About Family Law
Why I Do What I Do
People call me the Legal Boss, and I’ve earned it the hard way. As a first-generation lawyer, I know what it means to fight for every inch. Humne bahut mehnat ki hai (I've worked really hard) to get here, and I bring that same energy to every family law case.
What I Handle
Family disputes can shake you up, both emotionally and legally. I don’t just show up as your lawyer - I’m your strategist and fighter.
- Divorce cases, especially tough ones involving mental cruelty or adultery. I use digital evidence in divorce cases, like chats or recordings, to build your side.
- Alimony & maintenance isn’t about flashy weddings, it’s about the lifestyle you actually lived. I make sure your facts match your claims.
- Domestic violence and cruelty - mental harassment counts too, not just physical. If you’re facing false allegations, I build a counter-strategy for false allegations to defend you.
My Approach
Evidence is everything. The story matters, but only proof wins the battle. I’ll guide you to get digital evidence verified, not tampered, so it stands up in court. One recording won’t do - we need a full chain: messages, photos, witnesses, all stitched together.
Procedural discipline is key. Don’t leak anything on social media - save your power for the courtroom.
What You Can Expect
Family law fights are tough. Log aksar bolte hain (People often say), "Mam, woh mere par jhoota case laga rahi hai" (She's putting a false case against me). I get it. Challenges toh hamesha rahenge (Challenges will always be there), but with me, you get someone who actually fights for your side. Truth deserves a voice, and I’m here to be yours.

My Story
I’m Pooja, first-gen lawyer, no godfather, just my own fight. Became a mom at 19, studied law secretly, worked jobs, raised my child solo. Didn’t take a rupee from anyone after divorce. Seniors called me rebellious – ab wahi rebellion meri himmat hai (now that rebellion is my courage). I want to be great, not just best. I’ve lived the battles I fight for my clients. Boss of my life, and my work.
My Work
Legal Services Offered - I handle Supreme Court cases in criminal, civil, family law, medical negligence victims, property disputes, corporate and data privacy.
Strategy is Everything - Court mein kya bolna hai, kaise bolna hai (what and how to say in court), that’s what wins. I build real case strategies.
Medical Negligence Victims - Proving medical negligence is tough, but I guide you step by step, no false hopes. I fight for real justice.
Fighting for the Underdog - I stand for honest people. Justice isn’t only for the rich. I raise my voice for those who need it most.
Ethics Above All - No shortcuts, no drama. I’ve called out misconduct, even got a legal influencer’s license suspended. Real is real.
