About this service

Criminal Law help, when it matters

Criminal matters move fast, and the first few hours often decide what happens next. Whether it is an unexpected arrest, an FIR you have just learnt about, or a bail application that cannot wait, you need a criminal advocate who can act immediately and explain your options clearly.

LegalTry connects you with independent, Bar Council–verified criminal lawyers across India who handle bail and anticipatory bail, FIR registration and quashing, arrest and police-station assistance, and full trial defence — including specialised matters such as NDPS, POCSO and cyber-crime.

Every advocate on the platform is checked against the State Bar Council roll, and you see their enrolment number and fee before you commit. You can consult by phone or video within minutes, meet at the advocate's chamber, or have them reach you at the police station, hospital or court.

LegalTry is a technology platform, not a law firm. We do not give legal advice or guarantee outcomes — your advocate–client relationship is directly with the independent advocate you engage.

FAQs

Criminal Law — your questions answered

What should I do first if a family member is arrested?
Stay calm, note the police station and time, and speak to a criminal advocate immediately. You have the right to know the grounds of arrest, to inform a relative, and to consult a lawyer.
How quickly can I talk to a criminal lawyer?
For emergencies, a verified advocate typically calls back within about 24 minutes, 24/7.
What is the difference between bail and anticipatory bail?
Bail is sought after arrest; anticipatory bail is applied for in advance when you fear arrest, so you are protected before it happens.
Can an advocate come to the police station?
Yes. Through LegalTry you can request at-location assistance so an advocate reaches the police station, hospital or court.
How much does a criminal consultation cost?
You see the advocate's fee upfront before you agree. There are no hidden charges and no share of your case.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. Your details are encrypted and shared only with the advocate who takes up your matter.
Can a false FIR be quashed?
In appropriate cases a High Court can quash an FIR under Section 528 BNSS (formerly 482 CrPC). An advocate can assess whether your matter qualifies.
Do you handle NDPS and POCSO cases?
Yes — these are specialised areas and we match you with advocates experienced in them.
What is anticipatory bail's validity?
It generally protects you from arrest in connection with the specified offence; the court may set conditions. Your advocate will explain the specifics.
Can I consult without visiting an office?
Yes — by phone or video from anywhere in India, or in person if you prefer.
What documents do I need for a bail application?
Typically the FIR copy, your ID, arrest details and any earlier court orders. See the Documents Required section above.
Does LegalTry guarantee bail or an outcome?
No. LegalTry is a technology platform and does not guarantee results; outcomes depend on the facts and the court.
Can I get help outside business hours?
Yes — emergency criminal help is available 24/7.
Will the same advocate handle my whole case?
You can continue with the advocate you consult, through the trial and any appeal.
Is LegalTry a law firm?
No. LegalTry connects you with independent, Bar Council–enrolled advocates; it does not practise law or give legal advice itself.
In short
