How to Book a Consultation With Advocate B.K. Singh in Dwarka or Vaishali

How do you reach Advocate B.K. Singh?

Fastest is a call or WhatsApp to +91 96259 61599. That's the BK Singh advocate phone number for both offices. You can also email advocates@legals365.com, or fill in the form on the contact page. The offices are open Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm, and anything sent after hours gets read when the office opens. If it's urgent, say so in the very first line.

You can choose between two offices. In Delhi, it's Sector 7, Dwarka, on Ramphal Chowk Road near ICICI Bank, Palam Extension, New Delhi 110077. Across the Yamuna, it's Office 1203, Cloud9, Tower S3, Vaishali Sector 1, Ghaziabad, a short walk from Vaishali Metro station. Either works for a first meeting. So does a video call.

Please stick to these official details. If someone rings from another number claiming to act for the firm, or asks for money to 'speed up' a case, call the number above yourself before you do anything at all. Any fee agreed with the firm is paid against a written fee note. Nothing else.

Advocate BK Singh office in Dwarka or Vaishali: which one works for you?

Go with whichever office is easier to reach. The office you walk into makes no difference to which court hears your case.

Booking a consultation, one step at a time

1. Send one clear message

   Call or WhatsApp +91 96259 61599, or email. Give your name, your business, the other party's name, roughly how much is involved and any deadline you know about. Those five points in a single message will save you several phone calls.

2. Conflict check

   Before anyone reads your papers in detail, the other side's name is checked against existing clients. The firm can't advise you against someone it already acts for. Better you find that out on day one.

3. Share the main papers

   Send scans or clear phone photos of the core documents: the contract or purchase orders, invoices, ledger, delivery proof, the important emails and chats, and any notice or summons. Name the files so a stranger could follow them.

4. Fix a time and place

   You'll be offered a slot at Dwarka, Vaishali or online. The terms for the consultation are told to you at this point, before the meeting, not after it.

5. Come with the right person

   Come yourself. And bring whoever actually dealt with the other side, whether that's a sales manager, your accountant or a project lead, because their answers usually decide the advice.

6. Get the advice and the next steps

   After the meeting you'll know the route, the likely court fee and other expenses, and how long each stage usually takes. If you choose to go further, you'll also get a written fee proposal for the work ahead.

What should the first call or WhatsApp message say?

Keep it to five things: who you are and who the other side is, how much is involved, what happened in a line or two, and whether any date is coming up. That last one matters most. Summons that arrived last week, a mediation date the Legal Services Authority has already fixed, an invoice that's about to cross three years, a debtor who's putting its premises up for sale: any of these changes how soon we need to sit down together.

A made-up message that does the job might read: 'We have a steel fabrication unit in Sahibabad. A builder in Raj Nagar Extension owes us around Rs 46 lakh for structural work we finished in March. No reply from them since July. We haven't sent a notice. Oldest unpaid bill is February 2024. Can we meet at Vaishali this week? Work orders and ledger can come over today.' It's a minute to type. And it tells the team nearly everything it needs to get ready.

Please don't open with a long voice note. They're hard to scan for names and dates. If you'd rather explain by speaking, call, and then send a short written message so the basics are on record.

What does Advocate B.K. Singh look at first when a booking request comes in?

The deadline, always. We go through the request hunting for any date that can't be allowed to slip. Say you're the defendant in a commercial suit. You get 30 days from service of summons for your written statement, and that can be pushed to an outer limit of 120 days. Not a day more. Miss it and you lose the right to file. Summary suits under Order XXXVII of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 are tighter still: ten days to enter appearance, then ten days from service of the summons for judgment to ask for leave to defend. Plaintiffs have deadlines too. If your oldest invoice is close to three years old, the clock is running whether or not anyone has warned you.

Second, where does the dispute belong? A claim of Rs 3 lakh or more may be commercial under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015. Or it may really be for a tribunal, an arbitrator or a criminal court. What looks like a plain unpaid invoice sometimes hides an arbitration clause, a cheque that bounced, or a debtor company already in insolvency. If we spot that before you come, we can ask for the papers that actually matter.

Then the papers. A request that comes with a ledger and the last few emails can be read properly before you arrive. One that comes with nothing means half the meeting goes on basic facts. That's why every booking ends with us asking for documents.

Urgent matters: put it in the first line

If any of these fits your situation, put it at the top of the message. And call. Don't only email.

• You've been served summons in a commercial suit. Give the date of service if you know it. The written statement clock is already ticking, and our page on the 120-day written statement deadline explains why it won't stretch any further.
• You've received a summary suit. The ten-day periods under Order XXXVII are short. Courts apply them strictly.
• The other side is about to do something you need stopped. Maybe it's selling your stock, using your brand, ending a distributorship or encashing a bank guarantee. You may need an urgent injunction, and if the plaint genuinely shows urgency, Section 12A mediation isn't a precondition.
• Your claim is close to the limitation line. If any unpaid invoice is more than two and a half years old, tell us. Mediation or filing may have to start straight away.
• A mediation or court date is already fixed. Tell us the date and the forum. Walking into a first mediation session unprepared wastes what's often the most useful meeting in the whole process.
• A decree was passed and you didn't know. The time limits for setting aside an ex parte decree are short, and the date you found out matters a great deal.

Which office should you pick, and what courts are close by?

Pick by travel, not by court. Still, it helps to know what's near each office. The Dwarka office is a short drive from the Dwarka court complex in Sector 10, which hears matters from Delhi's South West district, and the Dwarka Expressway puts the Gurugram district courts within easy reach. Our guide on a commercial court lawyer near Dwarka court goes into filing in South West Delhi.

The Vaishali office is close to the Ghaziabad district courts, in the complex next to the Collectorate at Raj Nagar, and to the Karkardooma court complex just across the border in East Delhi. Clients from Noida and Greater Noida usually find Vaishali easier than Dwarka. Surajpur, where the Gautam Buddh Nagar courts sit, is a drive away. For where cases from that side get heard, see our guide on a commercial court lawyer near Vaishali, Ghaziabad.

Coming by metro? Vaishali is the last stop on the Blue Line branch, and the Cloud9 towers are close to the station. For Dwarka, use the address above or ask for a map pin when you book. Call when you're near. The office is on Ramphal Chowk Road, by ICICI Bank.

Does the office you visit decide where your case is filed?

No. Two things pick the court: how much is at stake, and geography. Delhi commercial suits worth up to Rs 2 crore are heard by the District Judge (Commercial Court) at the local district court complex, so Saket, Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Rohini, Dwarka or Patiala House depending on the area. Bigger suits, above Rs 2 crore, are filed in the Commercial Division of the Delhi High Court. The High Court's Full Court suggested in July 2026 that the district ceiling go up to Rs 10 crore. That won't happen without an amendment to the Delhi High Court Act, so check where the limit stands when you file. Over in Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Gurugram and Faridabad, it's whichever court has been designated the Commercial Court for that district.

Geography is governed by Section 20 of the Code of Civil Procedure. A suit can go where the defendant lives or does business, or where the cause of action arose in whole or in part. So a client who met us in Vaishali can end up in a Gurugram court, and a Dwarka client in Ghaziabad. We go wherever the case is listed. And many routine hearings in Delhi's district courts and the Delhi High Court can be attended by video, if the court permits.

Can you book an online consultation instead?

Yes. For a first review it often works as well as sitting across the table. You send the papers ahead on email or WhatsApp, we read them before the call, and we go through them together on video. Clients in other cities like this. So do factory owners who can't leave the shop floor for half a day.

Some practical tips for video. Group the papers into a handful of PDFs, say one for the deal, one for delivery or work, one for the money and one for the dispute, instead of fifty loose photos. Open the link five minutes early to check it works. Keep the originals on the desk next to you, in case we need to check a date or a signature. If your sales head is at the plant in Bhiwadi, get them added to the call.

Meeting in person is better where original documents need a close look, like a disputed signature, a stamped agreement or a cheque. It's also better when several people from your side need to be in the room. And some matters are sensitive enough that you'd rather not discuss them on a call from your own office. Our guide on consulting online for a commercial dispute covers the practical side of video meetings and how papers are shared securely.

How long from first contact to advice, and what does it cost?

These are usual ranges. Urgent matters jump the queue, and big files take longer to read.

How do fees get discussed when you book?

You're told the terms for the first consultation when you book it. No surprises. Fees for anything after that are discussed at the first meeting, once we've read the papers and the route is clear. They're agreed in writing, stage by stage: notice, mediation, drafting and filing, interim applications, trial, and execution. You can take the fee proposal home, think it over and come back to us.

Out-of-pocket costs like court fee, mediation fee, process fee, certified copies and travel to outstation hearings sit outside the professional fee. You'll be told about them before they arise. An advocate isn't allowed under Bar Council of India rules to charge a share of what's recovered, or any fee that turns on the outcome. Don't expect that offer from us. More on the approach is on the process and fees page, and in our guide on how fees are discussed and agreed.

How should a company, a partnership firm or a proprietor book?

Proprietors are simple. You and the business are the same person in law, so you book and you act. With a private limited company or LLP, anyone from the office can make the first booking. The person who'll later sign the plaint or written statement, and verify the statement of truth, is a different matter. They'll need a board resolution, or an authority letter from the designated partners. Tell us early who that is, so the paperwork moves while we're reading your file.

For a partnership firm, tell us whether it's registered with the Registrar of Firms. Section 69 of the Partnership Act, 1932 restricts an unregistered firm from suing a third party to enforce a contract. Far better to know that before a notice goes out than after a suit is filed. Bring the partnership deed if you have it.

Some disputes involve a group, for instance a holding company plus two operating companies that each traded with the same customer. Put all the names in your first message. Each one goes through the conflict check, and that list is where the advice on who sues, and who gets sued, begins. Often the finance head, the sales head and the plant head each know a slice of what happened. Settle beforehand who'll attend. Anyone who can't come can send a short note.

What to send with your booking request

Scans or phone photos are fine. Send what you've got; missing papers can follow later.

• The contract, purchase orders or work orders
• Your invoices, and your ledger for the other party
• Delivery challans, e-way bills, or proof that the work was completed and signed off
• Emails and WhatsApp chats about payment or complaints, exported properly and not just screenshotted
• Any legal notice you sent or received, with proof it was dispatched
• If you've been sued, the summons, plaint and order sheet, and the date they reached you
• Your GST registration and, where it applies, your Udyam certificate
• A short note of what happened, in date order, even if it's handwritten

Where people go wrong when booking

• Waiting for a 'good time' to call. Business owners often hold off till month-end, or till after Diwali. Meanwhile the written statement period keeps running, or an invoice quietly crosses three years.
• Leaving out the deadline. 'Need advice on a recovery matter' gets an ordinary slot. 'Summons served on 3rd, suit in Saket commercial court' gets looked at that same day.
• Sending 200 unsorted photos. Volume with no order slows everyone down. A ledger, the invoices in date order and the last few months of messages are worth more than your whole camera roll.
• Booking for the wrong person. The owner books. But the one who actually dealt with the buyer, who knows why the third consignment got rejected, stays back at the factory.
• Choosing an office by where the court is. The office you visit has nothing to do with jurisdiction. Pick the one you can get to easily, and come on time.
• Holding back an earlier lawyer's work. If a notice went out or a case was filed through someone else, tell us and send those papers. It changes what can be done next.

What to do, and not do, before the meeting

The days between your first message and the meeting are where avoidable damage usually happens. A few precautions keep your position safe.

• Don't reply to a legal notice in anger. A hurried reply from your own email can contain admissions the other side will happily quote in its plaint. If a reply is due, note the date and let it be drafted after we've met.
• Don't sign anything new. A 'full and final' settlement letter, a revised ledger confirmation the other side has prepared, or a fresh agreement on changed terms can each weaken a claim or a defence.
• Keep the phone and the mailbox intact. Hang on to the phone you used for WhatsApp with the other party, and don't clear chats or reset it. Don't delete emails either, even the ones that look unhelpful.
• Stop credit notes and discounts on the disputed account. Each one changes the figure, and it may be read as an admission that the original amount wasn't due.
• Keep supplying only if that's a decision you've made. Sending more goods to a buyer who's defaulted only raises your exposure. If you're unsure, pause, and ask us at the meeting.
• Write the dates down while you still remember them. When the last delivery went. When the first complaint came. When payment was last promised. Memory fades fast once a dispute starts.

Who will you speak to first?

Often Advocate Sadhna Singh, who works on recovery and commercial court files day to day with Advocate B.K. Singh. She's usually the one who reads your papers closely before the meeting and follows up afterwards. Strategy, the choice of route and the important hearings are worked out with him. If you'd particularly like him at the first meeting, just say so when you book.

For cases outside Delhi NCR, the firm works with associate counsel in that state, and Supreme Court filings go through an Advocate-on-Record. The team page shows who's who. You'll always be told who's handling your file and who's appearing on a given date.

What happens after the consultation?

That's up to you. A few clients instruct the firm on the spot, while others want a week to talk to their partners or board first. If you go ahead, you'll sign a vakalatnama, which is the paper that lets an advocate appear for you in court. A company or LLP also gives a board resolution or authority letter. Fees get agreed in writing. Then the first step, be it a notice, a mediation application or a written statement, is fixed against whatever deadline came up at the meeting.

If you came for a second opinion on a case another lawyer is already handling, the advice may simply be that it's on track. Or it may point to something to do at the next hearing. Changing advocates mid-case is your call. It needs a fresh vakalatnama and, ordinarily, a no-objection from the earlier advocate or the court's leave, and it should be timed so no deadline slips during the handover.

If you'd like to understand the practice before booking, the guide on who Advocate BK Singh is explains how commercial files are approached, and the commercial court services page lists the kind of work handled. If you're ready to collect papers, our guide on what to bring to the first meeting lists them in detail.

Book now, while the dates are still yours

Most recovery and defence files that go wrong do it in the weeks before the first meeting. Not after. If your dispute is commercial and involves Rs 3 lakh or more, the overview of commercial court work shows where it's likely to end up.
