Do not hire this person

There is not a whole lot you can say on here, I could tell you several things that Tarak Devkota promised me but then I would not be able to post this on here. The service that he DIDN'T provided didnt live up the promises that he made. I received no such service for the amount of money I paid this... lawfirm. I would not refer anyone to Tarak Devkota. I am in the same place I was when I started this case and I am now several thousand dollars short with nothing to show.
