About the Practice
The practice in brief
Most people arrive at a chamber worried, and a good part of that worry is simply not knowing what the case involves. So the first meeting goes on reading the papers and saying plainly what the matter is worth, what it will cost, and how long it is likely to run.
After that the work is ordinary enough. Pleadings are drafted carefully, limitation dates are diarised, and arguments are prepared before the hearing rather than at it. You are told what happened on each date, in language you can act on.

What happens when you get in touch

The first call
Call, send a WhatsApp message, or use the enquiry form. You will be given a time to go through the matter properly instead of a two-minute answer at the door.
-
02
Reading the papers
Bring everything connected to the case. No opinion is given until the documents have been read, and you are told what is missing from them.
-
03
Costs and a plan
You are told what can be done, roughly how long it should take, and what the fee is. In writing, before anything is filed.
-
04
In court
Drafting, filing and arguing the matter, with a report after each date so you are not left guessing.
Workshops & Lectures
Workshops for departments and forces
Departments and forces sometimes ask for a session on the legislation their duties turn on. How the Act is built, and the procedural points on which cases are later won or lost.
Most recently: One-day workshop on the NDPS Act, 1985, at the invitation of the 21st Battalion, Sashastra Seema Bal (Ministry of Home Affairs), on 19 September 2026.

What To Expect
Four things you can hold this chamber to
These apply to every matter taken on here. If any of them slips, say so and it will be put right.
Book a Consultation- An honest view of the case
If a case is weak you hear it at the first meeting, not after three years of fees.
- Fees settled in advance
The fee is agreed before work begins. Court fees and other expenses are listed separately.
- Reports after every date
You hear what happened in court without chasing for it. Calls are returned the same day wherever possible.
- Confidentiality
What you discuss here is covered by advocate-client privilege and is not repeated outside the chamber.
Common Questions
Questions people ask
How do I book a consultation?
Call or send a WhatsApp message on +91 62006 32405, or use the enquiry form on the Contact page. You will be told the earliest available slot and what the matter is likely to involve.
What should I bring to the first meeting?
Bring every document connected to the matter. Notices, agreements, receipts, court papers, identity proof and any written communication. Papers that look unimportant often decide how a case has to be framed, so if you are not sure about something, bring it.
What are the fees?
Fees depend on the nature of the matter, the forum and the work it needs. They are settled before the engagement begins, so you know what you are committing to. Court fees and other expenses are listed separately from the professional fee.
Is what I share kept confidential?
Yes. Everything discussed is protected by advocate-client privilege and is not disclosed to anyone without your instructions. Please speak freely, because advice is only as good as the facts it is based on.
