All I can say is WOW!

Most lawyers would look at a DUI charge and see easy money. You did it but maybe I can lessen the charge or penalties is what I heard from almost every lawyer I spoke to. Mr. Chhabra was the only one that actually listened to what happened, came up with a game plan that questioned some basic facts ...that were right there staring everyone in the face. No one else thought past charging for your vanilla defense that normally ends up with a license suspension, fines, huge insurance increases or worse. He worked hard to make my case and the day before court, called and said I didn't have to travel the two hours to court...it was over...charges gone. I was stunned! No charges, no convictions, no deferral of sentence...just gone. I received at least 75 solicitations from Maryland attorneys promising the moon but cautiously telling me that it probably wouldn't turn out well. They just sign you up, take your money, do just enough and explain, oh well, we tried. I commend Mr. Chhabra for his knowledge of the law, his honesty and obviously the respect that the courts have for him. Talk to whoever you want, but in the end use Mandeep Chhabra for you attorney. Bravo sir!

Excellent Lawyer

I highly recommend hiring Mr. Chhabra as your lawyer. The reasons are many. I recently got into some legal trouble, and was very afraid of what was going to happen. So, I went and searched for a lawyer on Google. Mr. Chhabra had the best reviews on there, so I chose him. He then guided me through the... process, always keeping in touch via text, phone, email, and the occasional face to face meeting. I had multiple charges against me, one of which was a felony. All but one of the charges were dropped after going to circuit court. Using his connections, he was able to have my case go to STET. Can't say this enough. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Chhabra as your lawyer.

Success

I consulted with a few lawyers before meeting with mandeep and he blew me away. Very professional and made me feel more comfortable about what was going on. I was freaking out because I was on my second dwi. I blew a .19 at the station and I thought for sure I was going to jail. Mandeep told m...e what he wanted me to do before court to lessen the punishment and also emailed me everything so that I wouldn't forget. I regretfully didn't do everything that he wanted which I knew was a big mistake . In court we decided that we should try to postpone the trial so that I could hurry and get some of those things done that he wanted me to do. but then mandeep started talking to the judge and Next thing I know is that he got the case completely thrown out. No charges given( and I had around 7) case dimissed. It completely threw me off guard and I was in shock! I would refer him to anyone and if you want the best attorney call mandeep! Thanks so Much for working with me.

Effective, Responsive, and Caring!

Mandeep represented me on my 2nd DUI. Throughout the process he was attentive with details and responses to my questions and concerns. We achieved the best possible outcome for my case and I am very happy with the result. Mandeep is also truly concerned about my personal progress throughout this ongo...ing process. Best representation in Annapolis!

Sharp, Experienced and Well Versed DUI/DWI Lawyer

Mandeep Chhabra is an excellent lawyer! I was facing my 2nd DUI/DWI and all of the consequences that come with that charge. Lawyer Chhabra was always there for me whenever I needed advice or had a question before my court date. He was extremely attentive to any call, email, or text I sent him, alw...ays responding very quickly. He was very diligent with the discovery for my case, poring over the details and coming up with the best strategy. In addition, Lawyer Chhabra knows all of the Judges, States Attorneys, and many of the Officers, which is always helpful. On the day of my court date, Lawyer Chabbra went and spoke to the States Attorney before the court opened. The states attorney wanted me to plead guilty, but he wouldn't have anything to do with that! In my particular case, considering the presiding Judge and the States Attorney (He knew both), and considering his review of the discovery, we decided to go to trial. The States Attorney obviously wasn't ready for this and asked for an extension. Lawyer Chhabra protested vigorously (as we wanted to try it that day), but the Judge ended up giving the State an extension, but warned that would be the only one. I was extremely nervous going up to the second court date, but once again, Lawyer Chhabra was always there to answer my questions and provide advice. On the day of my trial, Lawyer Chhabra once again went to the States Attorney to discuss my case prior to the trial. I ended up being called first, which surprised me. We went in front of the Judge, and then sat right back down. Lawyer Chhabra went to sit in the front row, and a couple minutes later someone from the state came and gave him two pieces of paper. He told me to come with him, we were leaving. Due to his legal expertise, knowledge of the court system, and his consideration of the Judge and States Attorney my case ended up being dismissed!! If you are facing any legal trouble, and want an excellent, experienced and well spoken Lawyer, I would highly recommend Mandeep Chhabra!!!
