Criminal law is a broad field encompassing various types of offenses and legal procedures. Our practice is structured to provide specialized attention to different categories of criminal cases. We offer end-to-end legal services ranging from pre-litigation advisory to post-conviction appeals.
Our primary objective is to prevent the filing of false cases and, where cases are filed, to ensure they are quashed or result in an acquittal. We work closely with forensic experts, private investigators, and subject matter specialists to strengthen the defense strategy. Our services are not limited to individuals; we also represent corporations and directors facing criminal liability in white-collar crimes and regulatory offenses.
Our expertise spans the entire spectrum of criminal law. We have successfully defended clients in a wide array of matters, ensuring personalized strategies for each unique case type.
We specialize in defending complex financial crimes including money laundering (PMLA), corporate fraud, embezzlement, bribery, and tax evasion. These cases often involve voluminous documentation and require a keen understanding of both law and finance.
With the rise of digital technology, cyber crimes like hacking, identity theft, online financial fraud, and data breaches have become common. We provide expert defense under the IT Act, helping clients navigate technical evidence and digital forensics.
We handle serious charges related to bodily harm, including assault, murder, attempt to murder, and kidnapping. These cases require aggressive cross-examination and a deep understanding of medical jurisprudence.
We represent clients in cases involving dowry harassment (498A), domestic violence, sexual harassment (POSH), and POCSO Act matters. We handle these sensitive cases with the utmost confidentiality and care.
Cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act are stringent with tough bail conditions. Our lawyers are experts in challenging search and seizure procedures to protect clients from harsh penalties.
We handle cases under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act (Cheque Bounce) and other economic offenses, aiming for quick resolution or settlement to avoid criminal conviction for civil liabilities.
The Indian criminal justice system has undergone a historic transformation with the introduction of three new criminal laws that replaced the colonial-era statutes. As a forward-looking law firm, AMA Legal Solutions is fully equipped to handle cases under this new regime.
Replacing the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the BNS defines offenses and prescribes punishments. It introduces new categories of crimes such as organized crime and terrorism while modernizing definitions of existing offenses. Our lawyers are well-versed in the nuances of BNS to build effective defenses.
Replacing the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), the BNSS governs the procedural aspects of investigation, arrest, bail, and trial. It emphasizes the use of technology and sets timelines for investigations. We ensure that procedural lapses under BNSS are identified and used to your advantage.
Replacing the Indian Evidence Act, the BSA recognizes electronic and digital records as primary evidence. In an era of digital surveillance and cyber interactions, understanding the BSA is critical for challenging or admitting electronic evidence in court.
Understanding these new laws is vital because they change how bail is granted, how police can investigate, and what constitutes evidence. Our team stays ahead of the curve, constantly updating our knowledge base to provide the most accurate and effective legal representation.
We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every criminal case is unique, with its own set of facts and circumstances. Our defense strategy is meticulous and multi-layered.
The first few hours after an incident or arrest are critical. We provide immediate legal counsel to prevent self-incrimination. We advise clients on how to interact with law enforcement and, if necessary, file for anticipatory bail to prevent arrest.
We conduct a thorough review of the FIR, police reports, and witness statements. We don't just rely on the police version; we conduct our own investigation, interview witnesses, and gather exculpatory evidence to challenge the prosecution's narrative.
Whether it is arguing for bail, framing of charges, or final arguments, our courtroom advocacy is sharp and persuasive. We focus on dismantling the prosecution's case by highlighting inconsistencies, procedural errors, and lack of evidence.
If a trial court verdict is unfavorable, the battle is not over. We are experts in criminal appeals. We meticulously examine trial records to find grounds for appeal and represent clients in High Courts and the Supreme Court to seek justice.
Securing bail is often the most immediate concern for anyone accused of a crime. Freedom is a fundamental right, and we work tirelessly to restore it. We handle all types of bail applications:
Our track record in securing bail, even in serious non-bailable offenses, speaks to our deep understanding of bail jurisprudence and our ability to present compelling arguments to the court.

If an FIR is registered against you, it is crucial to stay calm and seek legal counsel immediately. Do not evade the police as it can complicate your case. Contact a criminal lawyer to understand the nature of the charges. Depending on the offense, you may need to apply for anticipatory bail to prevent arrest. Your lawyer will guide you on how to cooperate with the investigation while protecting your rights against self-incrimination.
Anticipatory Bail is sought before an arrest is made, when a person apprehends arrest for a non-bailable offense. It acts as a pre-arrest legal protection. Regular Bail, on the other hand, is applied for after a person has already been arrested and is in police or judicial custody. Both require a court order, but the timing and legal arguments differ significantly.
Certain criminal offenses are 'compoundable' under the law, meaning they can be settled between the parties with or without the permission of the court. These usually include minor offenses or private disputes. However, serious offenses like murder, rape, or dacoity are non-compoundable and cannot be settled out of court. A criminal lawyer can advise if your specific case qualifies for compounding or quashing via the High Court.
The duration of a criminal trial in India varies widely depending on the complexity of the case, the number of witnesses, and the court's backlog. It can range from a few years to over a decade. However, with effective legal representation, the process can be expedited through timely filing of applications and efficient cross-examination. Fast-track courts also exist for specific types of heinous crimes.
An arrested person has several fundamental rights including the right to know the grounds of arrest, the right to consult a lawyer of their choice, the right to be produced before a magistrate within 24 hours, and the right to silence to avoid self-incrimination. The police cannot use third-degree methods or torture. Violation of these rights can be challenged in court.
Yes, our legal team is fully updated with the new criminal laws introduced in India, namely the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA). We provide legal defense and advice based on these latest statutes that have replaced the IPC, CrPC, and Evidence Act respectively.
During a police investigation, a criminal lawyer ensures that the police follow due process. They can be present during interrogations to prevent coercion, help in drafting replies to police notices, file applications for the preservation of evidence, and move the court for monitoring the investigation if the police are biased or inactive.
Generally, having a pending criminal case does not automatically disqualify you from applying for a government job, but you must disclose it in your application. However, appointment may be withheld until acquittal. If convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, you may be permanently disqualified. It is best to consult a lawyer to understand the specific service rules applicable to your situation.
Section 498A of the IPC (now covered under BNS) deals with cruelty to a woman by her husband or his relatives. It is often a non-bailable offense. Defense strategies include seeking anticipatory bail, proving false allegations through evidence like chats or location data, and seeking quashing of the FIR in the High Court if the complaint is frivolous or malicious.
The cost of hiring a criminal lawyer varies based on the lawyer's experience, the complexity of the case, and the court where the matter is pending. Fees may be charged per hearing or as a lump sum for the entire case. At AMA Legal Solutions, we offer transparent pricing and discuss the fee structure clearly during the initial consultation.
