He is calm and very knowledgeable. He ask the important questions.

I received a call for a very old warrant of arrest for a sex offense. I was very afraid and called Mr Kush Arrora for help. From the very first time I spoke with him he was calm and very assuring. He ask me important questions pertaining my case that help me with my case. I hired and retained him to ...represent me as my lawyer and for the entire process of my case he was with me all the way, i felt secure with him comfortable, and confident with his decisions and strategy. He is very knowledgeable about sex offense defense, and help me dismissed all my case. When you need a good defense lawyer in Maryland call Mr Kush Arora. Dependable, Calm and Knowledgeable.

A Standout

Kush is the man! What else can I say? I was recently charged with solicitation and thought I would lose my job and wife. I initially called about 20 lawyers. They were all knowledgeable and had great advice (which you should take). But Kush stood out with the level of detail he expressed through...out the call. No lawyer can or should make you a promise as everyone's case is different, but Kush's attention to detail continued to be noticed throughout my case. Kush is not a therapist, but he kept me calm the entire time despite my constant worrying. He believed in me and saw me as a good person. In the end, he pulled off a miracle, got me a stet, and got me my life back. Kush tends to be very busy (that's a good thing!), but he is always sure to reply to your email within the day if not sooner. A big thanks Kush for all his hard work and attention. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer.

Incredible Attorney

NOT GUILTY on all charges! I have never faced legal issues before in my life and suddenly found myself facing 3 counts of felony sex offense and possibly a long jail sentence. Without Mr. Arora representing me I'm not sure where I'd be today. He is very familiar with the Montgomery county court ...system, judges, and opposing lawyers. He was systematic, thoughtful and thorough in his approach to researching and preparing for my case. Mr. Arora was always very easy to reach by phone or text and always made time for any questions I had. During one of the most stressful periods of my life, knowing I had him on my side to defend me helped me actually get some sleep at night. At the trial Mr. Arora was extremely prepared, so much so that the vast difference in preparation between him and the opposing prosecutor attorney was obvious to everyone in the court room. His assertive, logical, factual arguments were rock solid. He is able to present facts of the case in a manner that was utterly convincing and air tight. My family and I are extremely thankful for him. He truly is an amazing lawyer.

The best criminal defense attorney you can hire

Mr. Arora has defended me against criminal charges on two separate occasions, securing the best possible outcomes in both cases. He is professional, motivated, and dedicated to his clients. I never once felt that I was "just another case" that he had taken on. It is because of Mr. Arora's services th...at I'm not in prison or on a sex offender registry. He has truly saved my life. I highly recommend him.

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 18

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"The first time I spoke with Kush about a criminal defense matter was several years ago when we represented co-defendants. He took the approach that I do with co-defendants' lawyers, which is to find points of common interest in the case and to return each other's phone calls. Not all lawyers take that approach, but they should. Thereafter during Kush's tenure at the public defender's office, his views were always on-the-money when I would brainstorm with him about cases. I appreciate all the more that he would take the time for me to bounce an idea off of him about a prosecutor or judge while he was in court with his own multiple clients. Kush knows his stuff, and has the necessary confidence to engage in trial battle. Now in private practice, Kush continues to have what it takes to serve his clients well."
