Find the legal-services office for your district

Note the district, court name if known, any case or notice reference, the next listed date and whether you want advice or a lawyer for proceedings. For a Patna High Court matter, use the related High Court legal-aid guide. If you do not know which office is responsible, describe the court or notice instead of guessing.

Select Open Bihar legal-aid contacts. Find “District Legal Services Authorities (DLSAs)” in the contact table and match your district. Read its office address, Front Office Telephone No./Helpline No. and email together. The page also has a separate list of DLSA secretaries’ mobile numbers; keep the office name with each number.

Ask the listed office: “My matter concerns [district/court]. I need [advice/application help/representation]. Is this the correct office, and how can I make the request?” Ask where the front office is, when you can attend and what information it needs. Confirm details before sending private documents.

NALSA describes applications in person, by post, by email or through its LSMS portal. If writing or online access is difficult, ask about making an oral request with help from a paralegal volunteer or officer. Ask the receiving office which route and supporting information fit your request.

Keep your application copy, submission date, office name and any acknowledgment or reference supplied. Ask how you will hear about the decision, how to follow up and whether anything is still missing. A contact number or submitted request is not confirmation that an advocate has been assigned.

Use the state-office contact or toll-free 15100 on the same Bihar legal-aid contact page and state your district and court. Say which office or number you already tried. Ask for the current front-office contact; the institution will assess eligibility and the assistance available.
