Advocate
Helee K. Thaker
Thaker Associates is based in Vadsar, Vadodara. The firm advises clients on disputes and documents across criminal, civil, family and commercial law.
Many people first contact an advocate at a difficult moment: a police notice, a legal notice, a dishonoured cheque, a family breakdown or a dispute over property. The firm's approach is to understand the facts thoroughly, explain the law and the realistic options plainly, and then act on the course you choose.

The firm's work is organised into three groups. Each area has its own page explaining what it covers, how the process generally works and the main laws involved.
Representation from the first information report through bail, trial and High Court proceedings.

Marriage, separation, maintenance and protection matters, and the planning of personal affairs.
