Great Lawyer & honest

Nirm has been representing me for almost 2 years now on a custody dispute that is still ongoing. I have to say his performance in court is outstanding. He will definitely fight for you, but what I absolutely love about him is he will be very honest with you. I definitely appreciate his work ethics an...d very proud to have him advocate on my behalf.

Pulled me from the deep

To start with I had a situation with the mother of my son that two other lawyers couldn’t resolve. This man Nirm, my lawyer, is level headed professional, sharp as a knife, and has a voice that god gave him to be a lawyer! Back to the knife in my side, my ex would keep my son from me and this has be...en going on for a few years. Nirm took control, got the judges attention and cleared things up! I was not feeling good about anything until Nirmalan plowed through all the court jargon and I was on my way to seeing my boy again. You want a voice for your hard times, don’t be a fool and go with the other guy. Nirmalan is as great as they come! A fighter for fairness, and results and equality. You have his name now call him, I did, life is great again. Thanks Nirm !!!!

Best lawyer I have ever had

I had a very important custody case from the moment I reached out to Nirm and explained what was happening he was there. We were on the path together every step of the way. I know it’s about getting paid, but he was different he listened, understood, and completed the task at hand in a timely manne...r. Even with the pandemic upon us and everything limited the task was completed. I am very satisfied and I highly recommend him to be your lawyer. Nirmalan Nagulendran

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.
