Speeding ticket

He was able to plea down my case from an 8 point violation to a 3.Very kind and effective service. He is a busy man for obvious reasons. He takes care of his clients.

excellent lawyer ..

I hired Rakesh and he was very helpful .. Reduced my +21 speeding ticket to Parking ticket and got my driving with an expired registration ticket dismissed. I highly recommend this attorney.

Great lawyer

Rakesh Joshi is a superb lawyer. He took on my case, took care of all the court appearances, gave me great advice, and negotiated a very fair resolution, all for a very modest fee. Rakesh gets my highest recommendation!!!!

Delivers on his Promise!

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!

WORST, WORST, WORST SERVICE EVER

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.
