Finding a lawyer
You have an absolute right to be assisted by a lawyer in all cases. You can contact the lawyer of your choice or contact the Luxembourg Bar Association to obtain a list of lawyers to choose one as you wish.
In the absence of choice or when the Chairman of the Bar Association deems your choice to be inappropriate, it will be up to the Chairman of the Bar Association to designate it. The lawyer shall be obliged, unless there is a conflict of interest or a conflict of interest, to take over the mandate given to him or her.
If you are detained, you can ask the investigating judge at the beginning of the proceedings to have a lawyer committed of your own motion or the lawyer of your choice.
You can request legal aid for the legal care and information service in the courts.
A legal care and information service exists in Luxembourg, Diekirch and Esch-sur-Alzette:
- Luxembourg: Court of Justice, CR Building, L-2080, Luxembourg, Tel: 22 18 46

Paying for the lawyer
Lawyers’ fees are free.
If you do not have sufficient income to defend yourself and to pay a lawyer you are entitled to legal aid.
This lack of resources is assessed in relation to the income and wealth of the person who requires the assistance and persons living with him in the legal community.
You are considered to be a person whose resources are insufficient if you have no financial means exceeding the minimum income guaranteed by law.
