Terrible all around

Never in my life have I experienced such a terrible service from anywhere in my life. Clerical errors and nasty lawyers who hang up on you like a child. They hardly represent you, you’re better off doing it yourself. I am so disappointed in this office, do better!

You hired us for two cases on behalf of your husband. First off it should be noted that BOTH cases were disposed with favorable results for our client. Second, from the day you retained our firm, you conducted yourself extremely rudely on the phone, both to my attorneys and to my staff. Despite your behavior, my staff remained professional and did their best to accommodate all of your questions with constant communication through email and even text messages. In conclusion, thank you for allowing us to favorably resolve both cases for your husband wishing you the best of luck.

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.

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.

Really Dissapointed!

Unfortunately I had a very bad experience with this office, even though I really had high hopes regarding their services; however I was truly disappointed. I received a speeding ticket as I was driving double the speed and hired the office of Dave to take care of this matter since this was my first o...ffence ever! I had nothing on my record. My husband consulted with Dave over the phone first then we decided to hire him for my case. (He sounded very knowledgeable, smart and knew what he was talking about in terms of penalties regarding my speeding ticket). This phone call was about 3 weeks before my court date. Until the day before the court date no one had called me to tell me any instructions or what to expect or even prepare me for what I'm up against... I called Dave's office and spoke to him personally, he reassured me that one of his associates (Kevin); will show up and be there with me in the court. First, I thought he'd handle my case personally; but he sent an associate. (Fine); at least send me an associate who would be able to handle my case knowing that the judge I'm facing is ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT and TOUGH judges in this court!!! Kevin completely left the ruling to the discretion of the judge! (He told me that while we did the briefing before we stand in front of the judge); we spoke for like 10 minutes, I explained what I did, where I was going and answered all his questions then he told me eventually I'll leave it to his discretion! When he could've argued so many different aspects of my case. So I ended up having 2 points on my license (which he suggested I'd go online and do a course to remove it), and second, I paid the fine and THIRD! I got my license SUSPENDED for TWENTY DAYS!!! I mean who takes away your license for a SPEEDING TICKET (FIRST OFFENCE)! I spoke to so many friends (In Law Enforcement); and every single one was shocked to hear my ruling. Now after all that, I still didn't hear from Dave's office on how to get back my license or any instructions from them! Kevin had notified me that within 1 week I'll get instructions in the mail on how to retrieve back the license but that never happened. So I called the office to find out and after juggling with his Administrative Assistant or Paralegal I'm not sure; she finally gave me Dave to speak to cause she had no idea what I was talking about and was going back and forth asking him (which is again, fine; but at least if she had called me and gave me those instructions I wouldn't had mind), I just needed feedback/response/communication from the lawyer who's representing me to get back to me and guides me through the process. If he couldn't make it himself to represent me in court, the least you could do is give your client a call (as a follow up call) to give them instructions on what to do next and how! I ended up applying for a NEW license even though I had just renewed it 2 weeks before it got suspended! I have no more words to say rather than, a speeding ticket might seem insignificant but the judge treated me as if it was DUI and Dave's office didn't take my case seriously at all.

Dont hire if your livihood depends on it. We hired them to remove traffic tickets or points. They dropped the ball. Sent personal summons/affidavit information to a non existence email. Called them out on their mistakes. Of course they back pedaled. Now we end up paying attorney fees plus tickets and... my favorite a warrent out for an arrest. Instead of tickets costing 200.00 we should of plead guilty and went on our merry way. It cost us 600.00 plus from this mishap.

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 30

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."
