Megha Rasik Thakkar

One word to describe my experience with Megha and the services she provided me as my lawyer, would be EXCELLENT! A friend had recommended Megha to me and with my first initial consultation, I was grateful for the recommendation. Through an extremely tough divorce, Megha provided compassion and cari...ng in helping me understand the complete divorce process. In speaking with Megha throughout the process, she provided exceptional knowledge of the law and court proceedings which assured me I had the best legal representation. Megha provided valuable, cost effective legal advice and addressed all my concerns in a timely manner with reasonable solutions. Thanks to her tough negotiations, I was able to maintain full ownership of my house which I went into the marriage with. Even after my divorce was finalized, I had again obtained Megha for representation in filing motions with the courts. Her reasonable rates, her compassion with her clients situations, her knowledge of the law and her ability to put her clients best interest first are the outstanding qualities you would want in a lawyer representing you. Would I recommend Megha to others in need of an exceptional lawyer, yes I would and I have to several people already! Megha provided me with more than I ever expected from a lawyer and helped me through a difficult divorce with great end results.

I hired Megha after conducting lot of attorney research for my divorce case. I had a very complex custody situation and the case prolonged for more than 2 years. Megha handled my case very professionally and always has given me the best advice through out. She always listens to the facts and gives a ...candid assessment of the probable outcomes and very factual in terms of advising even though it was not what I wanted to hear at times. She is the best and I would hire her again. I strongly recommend her for complex divorce and custody matters.

They don't come better than Megha! She is extremely knowledgeable, always steered me in the right direction, kept me calm when needed and always had me and my family's best interests at heart. Her knowledge of the law and my case was impressive. I was truly blessed in finding her for my situation. ... Truly one of the best!

Thank you Ms. Thakkar. Ms. Thakkar was the third attorney I hired in my contentious, lengthy divorce. I found Ms. Thakkar kept me informed with weekly conference calls through the process, providing me with valuable, cost-effective legal advice, while listening to my concerns. My prior attorneys c...harged me an arm and a leg, while getting me nowhere, likely looking at the substantial assets I had to pay their bills. Meanwhile, Ms. Thakkar provided me with reasonable solutions to the complex issues in my divorce, including distribution of my business, alimony, and custody and parenting time of my two children. Thanks to her, my former spouse and I share equal time with our children, where my prior attorneys did not seem to take me seriously when I voiced my desire to have substantial parenting time as a father. I paid her only a fraction of what I paid each of my prior two attorneys, and ended up with real results. I would recommend her to anyone.

The Law Offices of Edward R. Weinstein appointed this so-called “senior” associate attorney (Megha Rasik Thakkar) with merely three years of law-practicing experiences to my case, and the experience is a total disappointment. Instead of being "aggressive, honest, and experienced", as touted on their ...website, this appointed lawyer did exactly the opposite under the guidance of the firm's owner, a so-called 18-year veteran. Giving me a retainer that says covers all matters related to a divorce, as confirmed by the appointed lawyer, but later requiring separate retainers for related issues; telling me “I was in court two weeks in a row” when asked about why she delayed a response to me for two weeks about the retainer issue; charging me twice for reading the same court transcript by renaming it. INCOMPETENT & INEXPERIENCED - under the guidance of the firm’s owner, this so-called “senior” associate attorney cited a child support rule for an alleged harassment case, provided no legal analysis to support the motion. INACCESSIBLE & CARELESS – instead of a simple reply to my inquiring email, this woman insists on useless conference calls scheduled by her assistant during office hours, even in the face of filing deadlines and even when the court made its unwarranted judgment. Indeed, this woman did nothing but copying and pasting my own certifications, making numerous grammatical and syntactical errors to be corrected by me one after another, but at my cost of $300 per hour, and, not surprisingly, got zero from the court in the end. Actually, it is sub-zero, burning a big hole in my pocket for nothing! Alas, what a waste of time and money with this so-called “senior” associate attorney! So, please be advised accordingly, if you unfortunately have something legal to deal with.
