MY LAWYER

I would like to take the time to give thanks to Mr Bali who represented me. For my first time having a lawyer i didn't now what to expect. I appreciate everything you have done for me and you definitely have my recommendation to anyone in need of a good lawyer. I couldn't ask for much more from you ...and i trust and respect what you have done for me i really do appreciate it.

I would definitely recommend Mr. Bali to my friends and family.

I was charged with a felony weapons charge for having a pistol when I had a no weapons clause from a previous case. Mr. Bali kept me informed about all aspects of the case and made recommendations on the next step to take. In the end I was not held to answer for the charge and my record has no feloni...es. I would use Mr. Bali again, but hopefully I won't ever need a lawyer again.

Mr. Gaurav S Bali

I retained Mr.Bali as my lawyer and have been exceptionally pleased with his services. He is supportive, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable. He understood exactly what occurred. He was clear and precise in identifying what course of action we needed to take. He systematically followed the st...eps he outlined, and kept me informed every step of the way. At no time did I feel that Mr. Bali was not in control of what needed to be done. I am immensely grateful for his help, advice, and legal expertise. I whole heartedly recommend him as a lawyer.

My review for Mr.Bali

Mr.Bali is a Amazing Lawyer! He has helped me in a few cases and was extremely knowledgable and patient. He clearly explained to me everything i needed to know and was absolutely outstanding on feedback and follow-ups with me. He did not make me feel like like a client but rather more of a friend her...e to help me. I have recommended Mr.Bali to numerous other potential clients and he's been just flawless overall. Thank you very much for Alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll your help Mr.Bali you are amazing at what you do and don't ever stop. I wish you the very best moving into the future. God bless.

Life-Saver

Gaurav astounded me from our very first meeting. I felt helpless in my ignorance of the legal process surrounding my case and wasn't sure how to cooperate initially. We spoke less than ten minutes before I started to understand how he could handle my case. He worked so efficiently and covered a lot o...f ground in so little time. I've never been more impressed by a professional my whole life. I thought my case was hopeless, Gaurav saved my career and my freedom. I simply can't thank him enough.

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.
