The Principal Advocate
Led personally by Advocate Vivekanand.
As Founder and Principal Advocate, Advocate Vivekanand handles the firm's criminal matters personally: bail, quashing and appeals before the Patna High Court; trials and bail before the Motihari District Court; and white-collar and economic-offence cases, where the record is largely financial.
His academic background spans literature, management and law. The firm's approach rests on careful reading of the record, including accounts and bank statements where a case turns on them, clear explanation of procedure, and honest discussion of what a matter may involve. Matrimonial, family and school-compliance work is handled by his partner, Advocate Dolly Shrivastava, a family law practitioner.

Professional profile
A criminal-law practice built on preparation and plain speaking.
Advocate Vivekanand is the Founder and Principal Advocate of Vivekanand Law Firm, Motihari. His practice is criminal law (bail and anticipatory bail, quashing, criminal appeals and trials) before the Patna High Court and the Motihari District Court, together with white-collar and economic-offence cases. He has been in practice since {{ firm.practiceSince }}.
He holds a Master of Arts in English, a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws, and writes on law and legal awareness. That combination informs how he works: close reading of the record, including accounts and bank statements where a case turns on them, and drafting that a court and a client can follow.
Clients who approach the firm are often dealing with an FIR, an arrest in the family, a summons from an investigating agency or a business relationship that has broken down. In each case the starting point is the same: understand the facts and the record, identify the applicable law and procedural stage, and set out the options honestly, including their limits.
