Great advice and excellent results

Gaurav did a wonderful job during a stressful situation, his advice and counsel on what would happen was exactly what happened. While I hope never to need a lawyer, if I did he is the first person I would call, his support follow up and advice was reassuring and timely, he called or emailed during e...very step of the process and provided next steps so I was never wondering what would happen.

helped in defending me in Civil Harassment Case

I hired him to represent me in a matter that was really complex, i was impressed by this willingness to care for small details of the case, willing do all kind of legal research to protect your interests. I don't know any other attorney that could have worked as hard for me as he did. He won the cas...e for me which even senior attorney's had predicted that i would loose. I felt he is kind of lawyer who cares more for you than your money, very hard working and intelligent guy, because of his hard work and the clarity with which he presented my side to judge, The judge dismissed other party's petition within 2 minutes of hearing. Never saw justice delivered so swiftly and quickly.

Helped dismiss my case

I called up Gaurav through a reference to help me fight a disturbing the peace 415(2) misdemeanor. I received a misdemeanor citation for being at a house party that got too loud. I called Gaurav up and he was the one to pick up my phone call. He was extremely knowledgeable and honest with the whol...e situation. He offered a ton of suggestions and gave me the the complete break down of how the process would proceed. I called around to talk to several other lawyers, and Gaurav is by far the best in terms of price and helpfulness. He stayed with me on the phone until all my questions were answered, and he offered for me to call him back anytime I had other questions. I called him back two more times and he was still very patient and super helpful with everything. I would definitely recommend Gaurav if you are looking for a lawyer that cares about your case and wants to fight for you!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
