Posted by anonymous | March 04, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

I wish there was no stars to give him

Rakesh never returned my calls in a timely fashion. He was very rude when returning my calls. Seems to me he only specialized in traffic infractions, because he was not any help for my specific situation. I paid him 5k , and got nothing out of it. I would never recommend him to anyone, even my own... worst enemy!

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.

Slow and silent

Rakesh promised to get back to me with updates every time I contacted him. Typically, it would take more than a month to get any news and I'd have to ask over and over. He more or less delivered in the end but I spent months wondering if anything really was happening. It was more stressful to work w...ith him than to go it alone.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
