Mr. Bajaj is one of the finest attorneys I have met. He is aggressive, knowledgeable, and meticulous in dissecting each one of his cases. At all times, whether in criminal or civil court, negotiations or trial, he is at least one step ahead of opposing counsel. This is what enables Mr. Bajaj to obtain unprecedented results for his clients. He has rightfully earned a tremendous reputation in federal and state court by both prosecutors and judges throughout the United States. I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Bajaj and wish him and his firm nothing but success in the future.
