Speeding ticket

Viakrant helped me with my very first speeding ticket. I was little panic as it was my first ticket and i was calling couple of law firms to help me on this. Over the calls i had made, I was able to talk to Vikrant directly over the phone(i mean not a receptionist or Secretary or a junior) and he wal...ked me through the process. And to my surprise he was so quick on sending letter to court. He also walked me through the court day process as i have no idea about how the court proceedings are going to be. I would definitely recommend him.

Excellent, Effective & Affordable attorney - Mr. Vikrant Advani

I got three traffic tickets, (1) speeding, (2) Failure To Give Proper Signal, and (3) Careless Driving. The tickets were adding up to 8 points and $405 in fines. I contacted Mr. Vikrant Advani. He studied my situation and clearly explained me the different possibilities. His fee was very reasonable. ...It was finally settled to 2 pints and a reasonable court fees. He was very punctual, accountable and accurate. I strongly recommend Mr. Vikrant Advani.

The MOST RESPONSIVE attorney I've ever dealt with. Vast knowledge of NJ laws. Professional, on time, forthright and sincere.

I received 2 tickets for a total of 7 DMV points from one traffic incident. I am a male, almost 30 years old, and was pulled over in Piscataway Township. The officer incorrectly issued the tickets to my father's name, as he is the title holder of the car. I was already at work when I noticed the m...istake, and tried contacting NJ Motor Vehicle. Well, contacting the corporate headquarters of NJ Motor Vehicle is not an easy task. After getting the run around, I decided to consult an attorney. My first call was to my local real estate attorney. We had a quick 5 minute discussion, and he said changing the tickets from my father's name to my name could be done but it would take a lot of effort. Secondly, he said getting my traffic points reduced, with my driving record, simply would not be possible. I didn't feel comfortable with what he said, so I decided to do some research online. After a few hours, I came across Vik Advani's profile on Avvo.com, and decided to give him a call. Vik picked up right away, assured me there was plenty that could be done to resolve my case, and spent close to 30 minutes on the phone discussing potential scenarios. We set an appointment to meet, discussed the retainer, and he asked me to e-mail copies of my tickets to him so he could begin working on my case. Once I met Vik in person, we discussed the case again, took care of the retainer, and he began suggesting potential scenarios. Within minutes, I realized I had one of NJ's super-lawyers in my corner. Not only did he provide me with a more than fair retainer fee, Vik went above and beyond the initial scope of work, and was able to accomplish what my real estate lawyer thought was impossible. I was floored by the level of committment Mr. Advani exhibited, especially since I had worked with many lawyers in the past. NJ Motor Vehicle sent my father a Notice of Suspension, as he was incorrectly issued my traffic violations, and points. Vik was able to contact NJ Motor Vehicle (he called, and wrote a letter), and was able to get them to hold off on suspending my father's license. In addition to getting the tickets put in my name, Vik wrote the local judge of Piscataway a letter explaining my situation, and what had transpired. When I went to court, Vik met my father and I at the local court house on time, and we proceeded directly to the prosecutor's office. I was impressed to see Vik is on a first name basis with the most of the people in the court house (especially the judge, and prosecutor). I felt as if I was a rock star with Mr. Advani by my side. In the end, Vik sorted out the issue with NJ Motor Vehicle, was able to vacate a guilty plea (incorrectly entered by me at an earlier date), got me refunded for that guilty plea, AND he was able to ELIMINATE one of my two tickets entirely, as well as lowering the original 7 points to only 2!!! Mr. Advani is THE lawyer you need to have in your corner. He literally saved me from getting my father's license suspended, as well as my own!!

Excellent individual to work with.

I had gotten into a bit of trouble one night on my way home. 8 points and possible license suspension, on top of the fines - kind of trouble. I was advised to get a lawyer to help me fight so I proceeded to do so. The following day after searching for lawyers who were close by my area, I found Mr. Ad...vani. I gave him a call and he basically explained my situation. Our discussion and how he approached the topic at hand with the confidence and realism that he did carried through all the way to the end. He made sure that I was fully aware of how bad the situation was so that there were no surprises, but also bestowed some confidence upon me that there was a good chance I may not get hit that hard. When the court date arrived, Mr. Advani arrived punctually as I had expected and continued to give me a quick briefing and what his game plan was. A short while later he returned and was able to work some magic to get my points and fines greatly reduced. All in all, Mr. Advani blew me away with his expertise. If you are ever looking for somebody that absolutely has your best interests in mind, I wouldn't hesitate to give this man a call.

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.
