About Political & Legal Counsel
My Approach
Nanna vruttiye vakeeli vrutti (my profession is law). For me, giving legal counsel is not just about fighting in court - it's about guiding people facing tough situations where law, politics, and public image all mash together. Whoever comes to me, nanna bayasi aashrayisi yaaryaaru keltharo (anyone who seeks my help), I listen.
What I Do
- I help public figures, politicians, and organizations handle legal trouble, especially when things get political and messy.
- My job is to be your shield and your advisor, no matter where you stand politically.
- I look beyond the case files - I watch the political and media angles. Strategic media management for legal cases is as important as strategy in court.
- I’m upfront: sometimes legal fights are more about public perception than just the law.
How I Help
- Analyze how your issue looks in the courtroom and outside, especially if it’s a politically motivated litigation.
- Guide you on defending privacy, dealing with tech threats, and pushing for better protections under the Right to Privacy (Article 21).
- Build solid legal defenses, get stays on arrest warrants where courts see political intent, and make sure your story is heard, not twisted.
- Deep experience with anti-corruption cases, money laundering laws, and digital evidence.
Real Talk
Seen too many times - Nyaayangavanna ondu astravagi balasi (using courts as weapons) for political fights. I believe Rajakeeya yavagalu janara naduve irabeku (politics belongs among the people), not just in courtrooms. But if you need me, I’m here to fight for you, both in law and in the court of public opinion.

Festivals, heroes like Shivaji Maharaj and Dr. Ambedkar, yoga with my dad in Hangal - that’s me, rooted in our culture. My dream? Sthaleeya naayakatvavanna kattabeku (Build strong local leadership). I walk this path with my people, always.
