Rakesh Niranjan Joshi

When I found myself in a terrible predicament, attorney Rakesh Joshi was there to help. Facing extraordinary circumstances, I didn't have many resources to defend myself against the legal system and the charges placed on me. After hiring Mr. Joshi things turned around, immediately. He did everythi...ng he said he would. Having someone on your side who really understands law and takes the time to develop a real defense strategy is critical. He worked my case as if I was a family member or loved one. The day we met, I was locked in jail out of town and away from anyone that could help me. From the start attorney Rakesh Joshi treated me with respect and dignity. We spoke about his philosophy and approach on law. At that moment I knew for sure that he was the best person to defend me in court. More than a lawyer, a man passionate about the freedoms, equality, and justice of all people. Joshi genuinely cares and represents what our justice system is supposed to do for its people. I won my case and more importantly got my life back thanks to the passionate work of attorney Rakesh Joshi. Several other overpriced lawyers declined to take my case or wanted more money, but my attorney made me and justice the priority. If you are in need of criminal defense this is the person you should be talking to. If you need representation, do yourself a favor and make the call.

The driver of the vehicle I was a passenger in was speeding near Albany and was pulled over. The officer spotted an open bottle of liquor and all three us were taken out of the car and our belongings were searched. I was charged with an open container and possession of a small amount of marijuana. Mr.... Joshi was able to get the possession charge thrown out and the open container was reduced to a parking ticket. I was a student at the time and the charge for Mr. Joshi's services was a complete bargain including the stress that was reduced by maintaining a clean record. This review is long overdue and I am extremely grateful for the way my case was handled. I highly recommend Mr. Joshi and wish I could see him again to thank 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!

I live out of state and was camping in the Adirondacks where I got a UPM after getting pulled over because my friend rolled through a stop sign. Knowing nothing about the law in NY I was pretty freaked out. I was ready to just plead guilty and pay the fine to get it over with, but I tried calling a... few lawyers first to get a better idea of what I was getting into. Rakesh, the only one who answered my call, spent a good 45 minutes on the phone with me and he explained everything. I was ready to pay extra to have him drive up north to help me with this so I wouldn't have it on my record, and he declined on account of his conscience. He explained that I had nothing to lose in not having a lawyer at the arraignment for such a minor violation and that the fee for long distance representation would be a waste of my money. Rather than take advantage of my panic, he advised me to keep my money, explained the law, what to expect on the court date, and what I should say to get an ACOD. We also had backup plans for all the worst case scenarios, but he assured me that I would be fine. He was also graciously available when I called and texted a few more times with more questions. I followed his advice and the judge dismissed my case altogether. I came out of the whole ordeal with no stains on my record, no fine, and no lawyer fees. Apart from being very grateful to Rakesh for his knowledgeable advice, his time, and his ethics, I was particularly grateful for how genuinely sympathetic and reassuring he was. It sounds corny but his willingness to help me out made the whole exchange feel more like I was getting advice from a good friend who also happened to know the law inside and out. I highly recommend him, especially if what you are looking for is a good lawyer who is also a good person. Hire Rakesh.
