Common questions
About our services and office.
A family member has been detained. What should I do first?
Call our office on +977-9841299088 as early as you can. Find out which police office is handling the matter and keep any notice or document you were given. Early advice matters most at the investigation stage.
Can you help with a bail application?
Yes. We explain how bail is decided in Nepal, what the court considers, and what papers are needed. Whether bail is granted depends on the offence and the circumstances of the case.
I received a police notice. Do I need a lawyer to respond?
You are not required to bring a lawyer, but it helps to understand what the notice asks and what your rights are before you respond. Bring the notice to our office and we will read it with you.
