FJ Legal was founded on a simple premise: that sound legal counsel should be rigorous, honest and within reach.

Led by Advocate Franklin Jose, the firm advises individuals, families and businesses across Bangalore on criminal, civil, property and commercial matters. Every engagement begins with a candid assessment of the case — what is strong, what is exposed, and what a realistic outcome looks like — before a single document is filed.

The firm's practice spans contentious litigation and the quieter, equally consequential work of documentation: agreements, registrations and compliance that prevent disputes from arising in the first place.

Legal Insights

Questions people bring to us before they bring a case

Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often, in plain English.

A civil case is a dispute between two parties — over money, property or a contract — where the remedy is usually compensation or a court order. A criminal case is brought by the state against a person accused of an offence, and the outcome can include punishment. The civil case definition centres on private rights; a criminal case centres on public wrong.
Under the Indian Contract Act, an agreement is every promise, or set of promises, forming the consideration for each other. Not every agreement is enforceable in law — an agreement becomes a contract only once it satisfies conditions like free consent, lawful consideration and the capacity of the parties involved.
DRT stands for Debt Recovery Tribunal, established under the DRT Act to help banks and financial institutions recover unpaid loans faster than ordinary civil courts allow. We assist clients in tracking DRT case status, appearing on the DRT cause list, and responding to recovery proceedings.
The Commercial Courts Act, 2015 set up dedicated commercial courts to resolve high-value commercial disputes faster, with streamlined procedure and defined timelines. It applies to specified categories of commercial disputes above a stated threshold value.
The Registration Act requires certain documents — including most sale deeds — to be registered with the local Registration Department to be legally valid against third parties. The process involves document verification, payment of stamp duty and registration fees, and issuance of a registration certificate. We guide clients through each stage.
A consumer forum is a quasi-judicial body set up to hear complaints from consumers about defective goods or deficient services, offering a faster and less formal route than civil court. We help clients draft and file consumer complaints and represent them through hearings.
