Information, not legal advice.
Advogadinho is a search and information tool covering Brazilian public law. It does not replace a licensed Brazilian attorney (advogado), a judge or the Public Defender's Office (Defensoria Pública) — the only ones qualified to analyze the merits of a specific case and decide who is right in a dispute.
