Hello,

Legal services can be a headache when you don't have the relevant and necessary information, especially upon moving to a new country. Please share some tips regarding legal services in the Netherlands.

What types of legal services might an expat need in the Netherlands?

Are legal services easily accessible?

What are the best ways to go about finding a professional for your legal needs in the Netherlands? (e.g. online, yellow pages, word of mouth)?

What are the most affordable options for legal services (private, public, etc.)? Is there a range regarding fees?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

Hello Priscilla,

Depending on your status in the Netherlands, you may be able to obtain free legal advice (first appointment only) through het juridisch loket: https://www.juridischloket.nl/

I'm not sure if this is something you can get if you're just signed in with the city council or if you need residence/temp residence first.

Otherwise there is this site to look for a lawyer, but it's Dutch only it seems and I have no experience with it. https://www.advocaatzoeken.nl/

Good luck.
