Gets money, doesn’t provide service.

I filed for divorce in September 2021 and paid my retainer in full on the same day as my consultation. Since then, Atty Sambhi hasn’t called me, texted me, emailed me or sent me a billing statement. After months of no response, I terminated him as my attorney. Upon termination I requested my refund.... To date, not only has he not returned my money minus the consultation fee, his paralegal has threatened to take me to arbitration claiming he needs to be paid for hours he spent on my case, however he’s never billed me for it. Do not waste your time or money. The good reviews are from years past. Perhaps he was a very good and responsive attorney then, however my current experience with him is horrible. I’ve never had someone treat me so poorly after they expeditiously took their money from me and basically ran away with it. Do yourself a favor and find another attorney. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Successful Move Away

Mr. Bimal Sambhi really helped me gain primary custody of my kids. The other side played up my history of mental illness (depression), but Mr. Sambhi was able to demonstrate that the children are better cared for having me as their primary caretaker. To add to matters, my case involved moving across ...the country. Divorce is emotional enough as it is. I can't imagine how much harder it would have been without him. I've never had anyone fight harder for me. I recommend him to anyone facing a tough case. It's not a lost cause with him as your attorney.

Guiding Light

I met & hired Bimal Sambhi 12 years ago to handle my divorce, custody & child support matters. This was a difficult situation as the other party was diagnosed mentally ill. Bimhal handled dealing with my other-wise wonderful ex-husband's emotional instabilities with grace and fairness. He knew my fi...nances were extremely strained and I never felt he "overcharged." He was a wonderful beacon of guiding light through an otherwise dark and heartbreaking time in the life of our family. He gave me solid advise and the strength to get through doing what was best for myself and my (at the time) 2 year old son. I'll always be grateful for his help and patience.

Honest and Extremely Scrupulous Attorney that isn't simply out for my money

Bimal is an excellent attorney. His prices were great and I never felt that he was padding his bill or simply out for my money. Now that my divorce is final, he has continued to help me with my child custody issues that I have had with my ex-wife. He has had the dubious task of having to 'reign me... in' to keep me level headed during this highly emotional path towards achieving more custody of my sons. He could have easily acted unscrupulously, and followed my directives, but instead advised against certain legal actions which would have proved fruitless and cost me money. I would advise anyone that wants a fair and honest attorney to hire him.

A Great Lawyer

Back in 2008 I was going through a nasty divorce and I hired an incompetent lawyer and saw no results. Three months into my divorce I came across an acutance who recommend Bimal Sambhi. I immediately fired my lawyer and hired Bimal. It was a great move for me because I saw results. I was very ple...ased with his performance and work ethics. Overall I had a very good experience with Bimal and I would defiantly recommend him
