Updated 5 Oct 2026 · 1 min read
There are two ways to approach a lawyer. The main difference is whether you hold a time.
On this page
Book consultation
Pick a time from the calendar and confirm it in a few steps. It suits you when you already know you want to talk to the lawyer, and want a fixed time. You can only book lawyers who take bookings through CasePilot.
Send inquiry
Describe your situation and get a written reply, without holding a time. It suits you when you first want to find out whether the lawyer can help, and what it would cost.
ConsultationA set time, confirmed by the lawyer, with messaging once it's accepted. Your account is created as you book.
InquiryA reply by email, with no time held. No account needed, and no attachments.
Tip
In their reply to an inquiry, a lawyer can propose a consultation time straight away.
