You may choose your legal representative from a list of pro bono lawyers when you
ask for your free-of-charge legal aid.
Application for free legal help, Form BPP No 1, can be found in bookshops and on the
internet (http://e-uprava.gov.si/storitve/pridobiVlogo.esju?id=1225). You submit the
filled-in application at the competent court, where your residence is registered. The
court shall evaluate your financial situation and thus determine whether you are entitled
to receive legal aid or not. Once your application is approved you will be granted
a lawyer and given a written referral to see him.
Detailed information regarding your property will be required in the application
for free-of-charge legal aid and this information can be obtained only in
your home country. Acquiring this information in your home country will unfortunately
make the entire process of resolving your situation substantially
longer and more complicated. If you manage to demonstrate, however, that
you have received any kind of social benefits in Slovenia at least once (financial
aid also counts) or that you are a regular recipient of financial aid, there
is a good chance that you will avoid the requirement of obtaining information
from your home country, which will make the process of acquiring free legal
aid much easier and faster.
