Common Questions
Quick answers to frequently asked questions about our process, fees, and timelines.
Do you offer a first consultation without charge?
Yes. The first thirty-minute call or meeting is on us. This allows you to explain your matter and for us to decide if we are the right fit for your case. After the first meeting, fees depend on case complexity and are agreed upon in writing.
How long does a typical civil matter take in Pakistan?
Civil matters in Pakistan move through several stages: the filing of pleadings, framing of issues, evidence, and final arguments. A straightforward suit may resolve in 1-2 years, while complex property disputes can take longer. We provide a realistic timeline estimate after our first review.
Will you handle a matter outside Islamabad or Rawalpindi?
Yes. We accept matters in courts across Pakistan, including Lahore, Karachi, and Peshawar. For appearances in distant districts, we often work with trusted local counsel for routine hearings while remaining your principal advocates for all major arguments.
How are legal fees calculated and billed?
We primarily use milestone-based billing. This means you know exactly what you are paying for at each stage of the case (e.g., filing, evidence, final arguments). A clear written engagement letter sets out the work covered, the fee for each stage, and any out-of-pocket expenses.
Can I send documents over WhatsApp or Email?
Yes. For an initial review, WhatsApp or email is convenient. Once you become a client, we provide a secure, encrypted folder for all your sensitive legal documents to ensure maximum confidentiality and security.
What is the difference between a High Court and a District Court matter?
District Courts (Trial Courts) are where most cases begin, focusing on facts and evidence. High Courts primarily handle appeals, revisions, and writ petitions (constitutional matters). We are enrolled to practice before both, as well as the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
