Can NRIs hire your firm remotely?
Yes. Most of our NRI clients never meet us in person. Consultations are held by video call or phone, documents are exchanged securely by email, and we act for you in India under a power of attorney where the matter requires it.
Do I need to travel to India?
In most matters, no. Courts increasingly permit representation through counsel and, where personal appearance is unavoidable, we tell you well in advance so you can plan a single trip rather than several.
How are consultations conducted?
By video call, telephone or email, scheduled to suit your time zone. Write to consultation@chavdalaws.com with a short summary of your matter and we will confirm a time.
What documents are required to begin?
It depends on the matter, but usually identity and address proof, any agreements, notices or court papers you already have, and property or marriage documents where relevant. We send you a precise checklist after the first consultation.
How are legal fees charged?
We agree fees in writing before work starts. Depending on the matter this may be a fixed fee for documentation and registrations, or stage-wise fees for litigation. There are no surprise charges.
