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.

Avik is the greatest

I was referred to Avik by 2 other highly revered attorneys as well as a personal friend. Upon meeting Avik, I was sold; he is courteous, professional, and confident. From the beginning Avik took the time and attention to truly listen to what I had to say, and absorb the emotional worry I had taken on.... He was able to comfort me by taking the time to educate me thoroughly, with knowing more, I felt substantially more at ease and confident. Avik laid out a concise plan of action, with logical reasoning and explanation. I never got into anything that I didnt understand, before progressing at any stage, Avik made sure I understood, was heard, and felt comfortable. He was in control of the situation start to finish, and was able to communicate, orchestrate, and resolve matters far beyond my control; he did such in a timely manner, with poise, and professionalism. Nobody wants to ever be in a position to hire an attorney, but what would be worse is hiring the wrong one when that time comes. I am very glad I chose Avik, it was the best decision I could have made for myself, my business, and my family. I regularly refer Avik to any and all, and will continue to do so. I firmly believe that you will be more than satisfied with hiring Avik; again, he is a consummate professional, and a standout individual.

DWI in Greece

I've known Avik for a long time, so when I was arrested for DWI in the town of Greece, I called Avik and he jumped right on it. I currently live out of NY so Avik kept me fully informed of what was going on with my case. When it was all said and done I was happy with the outcome.

Knowledgeable and Extremely Helpful!

Mr. Ganguly recently helped me through a life altering event; a dumb mistake that could have led to career altering consequences. He was quick to respond, and immediately put a plan into action. In explaining the entire process, it became clear that he was the man for the job. He exuded knowledge and... confidence and was able to put my mind at ease. I was kept apprised of every development along the way, and the outcome was exactly as he had predicted. Needless to say, I am very impressed with Mr. Ganguly’s skills, demeanor, and professionalism.
