Posted by Jagruti | July 22, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent attorney

I retained Nirm for my highly contentious post-divorce parenting time issue. In the past I had retained a few attorneys, but Nirm was the only attorney that exceeded my expectations and provided competent counsel that produced the results my child and I needed. I recommend him 100 percent. Nirm was e...xceptional in his legal knowledge, courtroom presence, appropriately setting my expectations and getting me my parenting time that my ex was opposed to. I hired another firm for my initial divorce and paid for that mistake in the long-run with incompetent counsel. After hiring Nirm post-divorce, I was able to see the difference and there is no comparison, he is 100% dedicated to the the needs of his clients. Divorce is an emotional process with lasting implications. Definitely do your due diligence when hiring any firm to represent your interests and choose the one that is best for you. I can honestly say that Nirm was worth every dime and was the very best for me. I highly recommend him.

Great at what he does...

Nirm was awesome throughout my entire case! I had an extremely complex case and he helped to keep things on track. Although the other side was not playing fair, Nirm was strategic and thoughtful in our appoach. He ended up getting me 50/50 joint custody of my kids, which even the judge noted in my... order, was extremely rare for a father to get. Nirm has the ability to make tough concepts easier to understand, especially when so much is personally invested. I was better able to navigate what was really important and let go of those things that would not help my case as much. He was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely refer him to anyone who was in need of his services. Not to mention, he has a great sense of humor and was extremely easy to talk to from the start. His vast experience shined through in every aspect of my case. I think I ended up the best position possible given my circumstances. Thank you to Nirm and his office for all they have done.

I didn't know lawyers like this even existed!

Nirm is unbelievable. My case was very complicated because it involved custody issues with my grandson, DYFS, law guardians, a heroin-addicted daughter, biological father, paternal grandparents, & blah blah blah! I called Nirm's law office on a SUNDAY no less, & Cara Corbo responded immediately & ...put Nirm on the case. How he gathered this group of characters together by Monday morning for an emergency hearing I'll never know, but he did & the case was decided in my favor. Nirm's only drawback is that he is TOO knowledgeable & will sometimes grow short on patience, but he will never throw you under the bus. He's pricey, but worth every penny. The old saying is true - you get what you pay for!

Best lawyer I have worked with hands down

Nirm was amazing. Right from the get go he was friendly, straight forward, honest, and helpful. He told me what my legal options were, but more importantly he told me truthfully and honestly what he would do, and what would be the most cost effective option for me with my divorce. Throughout the pr...ocess he was always easily reached through email or phone call, I can't remember ever waiting more then a day to get a response from him in fact most of the time I was able to reach him immediately or within 20 minutes. He truly made my divorce more manageable taking almost all the stress off me and made the process smooth and speedy. I would advise anyone looking for a great divorce attorney to meet with him and see for yourself. I honestly can't speak highly enough for Nirm.

Exceptional Divorce Lawyer. One of the best in the area.

My case was very complicated as it was a short marriage but with significant international divorce law and immigration issues. After suffering through a bad experience with another lawyer who did not understand the subtleties in my case, I asked around for lawyer recommendations and finally decided t...o approach Nirm (The person that recommended him was a lawyer herself and had a high opinion of Nirm). I started feeling optimistic right from the first meeting as he listened patiently to my story and asked questions very relevant to my situation. The meeting was a big relief in what was otherwise a very difficult and emotional period for me. Over the next few months, he spoke with immigration experts and consulted with divorce lawyers conversant with divorce law in my home country. He suggested a course of action that targeted all the problems in my case and negotiated ably with my ex-wife's divorce attorney. He drafted a concise and intelligent document that phrased my story and problems effectively and presented it to the panel. The hearing was favorable for me and I finally found a good solution to my complicated problem with all its knots. I look back and I am amazed at how clean the solution was. This would not have been possible with a lesser lawyer. I wholeheartedly recommend Nirm. You will get to work with a lawyer who is very capable and is also empathetic towards your problems.
