Reachable and Reasonable

I consulted with and hired Vik after receiving a ticket from a car accident where the other party claimed injury. I had been in a similar situation 5 years ago so I was pretty worried to say the least. After researching lawyers this time, I decided to consult with Vik and the consultation confirmed t...he reviews I had read on him so I decided to look no further! His fee for the case was a flat rate of $250 and this covered up to 3 court appearances if the case were to be dragged out, which he said it most likely wouldn't. Due to the pandemic, court appearances were postponed for months until virtual became an option but throughout all this, Vik always reached out to give me updates on my case and would always answer my questions in a quick/timely fashion. He gave a clear breakdown of what would happen in court and explained any possible scenarios, he was also very reassuring. Ultimately, I paid a $140 fine with no points on my license and civil reservation granted, which was the outcome that we were aiming for.

West orange traffic ticket

Mr. Advani was very thorough in explaining my options when consulted about a traffic ticket issued in the course of an accident. This would have resulted in points and potential trouble if sued in the future by the other party. He gave me options, time to think over my course of action. I am very ple...ased I hired him since he was able to get me a civil exception and points removed so this ticket will not be problematic in the future.

Mercer County "careless driving" ticket

I hired Vik on positive recommendation of another friend of mine. I had never gotten into an accident before (driving for 12 years). While I could've handled the situation myself, I felt more comfortable hiring a lawyer. My accident involved rear-ending another car at a crosswalk. He pled down "carel...ess driving" to "obstruction of traffic": from 2 points to 0 points, from $200+ to $89 fines. More importantly to me, he was very patient answering my questions about the legal process, the possibilities, and staying until I had paid my ticket off with no further issue. I am well-educated, but not about the legal system, and it was important to me to have someone who took my questions and concerns seriously.

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.

Excellent Service and trustworthy Lawyer

Vik is very honest lawyer and always kept us abreast of the situation. He did all his homework in terms of getting police report, video of accident on DVD and was before time for court date. Our court date got postponed twice - once due to weather and once due to no-show. But Vik never showed frustra...tion or demanded more money. He is very good to work with and also makes the situation feel more optimistic for you. Our overall outcome was very good and i am truly honored to have Vik as my lawyer and would recommend him to the community
