A lawyer you can trust

I first met Attorney Aalok Sikand a little over 2 years ago when my wife and I had to file for bankruptcy. He had been working for another law firm and was assigned to our case. About 3-5 months into it, we received a letter from the firm (and a separate letter from Aalok) stating that he was leaving... and we needed to make a decision to either stay with them or continue to have Aalok represent us. We chose Aalok because from the beginning it felt like he was on our side. Even when things began to look bleak, Aalok contacted us to make sure we were OK and that we kept up to date on any payments, appointments, etc. When things weren't going the way we wanted them to, he didn't just take our money and abandon us. He's had our back throughout the whole ordeal. I haven't had many dealings with attorneys, but Aalok doesn't fit the negative stereotype. He's done what's expected of him and more, going beyond to assist our family through this trying time. Would I recommend him? That's a no brainer!
