Who can read my messages?
You and your lawyer. Messages are encrypted on your device before they are sent and are stored only encrypted. Your key follows you to every device you sign in on, with nothing to set up or remember. For the strongest privacy, protect it with your passkey in Settings: then only your own devices can open your messages, and Merowokil holds nothing that can.
How do you check the lawyers?
Every lawyer sends their Nepal Bar Council licence and identity documents, and we review them by hand before their profile goes live. A lapsed licence takes the profile down.
What does it cost?
Asking is free, and nothing is paid for a request the lawyer declines. Once they accept, you pay for call time at their hourly rate plus a 10% service fee (at least Rs 50), and chat stays open for seven days.
How do I pay?
With eSewa, Khalti or connectIPS, on their own page. Merowokil never sees your PIN or bank login.
Do I have to write in Nepali?
Write the way you speak. English works, and so does Nepali typed in Roman letters: type "mero jagga" and you get मेरो जग्गा.
Can I use the research and tools without a lawyer?
Yes. The tools are free for everyone; research needs a free account.
