FAQ

Everyone wants to know what to expect, but the problem is no two legal-processes are alike and there is no “typical” legal process. Every single case is different but legal processes at Lexar Legal follow this general structure:

1. Initial consultation
You meetup and discuss your situation with us which allows us to assess your situation and provide you preliminary advice.

2. Case Evaluation and Strategy Development
After your consultation, we conduct a thorough analysis of your case involving reviewing your documents & legal research thereby designing the best strategy to achieve your goals.

3. Initiation of Legal Action or Negotiation
Depending on the nature of your matter, we would initiate legal action, usually by issuing a notice to the other party or initiate negotiations, with an aim to pursue solutions that are most effective and efficient resolution for your situation.

4. Settlement Discussions
Many a case has been resolved through negotiations. We can engage with the opposite party on your behalf to negotiate a mutually agreeable solution.

5. Filing a case
If negotiations and amicable solutions are not possible, we would go ahead and initiate the litigation process by filing the case in a court of competent jurisdiction.

6. Discovery
If needed, we would go through the discovery process involving gathering of information through depositions and interrogatories.

7. Interlocutory applications
Any interim matters that are required for your case and trial are filed at the appropriate times.

8. Trial
We represent your interest in court through presenting evidence, examining witnesses and making legal arguments to support your case.

9. Post-Trial Actions
Post-Trial actions may involve enforcing the judgment or going in for an appeal, depending on the outcome of the case.

10. Resolution & Closing
Once a resolution is reached, either through trial, settlement or any other means, we take all necessary actions for the finalization of your case.
Please note that this is only an indicative process and your actual process may vary depending upon your case and jurisdiction. Whatever be the process, it is essential that you maintain open communication with us and we will strive to keep you updated on developments in your case, answer your questions and provide guidance at each stage.

We typically handle all types of Civil, Criminal and Corporate matters that include, Constitutional Law, Intellectual Property Law (Patents, Trademarks & Copyrights), Criminal Law, Information Technology Law, Labor, Employment & Service Matters, Competition & Antitrust matters, Alternative Dispute Resolution (Arbitration & Mediation), Consumer Protection, Matrimonial, Family & Estate Law, Property & Real Estate besides other matters. Give us a call today to fix-up an appointment and we can discuss your matters personally.

This can be advised only after going through your matter as it would differ on a case-to-case basis. If you are apprehensive about going to court, you needn’t worry. You can approach us for an in- person consultation and we would be able to advise you properly in this regard. Nevertheless, based on the type of a case, we can negotiate out-of-court settlements for you, or in divorce or family matters we can mediate issues for you. In criminal cases, almost always you will have to go to court to face the charges brought against you

This is an impossible question to answer as the time for a decision varies from the nature of the matter and also drastically from state to state and even court to court. However, ideally speaking, time for decisions in civil disputes before Courts of Original Civil Jurisdiction generally range between 6 months to 5 years, in criminal disputes it ideally ranges between 2 to 5 years, and family disputes range between 1 – 5 years. There are various dependent factors which may shorten or delay the time for these decisions such as nature of parties involved, interim reliefs sought, interim calamities etc., in civil disputes. Usually at least one appeal is preferred which would take at least half the time of the original decision.
In Criminal cases, the dependent factors include number of accused, their bail grants, and if convicted there would in all cases be an appeal which takes one-half to one-third of the original time.
