Life Saver

I had a tax related case on my back for over 8 years . The attorney that I had hired got disbarred and I didn't know until the government called me. That is when I found Harvinder he saved my life. He was very professional and answered all the questions I Had, he explained the process in detail an...d made sure I had the best outcome. Honestly I owe him my peace of mind and I will always be grateful. He is the best at his job,

sincere passionate lawyer

I highly recommend Harv to anyone who wants a sharp lawyer who knows how to win. My friend and I hired Harv to take over our fraud case after having two previous lawyers. Together, we had lost over $820,000 in a fraud perpetrated by our former friend. Our previous lawyers had not been doing a go...od job and we needed someone who would aggressively go after the defendant. Harv immediately took control of the case after we hired him. Harv forced the defendant to produce documents he had been hiding for months. Next, by going through all the evidence, Harv even forced the defendant to admit that he defrauded us. Then, Harv got summary adjudication from the court and we got a judgment against defendant for over $820,000 to cover all our losses. Harv combines the best qualities everyone wants in a lawyer. He knows the law, he is a passionate advocate, he cares about his clients and he works really hard to win. Harv always thinks through all the issues and different possibilities of how to best handle the case. And Harv always explained everything to us as we went along so that we made the best decisions possible. Harv even told me when I did not need to take an action in my case, so I would save money. Overall, Harv always looked out for my interests and did a great job getting me and my friend justice. I would hire Harv again if I ever need a litigator. I highly recommend hiring Harv if you want a lawyer who will aggressively pursue justice for you and genuinely cares about his clients.

Client

For anyone who is looking for a great white collar crime defense attorney, I would highly recommend Harvinder Anand. Not only was he caring and compassionate and a wonderful listener. At the same time, he had incredible wisdom and excellent strategic planning of attack when it came to defending me in... a white-collar crime. I believe that he is the key to having great success with any case when it’s pertaining to white-collar crime. He defended my legal rights and demonstrated the ability to analyze my case and make sure that we had the greatest strategical planning. He is a true advocate when it came to my legal rights.

Trustworthy, honest and unprejudiced lawyer.

I approached Harvinder regarding a Civil litigation case about 6 months ago. He was very helpful in understanding my case and came up with a strategy to solve the case. The communication was excellent and he made sure I was kept informed with every step of the case. He not only solved the problem tha...t I asked him for but understood the background story and encouraged me to pursue the losses that I had incurred. He was as flexible as possible and proceeded the case according to my will. I was totally satisfied with his services and would recommend him to anyone in the future.

White collar crime lawyer | Jun 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"In my 15 years as a lawyer, there are few I have met as intelligent and competent as Harv. What is clearly his best attribute as a litigator is his ability to take complex issues and synthesize them in a manner that is both persuasive and easy for a judge (or jury) to understand. He also understands and is able to implement effective litigation strategies. I fully endorse Harv as an attorney."

Litigation lawyer | Oct 17

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I worked with Harv on a variety of complex litigation, including ADA cases, breach of contract matters, and a complex fraud matter. His criminal trial attorney skills were honed during his many years as an esteemed prosecutor at NYC DA's office and the US Attorney's Office in LA. And he was a civil trial attorney at one of LA's largest litigation firms and General Counsel for a real estate group. He is a skilled cross-examiner who pins down difficult witnesses. Harv also excels at pre-trial motion practice. Last year, he obtained summary judgment on behalf of a plaintiff in a major civil fraud case in NY. Similarly, he successfully obtained demurrer on a punitive damages claim in a personal injury matter. Harv has an incredible perspective on seeing all sides of an issue, and thinking outside the box. He litigates to win and get the best result, but never loses sight of the big picture. Finally, Harv is an exceptional person who cares about doing the right thing for his clients."

I endorse Harv, because he handles his client's matters in a zealous and knowledgeable manner while maintaining the highest degree of professionalism, care and personal integrity."
