Top-notch Attorney

When we receive a ticket, lot of questions run through your mind, we won't be able to concentrate on work, things we do, etc, and sometimes we feel panic. I know because I experienced it. We need a person who will listen to you, provide expertise along with moral support. Vik was the person who liste...ned to me very patiently, understood me and gave moral support that nothing need to be worried explaining me the details of the ticket that I didn't understood, points, fine/penalty and finally how we will take the case to court. That's all, he took over everything from here. He just didn't explained the case but when we reached the court he explained me the court procedures step by step, who is who and what's there role, where to make payment. He was with me until we stepped out of the court premises. Anytime I had a question, I sent him a text message with question and I get a reply via message or call back and answered my questions or at least to let me know that he is busy. What matters here is, he is replying and that made me feel I am in right hands. When you feel you are in right hands, you are HAPPY. That's why I say he is a Top-notch Attorney.

Great Lawyer with exemplary Service

I received a careless driving ticket that thought I didn't deserve and I was going to fight, but unfortunately I was relocating out of NJ a few days after the incident and I needed representation. The first lawyer I found would not speak with me until I gave him my credit card number(I realize we a...ll work for money but I at least thought he would ask me what the issue was ).Needless to say I didn't call the lawyer again. I found Vik after reading a few comments about him online. He listened to me carefully and explained all of my options. I was concerned about the points on my license. It would transfer to my new state of residence and stay on my license for 3 years. I was on the phone with Vik for about 40 minutes at no point did he bring up fees or money. Instead he put me at ease and told me to focus on my move. He also gave me a few days to think about all of the options I had. I decide to go to court with the ticket. I was out of state and Vik presented me in absentia. He was very helpful every step of the way. He kept me well informed about the process and responded to all my questions very quickly. I would absolutely use him again and I recommend him to anyone who needs legal advice. Thanks Vik

Excellent Attorney

Vik is an excellent lawyer and is always available to help and answers any question that I asked; and also he gave me lot of moral support. When I got into an accident and got ticket, I was so panic and had no clue what to do next. I did google to find out lawyers in my area and found couple of them.... I called all them on Sunday night and let VM. Vik is the only lawyer who returned my call next morning. He has good knowledge about municipal courts, how it operates and was able to quickly understand my case and told me what my options are and explained each options and guided me how to proceed with my case. He is very humble but sharp skills to represent the case. He showed up promptly to the court and met with the prosecutor and arranged the deal. His charges are very reasonable. I highly recommend Vikrant.

Illegal U-turn and contempt of court remedied with best possible outcome

I had an illegal U-turn ticket in the city of Newark. This relatively simple case turned into a contempt of court with a warrant for my arrest issued when I "failed to appear at court" during my vacation to Europe despite the fact that I contacted the court multiple times to let them know that I woul...d not be available during that time period. Mr. Vikrant Advani let me know everything to expect and took care of all of the above for the low cost of $270. I got the contempt of court remedied and the U-turn ticket was changed form a 3-point ticket to an obstruction of traffic ticket (about $50 fine and zero points). Great experience, very helpful, and extremely friendly.
