This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Employee dispute

I had to fire an employee and she filed for unemployment. They were penalising me and wanted to pay. Rakesh represented me and won the argument. I will recommend him to all my friends and colleagues.

REVIEW

I hired Mr. Perekh to file a lawsuit against TSA in 2012 after TSA abused me for being foreigner and kept me in the airport until I lost my international flight. I was going to the Middle East for my father's funeral and this agent put his finger on my foreign passport and showed it to me. Mr. Pare...kh charged me good amount of money and did not sign his own engagement letter to keep it safe for his future. Because he was not familiar with this kind of lawsuit, he did not send the correct forms to right agency until we lost the statute of limitation. He did not communicate with me and forced me to not following the case. Two years later he terminated his own contract and dropped me, since he knew I do not have the copy of the signed contract. Resulting his action I lost my case and he kept the money.

Professional and reasonably priced!

Rakesh was referred to me by a friend. I initially filed a lawsuit in Magistrate Court against a former employer, but then realized that I definitely needed help. Rakesh aggressively represented me causing them to offer me a settlement offer I could live with. For someone that is easily intimidate...d by courts and lawyers, I was very satisfied with Rakesh's ability to relate to me, understanding what I was going through, and making sure the judge and other lawyer knew it too. I would certainly recommend him to my friends.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
