Bar Council; practice areas; courts practised in; location (city and district); years of experience; educational qualifications; languages spoken; professional contact information; and a single professional headshot.
The following is expressly prohibited: promotional language ('best lawyer', 'top advocate', 'expert', 'specialist', etc.); testimonials or case outcome claims; success rate or win/loss statistics; any language designed to solicit or advertise legal services; content that violates BCI professional conduct standards.
Lawyer profiles are ranked in search results based exclusively on: practice area relevance; geographic proximity; current availability status; and historical response time. No lawyer can pay DekhLaw for higher placement.
If a lawyer is found to have provided false information or violated this Policy, DekhLaw may: immediately suspend the profile; permanently remove the listing; notify the relevant State Bar Council; and assist in legal proceedings against the lawyer.
