She is the best lawyer, professionally as well as personally. I am much obliged to her for the way she solves cases. She won’t disappoint her clients and always finds a way that helps them. I will always recommend Adv. Priya Ma’am.
She is such a human lawyer, so committed to her profession. I have had a wonderful experience dealing with her — a person of professional values and integrity whom one can rely on.
A very wonderful person and a great lawyer. She resolved my Goa case in one day and had it disposed of. Such a wonderful lady.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions clients often ask first.
Yes. If you fear arrest in a non-bailable offence, you can apply for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS (formerly Section 438 CrPC) before the Sessions Court or the High Court. Early legal advice greatly improves how such an application is prepared.
Yes, the limits are strict. Under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, a legal demand notice must be sent within 30 days of learning of the dishonour. The drawer then has 15 days to pay, after which a complaint must be filed within one month.
Stay calm, be respectful, and speak to an advocate before giving any written statement or signing documents. You have the right to consult a lawyer and the right not to incriminate yourself.
Yes. Communications between you and your advocate made for the purpose of legal advice are privileged under Indian evidence law and cannot be disclosed without your consent.
