Answers before you call.

Bring every document connected to the matter: agreements, receipts, bank records, any legal notice sent or received, court papers already served on you, an FIR copy if there is one, and identity documents. Originals are preferable, and putting the papers in date order makes the meeting considerably more productive.

The purpose of the first meeting is to establish the facts and review the documents, so that you receive an accurate assessment rather than a general one. You will be told what legal questions your matter raises, what the realistic options are, what the process would involve, and whether any time limits are already running.

Yes. Part of the firm’s stated approach is providing clear, realistic opinions without false assurances. If your position is weak, or if the matter is better resolved outside court, you will be told that directly. It is far less costly to hear it at the outset than after proceedings have begun.

Consultations can be conducted in English, Urdu or Punjabi.

Matters are handled by Advocate Waqas Asghar Mohla, the firm’s founder. You deal with the advocate conducting your case rather than being passed between people.

Keeping clients informed is a defined part of the firm’s process. You are told what happened at each hearing, what it means for your matter and what the next step is. Decisions that are yours to make are put to you with the consequences of each option explained.

Information shared with the firm in the course of seeking legal advice is treated as confidential, and consultations are conducted privately. This is particularly relevant in family matters, which often involve details clients would not discuss elsewhere.

Fees depend on the nature and complexity of the matter, the forum, and the stage at which the firm is engaged. Because those factors vary so widely, fees are discussed directly and agreed before the firm takes up the matter, rather than quoted as a fixed figure on a website.

In most matters the advocate appears on your behalf and your attendance is not required at every hearing. Some proceedings do require a party to appear in person, and where that applies you will be told in advance.

The firm represents clients at every stage of a criminal case: the investigation and FIR stage, pre-arrest and post-arrest bail, trial defence including cross-examination of prosecution witnesses, and appeals or revisions where the circumstances justify them. It also acts for complainants who need their case pursued properly.

Civil matters are taken from drafting the plaint through to execution of the decree, including declaratory suits, recovery of money, injunctions, specific performance and damages. Particular attention is given to framing the case correctly at the outset, because defects in jurisdiction, limitation or relief are expensive to correct later.

Dissolution of marriage and khula, maintenance for a wife and children, child custody and visitation, guardianship of minors, and recovery of dower and dowry articles — all before the Family Courts at Gujrat.

Yes. This includes title and ownership disputes, possession and dispossession, mutation and revenue matters, agreements to sell and specific performance, partition among co-owners, and due diligence on title before a purchase is completed.

Yes. The firm advises on business structure and company formation, drafts and reviews contracts and partnership arrangements, advises on compliance obligations, and handles commercial recovery and disputes. Continuing advisory arrangements are available for businesses that prefer ongoing support.

Yes. The firm handles constitutional and appellate matters, including writ petitions under Article 199, criminal appeals and revisions, and civil appeals. Appeals and petitions arising from Gujrat district are ordinarily heard by the Lahore High Court at its Gujranwala Bench.

The office is at 1st Floor, Bar Plaza, opposite the G.P.O, District Courts, Gujrat, 50700, Punjab, Pakistan — within the District Courts complex, so it is straightforward to reach if you are already attending court.

The firm’s practice is centred on Gujrat and the District Courts there. It also appears in appellate and constitutional matters arising from the district, which are heard by the Lahore High Court at its Gujranwala Bench. If you are outside these areas, contact the office and you will be told directly whether the firm can assist.

Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The office is closed on Sunday. Court timings can affect availability during the day, so it is worth calling ahead.

You can make contact by phone or WhatsApp to describe your matter and arrange a consultation. A meaningful assessment, however, usually requires reviewing the documents, so a proper consultation is generally necessary before advice can be given.

Yes, and it is one of the most important early questions in any matter. Limitation periods differ according to the type of claim and generally run from a specific starting point fixed by law. A claim brought after the applicable period has expired is ordinarily barred, however strong it may otherwise be, so the position should be checked as soon as possible.

Often, yes. Many matters are resolved through a legal notice, negotiation or a recorded settlement, and that can be faster and less costly than litigation. Whether it is advisable in your case depends on the strength of your position and what you are realistically likely to achieve either way.

No. The outcome of a case rests with the court, and no advocate can control or promise it. You should treat any guarantee of a result with caution. What a lawyer is responsible for is the quality of preparation, the soundness of the advice and the diligence with which the matter is pursued.

No. Sending an enquiry through this website, by email or by WhatsApp does not by itself create a lawyer-client relationship. A relationship is established only once the firm has considered the matter, confirmed that it can act, and terms have been agreed. Please do not send confidential or sensitive information before that point.
