Advocate

1. Exchanging contact details between Members of the Bar is usual practice nothing wrong could be attributed in such exchange of contact details.

I disagree to my Uncle Tajobs as he comes from the same breed of members of the bar and hence would call it usual practise.  As a matter of fact these so called corrupt lawyers drag on your case for years as its their profession to make money ,the longer the case the more the money  The good lawyers are a breed apart they fight with dignity and truth and my uncle Tajobs is one of them .

2. To test tell point blank to your current advocate that "you are having affair with another woman and she wants to marry you". Bingo ! Then keep quite and if in due course of next couple of hearings if you ever hear opposite party advocate alleging same then your apprehension proves right otherwise para 1 is generic.

Never ever follow my Uncles point blank bulls eye target of mentioning a affair or you plan to get married or you plan to go abroad . 

Reason being your own advocate would request you to pay so and so amount and  come to a settlement.Out of which both the lawyers would have their cuts if they are hand in glove . My Advise is spend a lot of time on Uncle Tajobs posts old posts  gain knowledge .you dont need to be a lawyer he explains each and every point in detail read Indian penal code , CRPC evidence act or which ever case you are into like DV act etc .Involve yourself into it argue with your current lawyer on the points you are uncomfortable with ,make your applications , written arguments  if you own lawyer is opposing you approach another 2 lawyers also heed their advise and than decide wether to trust your lawyer or not .

If my uncle feels hurt with the above post i apoligise for the same and once again conclude that he is a breed apart and give's  the best of advise .
