Understand the matter before choosing the next step.
Family disputes involve legal questions and personal decisions at the same time. I help clients separate the urgent issues from the longer-term ones, understand the documents involved and consider whether discussion, mediation or court proceedings are appropriate.
Consultations are confidential and can be held online or in person in Palghar by appointment. The aim of the first meeting is to understand your circumstances and give you a clear view of the available next steps.
