Roopa Agarwal unethical behaviour — seeking sexual favors

I met lawyer Roopa Agarwal on 4th November 2016 at her office in B-105, Diwani Nyayalya, Lucknow. I paid her Rs 25, 000 as the first installment, out of a total of Rs 55, 000 for the full case. After the second hearing on April 3, 2018, she called me to her chamber. When I went there she asked for a sexual favor. I was aghast and dumbfounded. I told her that I am only 23, and she seems to be well over 45. At least this age difference should have prevented her from making this unreasonable request. She said it was precisely because I was so young that she was asking me for this favor. I refused. She did not attend the third hearing.

I had a similar experience, Gopal. But there was a small difference. My second installment of Rs 25, 000 was due for payment on January 17, 2018. When I approached Rooopa Agarwal in her cabin B-105, Deewani Nyayalya, Lucknow, around 3 pm to tell her that I was not able to make the payment then and I should get about two-week extension, she called me around 6 pm to her cabin. When I went there at 6 pm, she asked me to wait for an hour, because she needed to talk to me something privately. After two hours of wait, she again attended to me, when everybody seemed to have left. She asked for sexual favor in lieu of granting me two-week extension for payment. To tell you honestly, I obliged.

Thanks, Gopal and Deepak, for sharing your experiences that you had with Roopa Agarwal. Her strategy is first to get a client tied up to her by charging fees, some genuine and some illegal, and then seek sexual favors. Why not make complaints about her to the Bar Council of India, the Chief Justice of India, and the Ministry of Law? Such corrupt and sex-starved people like Roopa Agarwal should be debarred from practicing law. People like her will debase whatever little prestige is left of lawyers.

I fully agree with Milind Goswami. I myself have been a victim of this wicked, greedy, and sexually-starved woman Roopa Agarwal. But I prefer not narrating my experience in a public forum.

Roopa Agarwal unethical behaviour — charging money both from client and opponent

May I use this forum to make a complaint against Roopa Agarwal, Lucknow-based lawyer with her office at B-105, Diwani Courts, Lucknow. I had marital problems with my husband and we started living separately. I approached Roopa Agarwal on September 23, 2017 at her office seeking legal help in getting monthly monetary support from my husband. She charged me Rs 75, 000 for the whole case. However, I could sense that she showed least interest in pursuing the case. It so transpired that after six months of persistent efforts of my family members and my husband's family members, my husband and I started living together again. I was truly shocked when my husband informed me that during the period of our hostilities he had come to know that I had hired the services of Roopa Agarwal and had approached her to ensure the case did not go in my favor. Roopa Agarwal charged him Rs 30, 000 for her services.
When I asked her to return my money, she replied there is no question of paying the money back. She is an absolutely characterless person, , with no professional ethics or discipline. I am sharing my experience here so that innocent people who might want to deal with her can have second thoughts.

Roopa Agarwal fraudulent charging, and services not given after charging fees

I have a complaint against Roopa Agarwal, a Lucknow-based lawyer with her office at B-105, Diwani Nyayalaya, Lucknow. On 3rd April 2017 I approached her to represent me in a case pertaining to women harassment at work. Roopa claims her speciality is in fighting such cases. She charged me Rs 5100 as vakalatnama charges, over and above Rs 71, 000 for fighting the whole case. I found that she was never attending my case but sending a very junior lawyer who could hardly speak in the court. I protested and asked her to attend the case herself. She rudely replied that I need not teach her. We had some arguments on this issue. Subsequently, she did not send anybody to attend to my case in the court. I approached her and told her that I was hiring another lawyer and she must return a good part of the money I had paid her. She refuses to return the money, saying that it was I who had broken the relationship with her by haggling over whom to send in the court.
I am to caution people against Roopa. She is a corrupt, unethical, dishonest and totally unreliable person, with no business ethics at all. I wonder whether anyone can help me with info as to how I can get my money back from her.

I too would like to share my experiences about this lawyer Ms Roopa Agarwal. After I paid "full and final" fees of Rs 75, 000 to her in June 2017, she charged me Rs 5100 vakalatnama charges, Rs 1100 thrice as standing charges, Rs 11, 000 as revision charges, and one more charge not mentioned in the communications above. This was car-repair charge of Rs 21000. She said that when she was going to the court to represent me, on the way one wheel of her car went into a deep pothole causing lot of damage to the car and I should bear part of the expenditure, and my share was Rs 2100. I paid all the charges till she asked me for car-repair charges. Then she stopped attending to my hearings in the court. I hope innocents like me don't get trapped into any kind of deal with her.

Was it Rs 21, 000 or Rs 2, 100, Jyotsna? Please be sure. In matters such as these, we need to be very careful when reporting. Obviously, this is a typo, but it does create doubt. Anyway, you are not the only person complaining against Roopa Agarwal. This lawyer has not only cheated her clients by asking for charges that are totally unknown even in a profession like law where most people lie, but also she has been asking for sexual favors from her clients. There are a lot of complaints about Roopa Agarwal on the Net.

Roopa Agarwal should immediately be arrested and put behind bars. She is not only a disgrace to her profession but also a disgrace to society, and womanhood in particular. Her lies and lecher make her unfit for living in society.

What with Ms Roopa Agarwal's vakalatnama charges, standing charges, double-reading charges, revision charges, there are more tricky charges that she levies on clients after taking "full and final" payment. Have you ever heard of "late night charges" and "extreme temperature charges"? After taking the "full and final" payment of Rs 55, 000 for my case, which was paid to her by cheque on December 23, 2017, she charged me Rs 2, 500 as "late night charges" because she says she had to stay put in the court for late hours during the day as the judge decided to continue to work after normal office hours to dispose off hearings. Besides, she charged me Rs 2, 500 as "extreme temperature charges" because she says one day she had to leave her home very early in the morning in extreme wintry condition because my case was listed first in the cause list. I have not yet gone to another lawyer because I have paid "full and final" payment of Rs 55, 000 to Ms Roopa Agarwal. But after reading the comments of her client victims, I am seriously considering ending my relationship with her. But what happens to the payment that I have already made to her?

Gulshan, I too am a victim of Roopa Agarwal. She asked for Rs 65, 000 as "full and final" payment. I requested her to accept the money in three installments. I paid the first installment of Rs 30, 000 by cheque in her office at B-105, Diwani Nyayalaya, Lucknow. The next two installments were to be paid on reaching some particular landmarks in the case. She sent a very junior person for the first hearing. When I protested, she said that as I had not made the full payment, she would be sending only her juniors. I protested. She did not end anybody during the second hearing, nor did she herself attend. I protested again. She reiterated that I need to make the full payment to get the best out of her, or I was free to hire another lawyer. I told her that I am willing to hire another lawyer if she were to return my money. She did not return the money nor she is attending the case.

Lawyers do try to squeeze out money from clients on some pretext or the other, that has been my experience with lawyers. But Roopa Agarwal has broken all the bad records of lawyers by the kind of extra fees that she imposes upon hapless clients who happen to go to her for legal services. I have no personal experience with Roopa Agarwal. But all the reports appearing on various complaint sites have spoken vociferously about her greed and unethical practices. Will the Bar Council of India investigate these cases and do the needful.

Besides the above charges, this crook Roopa Agarwal charges her clients what she calls as "standing charges". When dealing with my case, she asked me once to pay Rs 2, 500 as "standing charges" because she was not able to get a seat to sit in the courtroom, and, as per her, she had to stand for nearly an hour before her turn came to argue my case. I became so fed up of the extra charges that would now and then creep up on some pretext or the other that I discontinued using her services in spite of the payments made to her. Needless to say, she did not return any money to me. Roopa Agarwal is a corrupt, irresponsible, unethical and totally unprofessional person, who should be avoided at all costs.

This Roopa Agarwal is an incorrigible fraudster. In fact I was about to use her services when somebody guided me to the loads of complaints posted against her on the Net, and I decided not to use her services. Her greed and wickedness have led many to shell out money to her for unheard of things like "vakalatnama charges, " "double reading charges, " "revision charges, " and so on. Just do some research on the Net and you will see how she has cheated people. The worst part of her characterlessness is that after charging money she does not appear for hearing. I think her victims should form an association to get their monies back and also to bring to light her unethical activities.
