Before you engage legal counsel, verify these seven principles. They protect you from predatory operators and help you recognise legitimate practice.
Any person promising a specific verdict, a fixed timeline for judgment, or a 'settled' result before hearing is misrepresenting the judicial process. Litigation outcomes cannot be contracted for.
Legitimate legal engagement is preceded by a written fee note or vakalatnama. Refuse cash-only arrangements with no receipt and no scope of work in writing.
Statutory filing fees, process fees, and stamp duty are payable via challan or e-payment to the treasury. A demand to hand these amounts in cash to an intermediary is a red flag.
Any claim of a private channel to a sitting judge, registrar, or bench clerk is either a fraud or an attempt at criminal conduct. Walk away and report it.
Advocates work from certified copies and scans. There is no legitimate reason to surrender original title deeds, wills, or identity documents to a lawyer's custody without a signed acknowledgment and a clear return protocol.
Case status, next hearing date, and orders passed are publicly verifiable on the eCourts / High Court portal. If your matter is 'ongoing' but shows no listings, ask directly.
A serious chamber verifies that it does not already act for the opposite party before accepting instructions. Skipping this step is a professional lapse and, occasionally, a strategic trap.
