Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Bail can be filed at Agra Sessions Court for most matters. For serious cases or if Sessions Court denies bail, we file at Allahabad High Court. You don't need to travel — we handle everything. Updates given via WhatsApp after each hearing.
Via WhatsApp consultation (+91-7571077376), document sharing digitally, and Power of Attorney for court representation. We handle everything from overseas — bail, FIR quashing, criminal complaints. Regular updates after every hearing without you needing to call.
Yes — property dispute FIRs that are essentially civil in nature can be quashed under Section 482 CrPC. Allahabad High Court has strong precedents for quashing FIRs in property matters where civil remedy is available and criminal prosecution would be abuse of process.
Anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC protects you from arrest before it happens. In property dispute cases where police may arrest, we file at Sessions Court Agra or Allahabad High Court. With strong grounds, interim protection can be secured within 24-48 hours.
FIR quashing typically takes 3-6 months from filing to final order. A stay on arrest or investigation is usually obtained within 2-4 weeks of filing. In complex matters, it may take 6-12 months. We give an honest timeline estimate after reviewing your specific case.
Call +91-7571077376 immediately. We assess the case, attend the police station if needed, file bail application at the earliest court opportunity, and ensure legal rights are protected during custody. Time is critical — call within the first 2-3 hours of arrest.
Yes — cases of forged sale deeds, fraudulent property transfer, and criminal trespass can be filed as criminal complaints under IPC Sections 420 (cheating), 467/468 (forgery), 406 (criminal breach of trust). We draft and file these complaints personally.
Fees depend on case complexity — bail (₹25,000-₹75,000), FIR quashing (₹50,000-₹1,50,000), trial defence (separate fee structure). Free first consultation. Transparent fee discussion before any engagement. Call +91-7571077376 for case-specific estimate.
