Mr. Joshi has successfully handled issues for me for the last 3 years. He does a thorough job of explaining what you need to know about court processes, is efficient, friendly, and is tenacious with your case in court. I've been completely satisfied and will continue to request his services if I n...eed them. I highly recommend him to anyone needing his expertise for ticket issues.

Great Attorney

Rakesh reduced my 8 point speeding ticket to a 2 point ticket and had to deal with a difficult court. All other attorneys I called told me Best outcome would be pleading to some form of speeding with 3-4 points. He did what no one else could do.

License saver

I have a pretty extensive criminal history as well as a fairly extensive traffic ticket history. I have had my drivers license suspended 3 times, in July 2017 I was pulled over and issued my 3rd speeding ticket within an 18 month time period, this was a 4 point speeding ticket. At this time I also ha...d 8 points on my license already. This meant that If found guilty of speeding I would exceed the 11 points that constitute a 6 month minimum suspension on my license. It also meant that if I was found guilty, the dmv would automatically revoke my license (the law states 3 or more speeding convictions within 18 months is automatic revocation). So needless to say no matter what happened I needed this speeding ticket to be reduced to a non speed with no more then 2 points in order to keep my license uninterrupted. The court in halfmoon didnt want to hear it they refused to reduce it to anything less then a 3 point speeding ticket due to my extensive driving record. So I decided I would find the best rated traffic ticket attorney I could find in the area. I always do my research and my research brought me to Rakesh Joshi. I met him very briefly outside of a courtroom, gave him cash and a handshake as he assured me it was as good as taken care of. He then proceeded to explain quickly that it was going to take some time to get the result I desired. Now I know the justice system quite well and I was well aware that he was going to have to haggle with the district attorney for some time until they realized Mr. Joshi wasnt gonna settle for anything less then the outcome I desired, so I told Mr. Joshi to take as much time as he needed to get the outcome. He thanked me for being understanding and said he would get it done. Months went by without us talking sometimes but I knew he was a very busy man and looking at his resume i knew he would get it done. 18 months after my 1st meeting with Rakesh Joshi, I recieved an email from him stating that the speeding ticket had been resolved with the exact outcome that I desired and Mr. Joshi thanked me for my patience in the matter. If you hire this attorney expect to be dealing with a busy man that is working hard every day, expect to deal with a guy that will not settle until he gets you the outcome you desire, and when you get the end result you will be very happy you chose Rakesh Joshi.
