DO NOT HIRE ASHVIN. HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HIS CLIENTS, DOES NOT KNOW THE LAW, AND WILL NOT DO THE WORK REQUIRED.

I hired Ashvin to represent me in a lawsuit to evict a tenant who had not paid rent. He showed up to the trial completely unprepared and as a passive bystander. He had not read my documents, he did not ask the tenant a single question when she was on the stand, he did not offer a closing statement, a...nd he did not proceed to ask for damages as we had discussed. Furthermore, he did not object to anything the tenant said, despite her ranting outside of the scope of the trial, despite my prodding him to object, and despite the fact that he said he would object when we discussed this subject prior to the trial date. On top of all of this, when the judge asked if I had filed a 30 day notice to vacate, Ashvin had no idea! I pulled out the document and gave it to him, while the judge was asking for it, and he refused to present it to the judge. It was clear he had not seen it before, despite the fact that I sent it to him, with all the other relevant documents, PRIOR to the trial. When we left the courtroom, I asked Ashvin to explain the need for the notice to vacate. He said he had no idea what the Judge was referring to and why! He obviously did not know the law and was not able to reply to the Judge. In addition, he had not even read my lease, which my entire case was predicated on! Because he was completely lost, he never asked the Judge a single question nor did he try to mitigate the Judge's concerns. On top of all that, he got angry with ME and told ME that I had not "pointed out" the notice to vacate to him in my emails. He refused to take responsibility for the fact that he didn't do his due diligence by reading my documents and communicating with me accordingly. To add insult to injury, he did not bring relevant documents to the trial or sufficient copies. I was the one giving him my copies to use during the proceeding. It was clear that he had not read my documents and didn't care to participate in my case. He was just a warm body there to collect his payment. After everything was over, I asked Ashvin for a refund of his fees since he did not do his job. He refused to provide a refund.

Dear anonymous, I appreciate your feedback and hear your concerns. However, most of what you wrote is inaccurate. You needed someone to represent you at trial less than a week after initial contact and to get you a judgment for possession of the premises, back rent owed, court costs and attorney's fees. All of those were awarded to you at trial. You may be frustrated that it is difficult to collect on the judgment, but I explained this to you at the outset. I am sorry that you were disappointed with my representation and your experience at Court. I wish you the best of luck collecting on the judgment that was awarded to you and I hope your legal experiences are better going forward!

A lawyer with a Heart!

Ashvin was wonderful! He reached out to me in my time of need and offered me a solution at a reasonable price. He didn't try to get rich off me and overcharge me but offered me his services with my situation in mind. He was very professional, flexible, and knowledgeable about the case and he always m...ade sure I understood everything. He continuously gave me prompt responses to my many inquiries with great detail. He even helped me with other situations and paperwork not related to my case. I will definitely recommend his services anytime. Thank you Ashvin.
