Outstanding lawyer!

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!!

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 19

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer for all family related matters. He is a thoughtful, considerate and empathetic person who is also very knowledgeable, thorough and competent. I recommend him for custody matters, family court and divorce matters in general, as well as any other family related case. He is new to the Hudson Valley, but not new to the practice of Matrimonial law. He provides excellent representation for his clients."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 04

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Raunak Kothari is a superb litigator and advocate for his clients in custody, divorce, family law, and matrimonial proceedings. I found him to be a rigorous and brilliant opposing attorney who advocates extremely well for his clients, while also maintaining civility and cordiality with me and other opposing attorneys, which in my experience is (unfortunately) exceedingly rare; this is also a very effective means to achieve litigation settlement, which is often in a client's best interest. Raunak also has the heart to advocate for clients in deep stress with empathy and strong emotional skills. I recommend him without reservation."
