Absolutely every cent gave value

I know very little about the semantics of law. I'm in my 40s and had never violated it. I did a dumb thing and could have lost my career over it. A close connection, herself a lawyer, recommended Mr. Koshi to me. Mr. Koshi was forthright regarding billing and his own fees. These were reasona...ble and I paid them. There were no surprises, surcharges, or strings. And I got what I paid for. Mr. Koshi explained my situation to the court and the prosecutor. He allowed them to see my situation clearly and provided evidence of my true character. This helped me greatly. I do not believe another lawyer could have done as well. I will always be thankful for his help.

Outstanding! True Counselor and Partner in the Legal Process

Biju Koshy is an outstanding attorney; he is intelligent, empathetic, and incisive. Absolutely look no further if in need of counsel. After learning of a misdemeanor charge, a close friend recommended Biju. He called back immediately and provided a thorough and thoughtful analysis of what to expect... - quite accurately - every single thing he said to expect did in fact happen. Biju stuck with me - and interfaced with law enforcement, the DA's office, and others seamlessly. He was especially communicative as the case progressed and ensured that I fully understood the process. He's not only a great lawyer who knows the system, but he's a genuinely nice person - Biju will never make you feel judged or rush you off the phone. I truly felt I had a partner and advocate by my side during an otherwise challenging ordeal.

One of the best !

Mr Koshy was very professional, respectful, and knowledgeable. Mr Koshy kept me up to date and in the loop every step of the way. He explained the whole process to me and insured me that he was going to see my case through to the end with the best results possible. Mr Koshy kept his word and was ab...le to get my case dismissed.

Knowledgeable, Connected, Supportive and Effective

From first meeting to final sentencing, Biju Koshy was committed to getting the best deal for me after a DWI. He knows his way around the system, and was very good at preventing me from having a nervous meltdown as I navigated through it. It can be confusing and disheartening, but Biju was always the...re to provide advice, shortcuts if they were available, and to advocate on my behalf whenever and to whomever when I needed it. This included going out of his way to negotiate with agencies that were not necessarily in his purview as my attorney. You can't go wrong in hiring Biju.
