How a consultation works

A consultation is a working session with your documents, not a sales call. You leave knowing where you stand, what can be done, roughly how long it takes, and what it will cost.

Booking

Call or WhatsApp the chambers at +91 80654 81362, or send the online enquiry form. Consultations are held in chambers in New Delhi or by video call (Google Meet or WhatsApp video), on weekdays and Saturdays by appointment. Urgent criminal matters — an arrest, a remand hearing, a bail listing tomorrow — are taken up on priority; say so when you call.

What to bring

Bring everything, even if you think it is unimportant. Photographs or PDFs on your phone are enough for a first meeting.

Criminal matters — the FIR or complaint copy, any notice under Section 35 BNSS (formerly 41A CrPC), summons, chargesheet, bail orders, previous applications and orders, and a written timeline of events in your own words.

Cheque bounce — the cheque, the bank return memo, the legal notice and its postal/courier proof, the reply if any, the underlying agreement, invoices or loan documents, and account statements.

Family matters — the marriage certificate or proof, photographs, any complaints or FIRs, previous court orders, income documents of both sides, details of children and of the matrimonial home.

Property and tenancy — title documents, sale deed or agreement, rent agreement, notices exchanged, mutation and property-tax records, site photographs, and any pending proceedings.

SARFAESI / DRT / IBC — the loan and security documents, the Section 13(2) demand notice, any Section 13(4) possession notice or auction notice, account statements, your representation and the bank’s reply, the guarantee deed, and any NCLT or DRT filings already made.

Consumer — the invoice, agreement or policy, complaint correspondence, and proof of the loss suffered.

What happens in the consultation

  1. Facts and documents. We go through the chronology and the papers together, and identify what is missing.
  2. The legal position. Which law applies, what the other side can and cannot do, the limitation period or deadline that matters, and the realistic outcomes.
  3. Options and strategy. Whether to negotiate, send a notice, file, defend, appeal, or wait — and in which forum.
  4. Scope and fee. The specific work to be done and the professional fee for it, agreed in writing before any filing. Court fees, stamp duty and out-of-pocket expenses are shown separately.

Fees

Professional fees depend on the forum, the stage and the work involved, and are discussed openly at the consultation. In accordance with the Bar Council of India rules, fee schedules are not advertised on this website. Agreed professional invoices can be paid online through the invoice payment page.

Confidentiality

Everything you share for the purpose of seeking legal advice is treated as confidential, whether or not the chambers takes up the matter. Conflict of interest is checked before any engagement is confirmed.

After the consultation

If you decide to proceed, you receive a written note of the agreed scope and fee, a checklist of anything further needed, and — once the engagement is confirmed — access to the client workspace for documents and hearing updates.
