What Kind of Help Do You Need?
What's Happening in Your Case Right Now?
Criminal matters move fast, and what helps depends on exactly where things stand - here's what separates the three most common situations.
Arrested or About to Be
Bail and anticipatory bail
If you've been arrested, or believe arrest is likely, a lawyer can apply for bail or anticipatory bail. Getting a lawyer involved early keeps more options open.
Best for: Anyone facing arrest or already in custody.
FIR Filed or Under Investigation
Responding to an FIR, or getting it quashed
An FIR doesn't mean the case is settled against you. A lawyer can advise on responding to investigation, or petition the Bombay High Court to quash the FIR if the facts don't support it.
Best for: Anyone named in an FIR or under police investigation.
Going to Trial or Already in Court
Trial defense, representation, and appeals
Once a case reaches trial at the Shivaji Nagar Sessions Court or your local Magistrate court, you need representation through the process, and if needed, an appeal.
Best for: Anyone already facing charges in court.
Not sure which one fits? You don't have to figure it out alone.

How to Choose the Right Lawyer
How to Choose the Right Criminal Lawyer in Pune
The question isn't just who's a good lawyer - it's who can act at the speed and court level your matter needs.
Confirm court-level experience
A lawyer who mainly handles Magistrate-level bail may not be right for a Sessions Court trial - ask directly.
Ask about urgency and availability
If your matter is urgent, confirm the lawyer can act within your timeline.
Get a clear fee structure upfront
Ask exactly what stage the fee covers - bail only, or the full matter through trial.
Ask for realistic outcomes, not reassurance
A lawyer who gives you a clear-eyed view of what's likely is worth more than one who overpromises.
Every criminal lawyer on Leadzo who contacts you has confirmed their practice area before responding.
Verification
How Leadzo Verifies Criminal Lawyers
Verification confirms identity and stated practice area - it does not guarantee bail, an acquittal, or any case outcome.
- Matter type and urgency reviewed
- Professionals see your situation and how urgent it is before they respond to your requirement.
- Contact verified, enrolment flagged for independent checking
- Every responding lawyer is OTP-verified, but Leadzo doesn't itself verify Bar enrolment - confirm this directly before sharing case details.
Confirm the advocate's Bar Council of Maharashtra & Goa enrolment and Sessions or High Court experience relevant to your offence. Never pay an advance fee for a promised outcome.
