Welcome to LegalHelp.Tech This section provides clear, honest answers about the nature of this platform, the Advocate's expertise, and the legal services offered, all in compliance with professional ethical standards.

A. About LegalHelp.Tech and Ethical Compliance

Q1: Is this website soliciting (asking for) legal work or advertising services? A: No. This website is purely informational and educational. The content is strictly limited to factual details about the advocate's background, education, and practice areas. The advocate strictly complies with Rule 36 of the Bar Council of India (BCI), which prohibits solicitation, advertisement, inducement, or comparative claims. The site explicitly states it does not solicit legal work, advertise services, or guarantee results.

Q2: Why should I trust this platform and Advocate Tayade? A: Trust is fundamental to the practice. The advocate believes that law is a "noble service" and not a "business," asserting, "I am not a businessman and you are not a consumer". The commitment is to provide clear, honest legal guidance and uphold professional integrity by maintaining client confidentiality and strictly adhering to BCI guidelines.

Q3: Is the information on this website professional legal advice? A: No. The information provided here is for informational purposes only and is general in nature. It is not a substitute for professional legal advice specific to your unique case or facts. Every case requires individual assessment and specific analysis.

B. Expertise and Core Services

Q4: What makes Advocate Tayade uniquely qualified to handle modern legal problems? A: The advocate holds a unique dual expertise by blending technical and legal education. His educational background includes a Master's in Computer Applications (M.C.A.), a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.), and a Post Graduate Diploma in Cyber Law (P.G.D.C.L.). This combination allows him to understand complex technical evidence and translate it into legally admissible formats.

Q5: What are the primary areas of legal assistance provided? A: The practice specializes heavily in Digital Evidence Certification (40% expertise) and Cyber Law/Data Privacy. Services also cover:

Digital Evidence: Ensuring digital information (emails, chats, CCTV) is admissible in court.
Cyber Law & Data Privacy: Guidance on the IT Act (2000), Cyber Fraud Resolution, and DPDP Act (2023) compliance.
Integrated Litigation: Handling civil and criminal litigation, matrimonial law, and property disputes, especially where digital proof is crucial.

Q6: How can the Advocate help me use digital proof (like WhatsApp chats or photos) in court? A: The Advocate provides expert legal support to ensure your digital evidence is correctly proven and admissible. This includes:

Certification: Providing the required legal certificates, such as the Section 65B Certificate (Indian Evidence Act, 1872) or the Section 63 Certificate (Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023), required to make digital records legally valid.

Technical Verification: Ensuring that the digital evidence (such as texts, audio/video clips, or CCTV footage) is technically genuine and untampered

C. Consultation Process and Fees

Q7: How do I begin the process of seeking consultation or legal help? A: The consultation is a request for help, not an inducement from the advocate. You should send a brief message first (text, WhatsApp, or audio) clearly explaining your issue. This helps the Advocate understand the problem correctly before a full discussion begins.

Q8: How much does initial legal advice cost? A: The cost for Basic legal consultation (General Legal Advice) for common issues is Rs. 500. For cases that require in-depth analysis involving the review of 10 to 50 documents, the cost ranges from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 3,000. All fees are discussed openly and transparently after the initial message review and before any work starts.

Q9: When does the advocate-client relationship officially start? A: An official advocate-client relationship is not created simply by visiting the website, reading the content, or sending an initial inquiry. The professional commitment begins only after both parties agree to the terms of engagement and the client signs and safely delivers the Original Vakalatnama (the formal hard copy).

Q10: Can I seek guidance even if I already have a lawyer?A: Yes. You do not need to appoint the Advocate as your lawyer to receive guidance. He will provide legal direction and analysis while you continue your case with your current lawyer; this is often referred to as a "Legal Second Opinion" or "Law First Aid"

D. Data Privacy and Security

Q11: How is my personal data handled and kept secure? A: Your trust and privacy are paramount. This website is compliant with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023.

Consent: Data is collected only with your clear consent.
Purpose: Data is used only for the specific purpose of responding to your consultation request.

Security: Data is handled with the highest care, transparency, and security, and secure servers are used to protect your personal data.

Q12: What if I need to access or change the personal data I shared? A: Under the DPDP Act, you have specific rights regarding your data. You have the:

Right to Access: You can ask us if we hold your data and request a copy.
Right to Correction: You can ask us to correct any data about you that is wrong or incomplete.
Right to Erasure: You can ask us to delete your personal data (subject to legal retention rules).
