Advocate Waqas Asghar Mohla is the founder of Waqas Law Firm and leads the firm’s practice before the courts at Gujrat. His work spans criminal defence, civil litigation, family matters, property disputes, corporate advisory and constitutional cases before the High Court.
His approach to a case is consistent regardless of its size: understand the facts thoroughly before forming a view, tell the client honestly where they stand, and then prepare the matter properly. Clients are given a realistic assessment rather than an encouraging one, because a strategy built on an inaccurate picture of the case rarely survives contact with the court.


The firm combines legal expertise with ethical advocacy and personal attention. What that means in practice is set out below.
Every client receives individual attention and a legal strategy built around their specific matter, not a template.
Clear, realistic opinions without false assurances. You are told where your case is weak, not only where it is strong.
Careful drafting, prepared arguments and consistent follow-through in court — with the record examined before the hearing.
Focused on solutions that protect long-term interests, including when the better outcome is a settlement rather than a suit.
Confidentiality, integrity and respect form the foundation of the practice and govern how every matter is handled.
Legal position and next steps explained in plain language, so you can make informed decisions about your own case.
Every matter follows the same disciplined sequence, so you always know what stage your case is at and what happens next.
Understanding the facts, the risks and your legal position.
The first meeting is about establishing what actually happened and what the documents show. We identify the legal questions your matter raises, the forum it belongs in, and any time limits that are already running.
Clear options with an honest legal opinion.
You are told where your position is strong, where it is weak, and what the realistic routes forward are — including whether litigation is the right one. No assurances are given about outcomes, because no advocate controls how a court decides.
Effective drafting, advocacy and follow-up.
Pleadings and applications are drafted carefully, the record is prepared before each hearing, and the matter is argued on the grounds that actually carry weight. Follow-up between hearings is part of the work, not an afterthought.
Keeping you informed and involved throughout.
You are told what happened at each hearing, what it means for your case and what the next step is. Decisions that belong to you are put to you clearly, with the consequences of each option explained.
Concluding the matter, or advising on what follows.
When a matter concludes, we explain what the outcome means in practice — whether that is execution of a decree, compliance with an order, an available appeal, or steps to prevent the same dispute recurring.
Plain-English explanations of common legal procedures in Pakistan — written to help you understand your position before you walk into an office.
A first consultation is far more useful when you arrive prepared. Here is what to bring, how to set out your matter, and the questions worth asking before you engage anyone.
Civil litigation follows a defined sequence, and knowing it makes the process far less opaque. This guide walks through each stage, and explains why limitation and execution deserve attention from the outset.
Most property litigation traces back to a purchase where nothing was verified before the money changed hands. This guide sets out what to check, in what order, and why an agreement to sell is not ownership.
The questions people most often ask before arranging a first consultation.
You can call the office on 0300 8621192, send a message on WhatsApp, email waqaslawfirm@gmail.com, or complete the consultation form on this website. Please include a short outline of your matter and the type of legal issue involved, so that the right time can be set aside for it.
Bring every document connected to the matter: agreements, receipts, bank records, any legal notice sent or received, court papers already served on you, an FIR copy if there is one, and identity documents. Originals are preferable, and putting the papers in date order makes the meeting considerably more productive.
Matters are handled by Advocate Waqas Asghar Mohla, the firm’s founder. You deal with the advocate conducting your case rather than being passed between people.
No. The outcome of a case rests with the court, and no advocate can control or promise it. You should treat any guarantee of a result with caution. What a lawyer is responsible for is the quality of preparation, the soundness of the advice and the diligence with which the matter is pursued.
The firm’s practice is centred on Gujrat and the District Courts there. It also appears in appellate and constitutional matters arising from the district, which are heard by the Lahore High Court at its Gujranwala Bench. If you are outside these areas, contact the office and you will be told directly whether the firm can assist.
Bring your documents and get a clear, honest assessment of where you stand — and what your realistic options are.
Contacting the firm does not by itself create a lawyer-client relationship. Please do not send confidential information until a relationship has been established.
The office is at Bar Plaza, opposite the General Post Office — a short walk from the court buildings themselves.
