- Cheque bounce and money recovery: Section 138 complaints, legal notices and summary suits.
- Family court matters: Divorce, maintenance and child custody before the Family Court at Bandra.

Courts and Forums
- Criminal matters: The Metropolitan Magistrate Courts and the Sessions Court in Mumbai, with bail, revisions, appeals and quashing before the High Court of Bombay.
- Family matters: The Family Court at Bandra, which hears divorce, maintenance and custody cases for Mumbai.
- Civil disputes: The Bombay City Civil Court or the High Court of Bombay, depending on the value and nature of the claim.
- Tribunals and commissions: The Debt Recovery Tribunals in Mumbai and the Consumer Commissions.
The correct court depends on the facts, the value of the claim and where the cause of action arose. This is confirmed at the first consultation.
Reaching the Office from BKC
The office is at Grand Residency, RC House, on LBS Road in Kurla West, near Sheetal Cinema. From BKC it is a short drive towards Kurla, and from Kurla station on the Central and Harbour lines it is a few minutes away. Consultations are by appointment, in person or by video call.
When to Call Early
Some steps have fixed deadlines: a cheque bounce notice must go within 30 days of the bank's memo, and an anticipatory bail application is most useful before any arrest. Meeting early, with the documents, keeps those options open.
