    Asoka Law is responsible for clearly explaining our consulting contents to clients - for issues answered in our consultation letters. Hence, questions to clarify consulted matters are free of charge. However, if you open up new issues, then we will charge extra fees equivalent to asking new questions.

    Can I request Asoka's lawyers to answers questions faster than the time regulated?

    With our Detailed Consultation Package, our response time is up to 02 days upon receiving payment. If you need an earlier reply, please note clearly so we can consider prioritizing your request. However, we will compare your actual situation to others for proper judgement and decision making. Priority is only given when it does not affect other clients' rights and interests.

    Direct Consultation
    Do I need to come to Asoka's office for a Direct Consultation?

    No need. There are three forms of direct counseling at Asoka Law that you can choose: (1) telephone consultation; (2) consulting through online calling apps/extensions like viber, zalo, and google meet; (3) direct meeting with Asoka's lawyers at our office. In case you prefer meeting our lawyers outside, please pay travel expenses so that our lawyers can move to the locations you requested.

    What are advantages of Direct Consultation package compared to other consulting packages?

    There are 3 main advantages: (1) you can directly interact with our lawyers; when having conversation, you can constantly ask new questions for our lawyers to answer, so you will receive the most suitable solutions for your problems. (2) Time waiting for arrangement is shorter compared to other packages: only up to 01 day since payment. (3) Although its face value is higher than the other consulting packages, the benefits it provides are better; hence, in a sense, this is the most economical consulting package out of the 03.

    Can I choose a specific Lawyer for my problems?

    Definitely. You can request the lawyer you want from Asoka's lawyers list. However, in case your chosen lawyer cannot follow your requested consulting schedule, we may arrange another attorney with experience at your questions to help. We are responsible for ensuring consultation quality provided by our lawyers.

    Use of Services
    Can I pay service fee after receiving consultation from Asoka Law?

    No, you cannot. Due to the nature of consulting, lawyers are required to study documents provided before giving consultation. Hence, a advance payment regime is applied in order to pay lawyers for reviewing and studying documents. Therefore, you are required to pay service fees upon submitting questions to our lawyers.

    If I have already paid for 2 hours of consultation but just used 1 hour, can I reserve the consulting hour?

    Yes, you can. The remaining consulting hour(s) shall be reserved within 03 months from the date of payment. When you need to receive consultation, please request in advance so that we can arrange a suitable lawyer for your case.

    Can I be with my friends and relatives when receiving Asoka's consultation?

    Yes, as long as you take responsibility for the confidentiality of information related to your case. Please inform our staff in advance to facilitate seating arrangements for the additional number of accompanying passengers.
