Harvinder came to our rescue when we were undergoing horrific experience with a bankruptcy attorney. Harvinder worked very skillfully with the outgoing attorney and his team to obtain all relevant information without any friction. We are retired seniors with limited resources and we were dealing ...with a very aggressive creditor trying to raid our resources due to failed business long time ago. It is a very complex case involving issues that required deep understanding of law. Harvinder is a tremendous litigator who looks at any situation from all different angles and is extremely well prepared before the judge. He is very ethical in his dealings and always guides his clients away from wrong doing. We would strongly recommend him for any legal situation you might be involved in. You will find a very compassionate, smart, diligent, and caring attorney on your side - fighting for you.

Honesty, integrity, knowledge…

Harv Anand is the kind of lawyer that everyone wants.  Honesty, integrity, knowledge…the words of praise are unending for Harv.  The unending list of praise is what we look for in every Lawyer and Human Being. Harv helped me resolve a Drive-By ADA Claim that every small business owner like me dreads ...receiving.     I have never been sued before in my entire life, so my anxiety level was extremely high to the point of not eating, not sleeping regularly and being withdrawn from my family for a week, once I was served.  The stress was compounding, so I reached out to a family member, who went through a similar claim and spoke of Mr. Anand very highly and with great respect, since his knowledge of this area of law is very high. I was upfront with my financial hardship, and unlike the Law Firms that solicited me to use them—quick sell job, then retainer fee statement—Harv was very much the opposite and helped me without any charge.   Harv made the time to read the summons, then went through a thorough consultation about my options and how this Drive-By ADA could be resolved.  As he consulted me, my anxiety and stress levels pretty much diminished.  I wish I had the finances to hire him because Mr. Anand could have resolved the claim with even a better outcome. And, I would have gladly paid him without hesitation. A Lawyer and Human Being like him is worth any amount.    We need lawyers like him, and if you need a lawyer to represent you, you NEED Harv Anand.

Sharp, Dependable, Winner

Harv is a sharp, dependable lawyer who knows how to win. He was great at coming up with creative arguments on every subject matter. He is a great advocate. Harv was our General Counsel and I thankfully had the opportunity to see him work on a variety of cases over the years. Cases ranged from under... $10k to over $30mil.

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."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I previously practiced in the same office with Harvinder Anand for several years and conferred with him almost daily about a wide variety of legal issues. Harv's experience, seasoned professional judgment, litigation instincts, and reputation in the legal community are great assets to his clients. In litigation, Harv has outstanding attention to detail and makes arguments in an aggressive and concise manner that will position you will before any court, agency or forum. 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."
