Rakesh Niranjan Joshi

I contacted Rakesh seeking help to reduce a speeding ticket that would have carried points against my license. Rakesh handled my case in the Menands Village Court and was able to have the penalty reduced to a fine only. He kept me apprised of developments in the case through clear, concise e-mails,... and the process proceeded very smoothly to a good conclusion.

My original violation was a 71/55 and the court clerk made a mistake by notifying the DMV that I never responded to the ticket. With that, I needed to get in touch with Rakesh on multiple occasions and he always made himself available. The end result is my violation was reduced to a parking ticket an...d zero points with a fine. I would highly recommend Rakesh.

I am from MA and got a speeding ticket near Albany, NY (No Surprise there I guess!). Cited for 65 MPH in a 55 MPH Zone (I Know!). Contacted a few Lawyers around the Upstate Area but decided to Hire the Services of Rakesh. He was very reasonable compared to all the others I contacted. During our first... call he mentioned to me the most likely outcome of my case, and Delivered on it. My $250, 3 point NY Ticket (2 Point MA Transfer) was reduced to a $125 Parking Ticket. One thing I will mention is that once you explain you case to Rakesh, he will take care of it and get in touch with you only when necessary. I did pester him a lot for updates just because I was very curious. If you are like me and have the tendency to call or message constantly, trust me, you don't need to do that with Rakesh. He will take care of you and your case in a timely manner!

One of the most memorable experiences: He was never responsive (took days or a week to respond), never took initiative to discuss the case; worst of all, he never even helped appeal the case in my representation although he emailed me ensuring "everything is taken care of." But, he is excellent... with making up excuses to dodge as much contact as possible. I wish there is a half-star rating. Worst experience ever had. Now I have to either fight the ticket myself or find another lawyer.
