About Divorce & Family Law
Why I Do This
Turning injustice into justice is more than my job - it’s my reason for being a lawyer. When family problems get messy, I’m here to stand by you and fight for what’s right, not just what’s easy.
What You Can Expect
Family law is confusing, and emotions can mess with your head. My first step is to cut through the noise and give you clear, honest advice. Mat samjho... magar galat mat samjho (don’t understand... but don’t misunderstand) - I’ll make sure you know exactly where you stand, no sugarcoating.
What I Handle

- Domestic violence protection order cases
- Alimony settlement process and spousal support
- Child custody legal advice and maintenance
How I Work
When everything feels chaotic, I try to be the anchor. Berang zaroor hai hum, par duniya ke har rang ko pehchan ne ka hunar rakhte hai hum (I might be colorless, but I know how to spot every color in the world). I keep things objective, so we can find the best legal strategy for you. The road is tough, but yakeen aur ummeed (belief and hope) help us move forward.
More Than Just Me
I’m part of The Legum Group, so you get not just my experience, but the whole team’s support. Your case gets the attention it needs, from every angle.

My Story
People see the black coat, law books, think that's my whole story. Nah, there's more. My work is my identity, but family and friends matter too. When things get heavy, I run to the mountains - 'Mann leke aaya Mata Rani ke bhawan mein... bada sukh paya.' That peace, it’s my strength. I live by principles: 'Tarashiye khud ko kuch is tarah...' I’m straight up, maybe complicated, but never fake. Don’t misunderstand me.
My Work
Divorce & Family Law Services - I handle cases like Domestic violence legal help, Alimony, Child maintenance lawyer, and fee disputes.
My Way of Working - 'Yakeen aur umeed lakshya ko sambhav banate hain.' I fight to turn my clients’ weaknesses into strengths.
For My Clients - Law isn’t always black and white. I help you see the grey and find justice, no drama.
Bit of Humor, Lot of Dedication - 'Agar na dhoondh pao mujhme dosh koi... toh sampark mere rishtedaron se karna.' I give my best, always.
