Shoplifting

I'm a student on F-1 visa. Got myself involved in a shoplifting case. Was devastated and felt it was the end of the world. Gaurav did not just help with the case but he also comforted me mentally throughout this process. Within a month everything was solved. On the day of the hearing itself, Gaurav m...ade sure the case would be expunged and taken off my records thereby causing no issues from the immigration point of view. Instead of probation or ordinance, I was given a choice for opting social service which would in return expunge my case off the records. This was the best settlement offer for me. So very thankful to Gaurav. He saved me. He literally did. He's a amazing attorney, no doubt.

Satisfied client

He sent an attorney to represent me. I was in and out of court within 20 mins. I had a few tickets, including speeding by 20 mph, careless driving and failure to stay in lane. I was looking at 8 points, which I could not afford with my job. Two of my tickets were dismissed and my careless driving was... dropped down to a lesser charge, with no points and no surcharges. Originally, he told me the fine would be $400, but the judge only ordered me to pay $239. Overall win and I’m completely satisfied! Thanks so much for all your help! Everything promised that we discussed in the initial consultation was kept. I highly recommend and will use again in the future, but hoping I don’t have to!

He told me to plead guilty

He told me to plead guilty for a speeding ticket that cost less than my legal fee. I went to court to avoid getting point but I still got the point and paid for the ticket.

Replied last March 09, 2020

I would never recommend to any of my client's that they plead guilty to the original charge unless there was no other choice to do so; if a client's driving history is not favorable, and if a downgrade to zero-points is not feasible, then I will amend the charge to a reduced speed, which still carries lesser points than what you were originally charged with.

Student

I was pulled over for a plethora of charges including reckless driving, failure to use turn signal, and exceeding the speed limit by more than 35 mph. The ticket totaled 13 points in all. I was extremely worried that I was either going to lose driving privileges indefinitely, have my car insurance ra...tes shoot up, or both. I couldn’t afford for those things to happen at the time, so I researched online and found Guarav. He was able to dismiss 3 of my 4 cases, and bump down my last one, to where I ended up getting no points on my license. All I had to do was pay court fees. Guarav takes pride in his practice, and has a ton of knowledge in his field of work. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal representation.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Gaurav as a defense attorney because he's a talented advocate with visibly satisfied clients; and he has tremendous relationships with counsel, judges, and prosecutors. And I was particularly impressed with his co-handling of a multi-defendant firearm indictment that resulted in an outright dismissal by the state after the Superior Court ruled in our favor after a suppression hearing."
