Get in Touch

What happens after you send the form

1. The enquiry is read the same working day or the next, and the matter is sorted into one of three buckets: advisory, filing, or urgent. Urgent means an arrest is expected, a bank account has been frozen, or a limitation date is within a week.
2. If the enquiry is complete enough to assess, a reply goes out with a first view of the forum, the realistic route and the documents needed. If something essential is missing, the reply asks for it rather than guessing.
3. Where the matter needs a conversation, a consultation slot is offered over phone, Zoom, Google Meet or WhatsApp video, including outside Indian working hours for clients abroad.
4. Only after that conversation is a fee estimate issued in writing. Nothing is payable before the estimate is accepted.

What to put in your message

A short, dated chronology is worth more than a long description. Write what happened in the order it happened, with dates where you have them, and name the parties by role — landlord, employer, buyer, bank. Then attach whatever exists: the notice, the agreement, the order, the bank statement, the FIR copy or the acknowledgement number from cybercrime.gov.in.

Do not send original documents by post, and do not send passwords, OTPs, card numbers or account credentials through this form. Only what is needed to assess the matter.

Urgent matters

Office and hours

The office is at 14 Hare Street, Kolkata 700001, West Bengal, near the Calcutta High Court. Working hours are Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM; Sunday and public holidays are by appointment. Consultations can be held in English, Hindi and Bengali.

Clients visiting in person are asked to fix a time beforehand, because hearing days at the Calcutta High Court and the City Sessions courts are spent in court.

Reaching the office

The office is a short walk from the Calcutta High Court and within easy reach of Esplanade and Central metro stations. Clients arriving from outside Kolkata are advised to confirm the appointment before travel, so that the hearing schedule and the meeting do not clash.

Common questions about getting in touch

Is the first consultation really free? Yes. The first conversation is free, whether it happens by phone or video. It covers a first view of the matter, the likely forum and the documents needed. No fee is quoted for it and none is charged.

Do I have to come to Kolkata? Usually not. Advisory work and most filings are handled on documents sent by email or courier. Where a hearing requires an appearance, the office attends; where the client must appear in person, notice is given well in advance.

How quickly will I hear back? Enquiries received on working days are usually answered within 24 hours. Matters marked urgent are prioritised the same day.

Getting to the office

The office is at 14 Hare Street, Kolkata 700001, in the Dalhousie and B B D Bagh area, a short walk from the Calcutta High Court. The nearest metro stations are Esplanade and Central, and the area is served by the buses that run along B B D Bagh and Strand Road. Clients arriving by car should allow for the restricted parking around the High Court precinct and the one-way system on the approach roads.

Appointments are fixed in advance because hearing days are spent in court. A client who arrives without an appointment may find the office closed for the day, particularly during the listing hours of the Calcutta High Court and the City Sessions courts.

What to bring to an in-person meeting

Originals are useful for verification but are not required at the first meeting. A complete set of copies is enough to give a first view.

Payment and receipts

Fees are payable only after a written estimate has been accepted. Payments are made by bank transfer or cheque in favour of the office, and a receipt is issued for every payment. Cash payments are avoided for anything beyond a nominal amount. Where a matter requires court fees, stamp duty or notary charges, those are paid separately and are receipted separately, because they are statutory payments and not professional fees.

What happens to the information you send

Information sent through the form or by email is used only to assess and, where instructed, to handle the matter. It is not shared with third parties except where the client authorises it or the law requires it. Clients are asked not to send passwords, one-time codes, card numbers or bank credentials, because no step in a legal matter needs them.

If you do not hear back

Enquiries are normally answered within 24 hours on working days. Where a reply has not arrived, the reason is usually that the message was incomplete — no documents, no dates, or no way to reach the sender. Re-sending the message with a phone number and a short chronology usually resolves it. Matters with a running deadline should be marked urgent in the subject line so that they are prioritised.

Languages and accessibility

Consultations are held in English, Hindi and Bengali. Clients who are hard of hearing can be accommodated over text-based channels, and clients who need more time can request a longer appointment when the slot is booked.

For anything urgent — an expected arrest, a frozen account, or a notice with a date within the week — call +91-9007000603 rather than using the form.

Enquiries that get a faster answer

The enquiries that are answered quickest share three features: a phone number that works, a date on which something happened, and at least one document attached. An enquiry that says only that a property dispute exists cannot be assessed, because a property dispute can mean anything from a partition suit between siblings to a municipal demolition notice to a builder who has not delivered possession, and each of those has a different forum and a different deadline.

What to leave out

Do not send passwords, one-time codes, card numbers or net banking credentials. No legitimate step in a legal matter requires them, and a request for them is itself a fraud. Do not forward the entire mail chain with the whole family copied; the two or three documents that matter are enough for a first assessment. And do not send originals by ordinary post.

After the matter begins

Once instructed, the client is told when the next date is, what is expected at that date, and what the office will file. Where a hearing is adjourned, the reason and the next date are reported the same day. Where an order goes against the client, the appeal period is noted at that point rather than left to run.

Anything urgent — an expected arrest, a frozen account, a notice with a date inside the week — should be a call, not a form. Call +91-9007000603.
