Public Counsel

Understand when the state pays for legal representation and how to request Edvin Seif as your preferred counsel.

When public counsel matters most

In several immigration matters, especially asylum and deportation-related cases, the Swedish Migration Agency may appoint public counsel to safeguard your interests.

If public counsel is granted, the state pays for the legal work. The important point is that you often have the right to request who should represent you.
