Mr. Varghese is a great lawyer. He is also a very kind-hearted human being and really loves helping people in distress. He helped me win my case with his able guidance.

Having worked with Varghese & Associates since its formation almost 15 years ago, we have interfaced with a number of the Firm's clients, including giving testimony. The message is consistent and clear. Varghese & Associates provides the best criminal defense possible, regardless of the circumstances...

We were struggling to find a competent lawyer. Most lawyers shied away from taking our case as they didn’t feel comfortable in defending us in federal court, while other lawyers asked us to declare bankruptcy and not fight the case against a big law firm. When I spoke with Vinoo, he sounded reassu...

“Words can't express my gratitude for Mr. Varghese and his firm. My case was tough and I would probably still be incarcerated if it hadn't been for Mr. Varghese's diligence and professionalism. He visited me in prison in Brazil, represented me in the US while I was facing extradition; he fought for h...

Mr. Varghese helped me clear a matter. Always responsive and trustworthy. If you ever have to go into a legal battle, he's the attorney you want on your side. No one better.
"I've known Vinoo personally and professionally for more than twenty (20) years. From his beginnings as an assistant district attorney in Kings County to his own successful criminal defense practice, Vinoo has always impressed me with his commitment to his clients and willingness to fight the fight no matter the odds. He takes zealous representation to a whole new level, whether at trial or on appeal. If heaven's forbid I ever needed to make that "one call", I have no doubt it would be to him."
"I happily endorse Vinoo as a fantastic attorney. Few stay on top of the law and have as much trial and appellate work under their belt as Vin. He is a trusted and loyal friend, skilled counselor and an expert in their area. I’m happy to speak in person about his high accomplishments, background, or personal style but I endorse him without question to handle your matter and I have worked with him so I have seen him excel in person as assistant district attorney in Brooklyn."
"Vinoo is an exceptional criminal defense attorney whose reputation speaks for itself. He is highly regarded in his field."
"Vinoo is a relentless and tireless advocate for his clients. He's the type of lawyer that thinks outside the box. If you're in trouble with law enforcement and you want a pitbull in your corner, Vinoo is your guy. He's smart, tough, competent and understands how to position a case."
