Reliable and flexible
I purchased a consultation on Avvo and received a call within a few minutes. I explained my case and Gautam was able to quickly give me recommendations so I can move forward safely. He is a reliable and flexible attorney.

Gautam J. Jagannath's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Social Justice Collaborative can handle all spanish, english and tamil speakers . Gautam is knowledgable, kind and compassionate. He knows the intricacies of immigration law on important issues such as inadmissibility and deportability. Plus, he has evolved with the recent changes that have occurred in the last 2/3 years. I was privileged to hear Attorney Jagannath speak recently at SABA Convention in DC. His input was essential and detail oriented. Much more success to him and his efforts."

"I endorse Gautam. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I previously worked in the same building as Social Justice Collaborative. SJC provides excellent services for a class of individuals, low-income deportable aliens, who are underserved by the legal industry. Despite the challenges in defending such cases, SJC has a very good reputation for providing affective and vigorous defense in deportation proceedings. I endorse this lawyer."
"Attorney Jagannath is an excellent and focused advocate. His combination of intellect and compassion make him an exceptional lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
