FAQs
How fast are urgent orders decided?+
Often within days, but timing depends on the court and country. A complete, well-supported petition helps avoid delays.
Will the other side be told?+
Some orders are granted without notifying the other party first; others require a hearing. The lawyer will explain which applies.
What if I don’t have every document on the list?+
Upload what you have. The lawyer will tell you what is essential and what can be described instead; the delivery time starts once the essentials are received.
Are court or government fees included?+
No. The package covers the lawyer’s work only. Any court, government, translation or notary fees are paid separately at cost.
