Frequency Asked Question

Fees vary by forum and complexity. A first consultation is typically PKR 5,000–15,000 (sometimes free), and fixed-scope work such as drafting or a single filing usually runs PKR 10,000–150,000. High Court matters generally cost more than District Court matters due to the added drafting and appearance work. We review your documents first and quote a fee that reflects the actual work involved, not a blind estimate.

Yes. Most first meetings, whether in person at our G-11/1 office or by phone or WhatsApp, are used to understand your documents and timeline before any fee is discussed.

Timing depends on the forum, the bench, whether interim relief is requested, and the court’s hearing schedule. A stay order or urgent interim relief can be sought quickly, while a full case — especially before the High Court — may take months. We explain likely timelines once we’ve reviewed your file.

Yes, urgent stay orders and interim relief applications are part of our regular High Court and District Court litigation practice, and we prioritise same-day deadlines and arrest-risk matters.

Bring everything relevant rather than summarising selectively — FIRs, notices, court orders, contracts, agreements, or correspondence. Small details in a document can change the recommended legal route, so more information helps us advise accurately from the start.

It depends on the nature of the dispute. Islamabad matters can move between police stations, the Sessions Court, the District Judicial Complex at G-11/4, departmental tribunals, or the Islamabad High Court on Constitution Avenue. Forum identification is the second step in our process, after document review.

Yes, we regularly represent clients in Rawalpindi and nearby areas in addition to Islamabad, and our G-11/1 office location allows quick coordination when a hearing is scheduled on short notice.

We’ll identify exactly what’s missing and advise on how to obtain it. Incomplete documentation is one of the most common reasons cases are delayed or weakened, so we flag gaps early rather than filing prematurely.

Where appropriate, yes. Your matter is tracked through internal file notes so the responsible lawyer stays informed of the case status at every stage, from intake through to hearings.

Urgent matters involving arrest risk, bail, or a same-day court deadline are prioritised. Call our office directly so the facts can be reviewed as quickly as possible.

An initial consultation is often free or low-cost, and we’re happy to explain what stages a matter may go through before you commit to further work. Government-appointed counsel is generally available only in capital criminal cases.

Not always. Initial review can often begin remotely by phone, WhatsApp, or email, though certain filings, signatures, or court appearances require in-person steps.
