Posted by anonymous | August 17, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Reduced my speeding ticket to zero points.

Reduced my speeding ticket from 6 points to 0 zero points. Hired for another speeding ticket case too. Highly recommended

Posted by Lee | February 18, 2022 | Landlord & Tenant

Highly recommend

I happened to come across Rakesh during my landlord tenant search. When I called I got his voicemail, like a true professional Rakesh called me back. We had a great conversation, I was so amazed that he took time out of his busy schedule to talk to me and to answer my questions. I would highly recomm...end Rakesh. They don’t make lawyers like him anymore, he has such a passion to help people and is so genuine. Look no further in my opinion Rakesh is the best!!! Lee

I put my life in his hands and he delivered!

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.

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.

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.
