Taibjee & Bhalla Advocates LLP

To make the most of your first consultation, please bring the following documents:

• Identification: Valid government-issued ID (passport, national ID, or driver's license)
• Relevant Contracts: Any agreements, contracts, or legal documents related to your matter
• Correspondence: Letters, emails, or communications with other parties
• Court Documents: If applicable, any court papers, summons, or legal notices you've received
• Financial Records: Bank statements, receipts, or financial documents if relevant to your case
• Timeline of Events: A written chronology of important dates and events

Don't worry if you don't have all documents - we can work with what you have and advise on obtaining missing documentation. Our goal is to understand your situation thoroughly to provide the best legal guidance.

We believe in transparent pricing and will always discuss fees upfront. Our fee structures include:

• Hourly Rates: For complex matters requiring ongoing legal work, we charge competitive hourly rates based on the attorney's experience level
• Flat Fees: For routine matters like contract drafting, document review, or standard legal procedures
• Contingency Fees: For certain litigation cases, we may work on a contingency basis where fees are only paid if we win your case
• Retainer Agreements: For ongoing legal representation, we may require a retainer to secure our services

We provide detailed fee estimates in writing and will never surprise you with unexpected charges. Payment plans may be available for qualifying clients. Our initial consultation fee is often credited toward your total legal fees if you retain our services.

Legal timelines depend on several factors, and we'll provide realistic expectations based on your specific situation:

• Simple Matters: Document drafting, contract review, or basic legal advice typically take 1-4 weeks
• Moderate Complexity: Property transactions, business formations, or uncontested matters may take 1-6 months
• Complex Litigation: Court cases can take 6 months to several years depending on the complexity and court schedules
• Appeals: Appellate processes typically add 6-18 months to the timeline

Factors affecting timelines include court availability, opposing party cooperation, document discovery requirements, and case complexity. We'll keep you informed throughout the process and provide regular updates on progress. Our experienced team works efficiently to resolve matters as quickly as possible while ensuring thorough representation.

Absolutely! We understand that in-person meetings aren't always convenient or possible. We offer flexible consultation options:

• Video Consultations: Secure video conferencing through platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet
• Phone Consultations: Traditional phone calls for clients who prefer voice-only communication
• In-Person Meetings: Face-to-face consultations at our Nairobi office for those who prefer personal interaction
• Hybrid Approach: Combination of virtual and in-person meetings as needed throughout your case

Virtual consultations are just as effective as in-person meetings for most legal matters. We use secure, encrypted platforms to protect your confidentiality. You can share documents electronically, and we'll provide the same level of professional service regardless of the meeting format. Simply let us know your preference when scheduling, and we'll accommodate your needs.
