Finding a Lawyer
How do I search for a lawyer?
Use the search bar on the homepage or the /lawyers page. Filter by practice area, district, language, and consultation fee to narrow your results.
What does the Verified badge mean?
It means our team has confirmed the lawyer's credentials against the Sri Lanka Bar Association register. See our Verification Process page for full details.
Can I compare multiple lawyers?
Yes — browse profiles, note their practice areas, experience, fees, and reviews. Open each in a new tab to compare side by side.
Contacting Lawyers
How do I send an inquiry?
Go to any lawyer's profile and click the 'Contact' button. Fill in your details and message. The lawyer will be notified and respond directly to you.
Will the lawyer see my email address?
Yes — when you submit an inquiry, the lawyer receives your name, email and message so they can follow up directly.
How long will a lawyer take to reply?
Most lawyers on FindLawyer.lk respond within 1–2 business days. If you don't hear back, try another lawyer or contact us.

Profile & Verification
How do I get my profile verified?
After registering, submit your SLBA enrolment number and supporting documents. Our team will review within 1–3 business days. See the Verification Process page for details.
How do I update my profile?
Log in and go to Lawyer Dashboard → My Profile. You can update your bio, photo, practice areas, consultation fee, and contact details at any time.
Can I pause or hide my profile?
Yes — in your Dashboard, set your availability to 'Unavailable'. Your profile will not appear in search results until you change it back.
Managing Leads
Where do I see client inquiries?
Go to Lawyer Dashboard → Leads. All inquiries appear there with the client's name, message, and contact details.
How do I respond to an inquiry?
Inquiries include the client's email address. Contact them directly by email or phone. Mark inquiries as 'Responded' in your dashboard to keep track.
Why am I not receiving inquiries?
Ensure your profile is complete, your availability is set to 'Available', and your practice areas are correctly listed. Incomplete profiles receive far fewer inquiries.
Still need help?
