The matter
Note your role, the names of the parties, the case number and the court or police station, where applicable. If you are contacting the practice for someone else, explain your relationship and who needs advice.
Client information / Getting ready
Prepare for a Consultation
A clear summary and an organised set of papers help make the first discussion more useful.
← Contact the practice · Areas of practice
Start with the essentials
When making an initial enquiry, give your name, a contact number, the broad subject and the court or authority involved, if known. Mention an upcoming hearing or response date clearly. You do not need to send the entire case file in the first message.
The record
Separate notices, court orders, applications and supporting records. Put them in date order and make a short index. Identify any papers you have requested but do not yet possess.
The questions
Write the two or three questions you most need answered. Mention earlier advice, existing representation and any action already taken so the discussion begins with the full context.
Documents to gather, where available
This is an organisational checklist, not a requirement that every document must exist in every matter. Tick the relevant items while preparing; selections are not saved or sent to the practice.
Keep originals safe. Prepare clear, complete copies, including relevant reverse sides and annexures. Label a working copy rather than marking an original document. Confirm the appropriate sharing method before sending sensitive material.
Prepare a one-page case summary
Use the headings below in your own notebook or document. Record facts in plain language and mark anything you are unsure about.
| Heading | What to include |
|---|---|
| Who is involved? | Your role, other parties and any existing advocate. |
| What happened? | A short account, with the main events in date order. |
| Where does the matter stand? | Court or authority, reference number and most recent recorded step. |
| What is approaching? | Hearing, appearance or response dates, with their documentary source. |
| What do you need to understand? | Your main questions and the practical issue prompting the consultation. |
| What is missing? | Unavailable papers, uncertain dates or details requiring confirmation. |
Separate what you personally know from what someone else has told you. If a date is approximate, say so. A concise, accurate account is more useful than a long narrative that leaves important gaps unclear.
Confirm the arrangements directly
Ask about availability, the consultation format, applicable fees and what papers to provide. Confirm the time and location or call arrangements before attending. No appointment slots or fees are offered through this page.
Dr. Tarun and Associates · Headed by Dr. Tarun Singh, Advocate.
If a date is imminent, state it prominently when contacting the practice and confirm that the enquiry has been received. This page does not provide an emergency response or guarantee availability.
Before the first discussion
Must I have every document before making contact?
No. Explain what is available and what is missing. The practice can clarify which papers are needed to consider the enquiry. Do not guess missing details.
Can I prepare my summary in Hindi?
You may prepare the initial summary in Hindi or English. Keep names, dates and case references consistent with the documents, and identify any translation you have prepared yourself.
Does sending an email confirm an engagement?
No. An enquiry alone does not confirm an appointment or an engagement. Confirm acceptance, scope, fees and arrangements directly with the practice.
Should I send original documents by post?
Confirm the need and arrangements with the practice first. Keep a record of any documents handed over and agree how originals will be returned.
