DO NOT HIRE

She told me there would be NO immigration consequences to pleading guilty prior to being placed into the Intervention in Lieu of Conviction program. I trusted her because she was my lawyer. She could have sought pretrial diversion for me. It was my first and only offense. Non-violent. No impact to th...e community. It’s been years now and I’m still battling the consequences of her terrible guidance. DO NOT hire her.

The most grateful client

Priya has been a God-send. I was charged with a very serious crime; one that, as a single parent, I can't even imagine the damage it would have inflicted on my and my child's life. I've never faced anything like this, and I was terrified. Priya kept my nerves under control the whole time, was alw...ays available to me and kept me informed about everything. Not only was she the biggest support system, she was able to get the charge reduced to the lowest possible misdemeanor, which can be expunged in a couple of years. I can't express my gratitude enough.

She is a great Attorney!

I retained Priya as an attorney for two criminal charges I had in the Columbus area. She was able to keep the charges to misdemeanors and I received fine and probation instead of jail time. She is a great communicator as I could text or call her at any time. She was always on time and prepared for... the court appearance. She knows the Columbus area courts well and can give you a great strategy for your case. She is very intelligent and communicates well.

Better late than never

Priya helped me when an officer threw the book at me. She not only got most of my charges dropped but made sure to help me get my previous record exponged. I now have a clean record felt at ease at court and she did things that were above and beyond

Will always be my go to attorney!

Priya has been worth every cent that she requested. She came through in my defense even when she was sick. During trail she was well prepared for whatever the state presented. I am free to this day because of her. I appreciate her working so diligently on my behalf. Whenever I need legal assistanc...e Priya will always be my go to attorney.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Attorney Tamilarasan is a true professional and phenomenal advocate. She covered a matter in Franklin County Municipal Court for me with less than 24 hours' notice and having never met the client. She immediately built a relationship with the client and was able to navigate the case to an extraordinary conclusion. It was an impressive showing that I was not expecting, but more importantly, made the client happy. I would highly endorse this attorney for any criminal matter in Franklin County!"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
