My wife and I had a great experience with Jayaraman Law. We are 1st time home buyers and Shekar did an extremely thorough job to make sure we understood the fine details behind every contract and document that we needed to review. His tenacity and drive to make sure nothing falls through the cracks is exactly what you need in an attorney during this process. He was very professional and made sure we understood all the cryptic legalize that can be confusing for those of us that are new to real estate. I was particularly impressed with the time he spent with us to make sure we fully understood everything (both the pros and cons of a property without any bias) – this level of integrity and representation is hard to find. Throughout the process I felt like we were represented 100% without any ulterior motives. If I needed additional clarity on something, he made himself available to answer even during late hours. Shekar is definitely the lawyer you want in your corner through your house hunting journey. Great job all around!
My husband and I hired Shekar to review various drafts of legal documents for a business venture that two other attorneys had previously looked at. After speaking with him and taking his suggestions we were 100% confident in moving forward with our deal and felt that his feedback was valuable and necessary for us to move forward making sure that our best interest was taken care of in all the transactions we were having with the other party. We will continue to use Shekar as our attorney and/or as a resource to seek other legal advice if it is not his specialty. We trust him with all of our personal and professional endeavors.
Attorney Shekar Jayaraman, Esq., LL.M has a multi-faceted background of both public and private sector experience. He is passionate, zealous, and detail oriented.

Attorney you can trust
I was struggling in an real estate deal and things were out of my expectation. Shekar stepped in and used his knowledge and superpower to turn things around. We were impressed by his concentration and efficiency. He's also friendly and patient to work with. Would strongly recommend the law firm to people who needs help.

Shekar takes client/attorney relationships to a whole new level!
We hired Shekar as our Trust Attorney and the process was great. He's a compassionate, kind and just an all around nice guy! He made the process painless and fun. He was thorough, professional and very efficient. We learned a lot and feel so confident that we put the right guy in place for our estate. We highly recommend his services.

"Shekar and I worked together to do some business structuring and planning for a couple of clients. His attention to detail and creative strategies greatly assisted the clients with their organization and operations. Shekar was always enthusiastic in all our discussions. I would enjoy working with Shekar again, or even being on opposite sides of a matter. Choosing Shekar as your attorney would be an excellent choice for your business."
