Withheld Information, Abusive

Just like his countryman who abused me for nearly ten years of my childhood, Avik has his own agenda when engaging with the desperate. He uses his large physical presence to try to force his will on others, invading personal space and denying them privacy in discussing priviledged information related... to their case. He also withheld information about my case, choosing instead to follow his own direction while being dismissive of my concerns. He used abusive and gendered language in an effort to silence me, much like his countryman who medically, physically, and psychologically abused me as a child. Avik promotes the pseudoscience of psychology, which his countryman used to cloak his abuse of me as a child. Avik is entirely too chummy with prosecutors, having been a temporary judge in another town, and seems determined to regain that position even if it means ignoring his clients. He assured me he would look into matters for me and then went completely silent, thereby costing me further expenses.

Did very little work

In the free consultation, he came across as attentive, knowledgeable and competent. I think the fee he quoted was outrageous. Ultimately, he did almost no work, put in very little effort, and ignored my input without response. The agreement he brokered (written proof) was not the agreement I got. Whe...n I asked him to have the court correct it, he went radio silent.

Federal Court Defense

Avik was excellent right from the beginning. He thoroughly went over how everything in the proceedings could/would go, kept me informed as to when I needed to appear in court, and most importantly, was highly encouraging in keeping my spirits up. In my last court appearance, he gave a very passionate... speech about me to the judge that I definitely believe played a part in my outcome being as good as it could've been. If you want peace of mind during a troubling time in your life, look no further than Mr. Ganguly for your legal representation.

Posted by Deepak | November 24, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Best attorney for resolving traffic tickets

I had a traffic ticket for an unsafe lane change after involving in an accident. Avik got it reduced to a non-moving parking violation ticket. Due to ticket reduction, I have definitely saved a lot in my car insurance. Also, his staff has guided and helped to complete the court process. It's worth me...ntioning that his office fee is very resonable.
