Excellent Attorney

Siddhartha H. Rathod's Lawyer Endorsements
"Highly respected attorney in the community."
"Siddhartha clearly should be at the top of your list when your civil rights have been violated. He and his partner Quasir have litigated the "case of the year" twice and they are my go-to lawyers when I have questions about employment issues or need to refer a potential client on a civil rights or other related matter. I give them the highest endorsement."
"Mr. Rathod is an expert in criminal and civil rights law. He is an outstanding attorney with years of experience. He is not afraid to take on high-profile cases or cases that involve unpopular causes. He always puts his clients first and works hard to protect their legal rights. I unequivocally endorse him."

"I endorse Siddhartha. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Excellent attorney. Mr. Rathod continues to provide valuable advice on Avvo each time that he responds to a question. Although I have been licensed and practicing for 24 years, including time spent as a judge and magistrate, I continually learn from his answers about different aspects of the law. I would recommend him to everyone."
"Siddhartha has experience handling all types of civil and criminal matters. He's like a one man walking-ACLU."
"I endorse this lawyer. Siddhartha is an extremely capable and conscientious attorney. He was excellent as opposing counsel on my cases when I was a prosecutor and he is exceptional now."
"I have consulted with Mr. Rathod on Civil Rights issues. He, and his partner, are as knowledgeable, tough, and persistent as any attorneys can be regarding taking up for individual rights and pursuing their clients' cases. I would give him my highest recommendation."

He has experience taking on the government at every level, in high stakes cases. He also has ample trial experience. And he knows civil rights law inside and out. His clients are lucky to have him fighting for them."
