Payments
Everything you need to know about pricing, payment methods, when payment is required, and what happens after you pay.
How much does a consultation cost?
Consultations range from free to AED 500, depending on the type of consultation and specialist. We offer a free 15-minute consultation with a duty lawyer, while a more detailed junior-lawyer consultation costs AED 500.
When do I need to pay?
Payment is made in full and in advance when you confirm your request or select a specialist, before any work begins. If we cannot match you with a specialist, your payment is refunded.
How can I pay?
You can pay securely through the platform by Visa or Mastercard, or by bank transfer against an invoice.
Will I pay AdvoAssist separately, on top of the specialist's fee?
No. You pay one price through the platform, shown before you confirm your request. Platform services are already included in the price and are not billed separately.
What determines the price of a lawyer's services?
The price depends on the type and complexity of your matter, the specialist's seniority and specialization, and, for standard services, the options you choose such as urgency, scope and volume. For matters without a fixed price, the specialist sets the price through Announce Auction or an agreed price after an initial minimum payment.
What happens right after I pay?
You receive an instant confirmation by email and a private messaging channel with your specialist opens immediately. Your booking is officially confirmed once your payment is received.
When does my specialist start working?
Our manager starts working on your request immediately, within 4 hours at most. Your specialist's work begins as soon as your payment is confirmed and the messaging channel opens.
What if the price changes after work has started?
The price you paid covers the scope shown at checkout. If your matter requires additional work because of unforeseen complications or work outside the original scope, your specialist will discuss it with you first. Any additional work must be booked and paid for separately and is never added automatically.
Can I pay for someone else's consultation?
Yes. You can pay for someone else. After or during payment, tell our manager who the service is for, and we will set up their own account and move the case there.
