Criminal defence attorney in Pune with 5+ years of practice at Bombay High Court. Dedicated to justice, honesty, and results.
I am Advocate Akash R. Chikate, a criminal defence attorney enrolled at the Bombay High Court and practicing before the District & Sessions Court, Family Court, and Consumer Court in Pune. Over the course of 5+ years, I have represented individuals, families, and businesses in matters ranging from bail applications and FIR quashing to cybercrime defence, divorce proceedings, and corporate legal disputes.
My approach to law is rooted in three principles: Honesty — I give you the real picture of your case from day one. Clarity — I explain the law in plain language so you always know where you stand. Commitment — I fight for your rights with everything I have, in court and beyond.
