Raunak Paresh Kothari

I first met with Raunak when someone else was representing me in my divorce.  By the end of my consultation with him, it was clear that Raunak is a breed apart from other attorneys.  It is really night and day.  My divorce was so messy and my first attorney made the mess even worse instead of fix...ing problems.  Raunak changed the whole direction of my case.  It was such a breath of fresh air.  I don’t know how I could have gotten through it all and kept my sanity intact if I hadn’t changed attorneys and hired Raunak to represent me.  As time went on, Raunak proved himself to be very thorough and knowledgeable.  Unlike my first attorney, he wasn’t all talk.  He actually got results.  Raunak also repeatedly went above and beyond his obligations and proved that he was genuinely committed to me and my case.  I know he has much bigger cases than mine, but he always treated my case as important.  His commitment has been truly exceptional. If you're looking for an attorney who will defend you and your rights, Raunak is the one.  I can't thank him enough for everything he has done for me.  He’s seriously the most amazing attorney ever and I am forever grateful!!

Anyone who has had to go to family court knows just how stressful it is. A big part of the stress is worrying whether your attorney will really help you achieve a favorable outcome. Another concern is wondering, "Will my attorney make my case a priority, or will I be just be another client that he/s...he can barely keep track of?" All these concerns vanished after I started working with Raunak Kothari. At every step of the way, Raunak put me at ease with his knowledge and attentiveness. Thanks to his experience, he was able to point out so many considerations that had never occurred to me. Apart from making me feel like a priority, Raunak ran circles around opposing counsel. It wasn’t even close to a fair fight. Throughout the whole process, he fought for my interests and guided me with tremendous insight. And he did all of these things with kindness and respect. At the end of the day, I was thrilled with the outcome of my case. I am so grateful that I had Raunak representing me and can’t imagine that any other lawyer could have achieved the same results. I will send my family and friends straight to him if they are ever in need of a family law attorney. He is simply phenomenal and worth every penny.

I was represented by one of the best known firms in New York City, but my case was going in circles. A friend suggested I speak with Raunak Kothari and I am so glad I did. Raunak brought clarity to my situation, quickly got my case back on track, resolved the issues my prior attorney could not and br...ought other issues to my attention that I had never considered. Throughout the process, Raunak kept an unwavering focus on my priorities. Before negotiations, he explained the implications of various options, suggested alternatives, anticipated the other side’s arguments and explained the law that applied to my situation. At the four way meeting we finally had, Raunak’s experience really came to shine. He was so practical, clear and persuasive. Even the attorney on the other side could not disagree with his points. Raunak’s calm but firm demeanor gets results. He is open, direct, sharp and responsive. In the end, he had to completely rewrite the agreement my prior attorney had started and the difference was striking. Even though his work was so much better, his fees were lower. After he resolved my case, I have continued to seek his counsel as new circumstances arise.

Raunak Kothari is a lifesaver! He is a brilliant, articulate, and dedicated attorney, and his advice and guidance have been truly invaluable. He has protected my rights as a parent and advanced my interests in so many ways. Before I met him, I was represented by another attorney, and I had no idea... at the time what a difference it would make to be represented by someone truly exceptional. I would have been lost without Raunak!

I hired Mr. Kothari after being represented by one of New York City’s premier family law firms. From our first conversation, it was clear that he is smart, empathetic and honest. This combination set him apart immediately. After quickly understanding my difficult situation, he helped change my case’...s direction dramatically. He has also proven to be more dedicated and intellectually nimble than the attorneys at the A-list firm that previously represented me. With his forethought, impressive writing ability, and genuine commitment to my interests, Mr. Kothari has been indispensable as counselor and advocate. He has always put me as his client first, before all else, including himself. He has time and again, demonstrated a deep commitment to ethics, both personal and professional. The representation I have received from Mr. Kothari has been nothing short of excellent with an unmatched combination of legal knowledge, ethical standards and pragmatism.
