COMMON QUESTIONS
Before your consultation.
Does an enquiry mean my case is accepted?
No. The office must review scope, availability and potential conflicts. An engagement is created only after the responsible advocate accepts the matter and terms are agreed.
Which documents should I prepare?
Start with a short timeline and a list of relevant documents. Each practice-area page includes a suggested checklist. Do not submit confidential files through the initial enquiry.
Is a consultation the same as representation?
A consultation has its own agreed scope. Drafting, negotiation, filings and court representation require separate confirmation and fee terms.
How are fees agreed?
Confirm the professional fee, taxes and approved expenses in writing before beginning. Court fees, stamp duty and other disbursements should be identified separately. No payment is collected in this website.
Can I choose Kannada or an online consultation?
The form includes language and mode preferences. These are requests until the office confirms the relevant advocate and availability.
What if my matter is urgent?
Do not rely on this website for immediate assistance. Contact an appropriate professional directly. For immediate danger, use the official emergency service at 112.
Not sure where to begin?
Not sure which topic fits? Start with a brief call or WhatsApp enquiry; further information can follow after preliminary review.
