Mr Chhabra is an excellent and exceptional lawyer

It is with great delight that I am writing this review for Mr Chhabra. He was incredibly reassuring and thoroughly professional in handling my DUI case. I was made aware of Mr Chhabra through Avvo. I read a handful of reviews and felt confident that he might be the best person to help me out with my... case. I called him and explained that due to my work schedule, I will only be able to meet him on Saturday. He immediately agreed to make time to meet him on a Saturday. I went to his office and gave him the details of my case. I was pulled over for speeding and swerving excessively. The police officer explained to me that a couple of people called 911 to express concerns about the way I was driving. After asking me to perform a multitude of tests to determine my level of intoxication, the police officer asked me to take a breathalyzer test. I refused and thus, he arrested me and charged me with reckless driving, speeding and DUI/DWI. This was the second time I was charged with a DUI in a span of about 8 years. To make matters worse, I have a job that requires me to possess a clean driving record and a DUI conviction means that I will automatically be terminated. I explained to Mr Chhabra that I could not afford to lose my job and that the barometer for how well he represents me is contingent on me keeping my job. It is with a great sense of gratitude that I am happy to write that Mr. Chhabra managed to get me Probation Before Judgement on my 2nd DUI and thus, I was able to keep my job. I am greatful for his hard work and the dedication he exhibited while handling my case. Furthermore, let me enumerate the actions and conduct of Mr. Chhabra that makes me feel like I had the best lawyer taking care of me. 1.) Mr. Chhabra gave me his personal cellphone number. He told me I could text him anytime. I texted him whenever I was anxious and everytime, he reassured me that he was doing his best to look out for me. 2.) A couple of days before Christmas, I texted Mr Chhabra because I had concerned about being able to pay the money I owed him in order for him to enter his appearance on my behalf. Mr Chhabra texted back and agreed to a $500 discount on the amount we initially agreed on. I was exceptionally greatful because I was short on rent and didn't have any money to buy gifts to put under the Christmas tree for my daughter. 3.) He held me accountable for my actions. Mr Chhabra politely explained to me that a 2nd DUI means that I have a drinking problem. He wasn't condescending in the way he conveyed his opinion about my drinking. He simply explained to me the fact as highlighted by my two DUI's and made the case that it was best for me to seek treatment and abstain from drinking. 4.) Mr Chhabra will persist and fight for you. When we first went to court, Mr Chhabra told me that he had a plea deal with the prosecutor for Probation before Judgement and a weekend in jail. He said, however, that he thought the judge would not go along with the plea deal but convict me outright instead. He suggested to move for a jury trial in the hopes of getting a judge that might be more sympathetic to accepting the plea deal during the conference meeting to set a trial date. Due to the fact that we established a rapport based on trust, I went along with his suggestion. Needless to say, Mr Chhabra was correct in having my case be heard by another judge. When we went in front of the other judge, somehow, the new prosecutor rescinded the plea deal and wanted me to be convicted outright and serve some jail time. Mr Chhabra said don't worry about it. When we went in front of the judge, Mr Chhabra convinced​ the judge to give me Probation before Judgement with NO jail time at all which means that I get to keep my job. Thank you Mr Chhabra.

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!

Auto Accident Injury Cases

In the process of interviewing attorneys to deal with a non-responsive/adversarial major insurance company who refused to pay the medical bills resulting from an accident that the insurance company's insured had already been found at fault in court for causing, Mandeep provided informative, succinct ...guidance even before our decision to retain him. No other attorney we interviewed provided such "early-on" guidance at the depth of Mandeep's guidance. Subsequently, during what turned out to be a multi-year process, Mandeep's attentiveness, timeliness, and frankness resulted in the positive outcomes. Clearly his (and his fine staff's) competence along with his negotiation skills in representing our interests made the difference between a "typical" result and a far superior result. Mandeep can be trusted to uphold his firm's "Not your typical lawyers..." description!

Christmas Party Fiasco

Mandeep is a terrific lawyer and I highly recommend hiring him to represent you if you find yourself in trouble. In mid December, I attended a holiday party and made the terrible decision to drink and drive. I was pulled over and received a ticket that spanned two pages listing 6 different infracti...ons, including a DUI. I was devastated, terrified, and worried about what would happen next. Fortunately, I found Mandeep to help me through the process. He promptly made himself available for me and was very comforting when I met with him about my case. He assured me that he would take care of me, the worst had already occurred, and all would be okay. That night, I finally slept a little better comforted by Mandeep's confidence. As my trial date approached, my nervous anxiety began to return. I feared the worse and the multitude of "what ifs" kept me up at night. Mandeep was right though, the worst had already occurred. My spirits were lifted as soon as I noticed that other lawyers at the district court house flocking to Mandeep to ask his advice! Mandeep knew exactly what to do in the court house and got me the best possible result I could have hoped for. You'll be in good hands with Mandeep as your attorney and I'm really glad that I hired him to represent me. Thank you, Mandeep, for helping me get past this unfortunate hurdle in my life.

Greatest lawyer in history period

Where do I begin my name is John I was currently arrested for 15 felonious charges and was looking for a great attorney everywhere I turned I was getting negative feed back. So a friend of mine referred me to Mandeep "aka" "greatest lawyer ever" "aka" "my brother" so I sat in his office and broke it ...down for me i was facing jail time. Mandeep asked me what am I looking for I said no jail time he looked me square in the eye and said that is going to be tough but I can make it happen. So we agreed that Mandeep would represent me through out the whole time he kept me posted, checked up on me, and gave me the courage to go on every day. When my court date came I was nervous dispite that Mandeep said everything would be fine. In the court room he dazzled everyone and final out come for me where I was facing 15 charges at 5 years a piece, I got 1 year unsupervised probation. Wow even in my dreams I would had never believed things could have gotten that well for me. So as for me Mandeep is my brother and even after my trial he checked up on me and is still trying to help me with my past charges from long ago. So Mandeep is the best I've met and I wish I could give my new found brother more then 5 stars cause he deserves a million and a million thank you's. I will never forget you my friend and brother.
