Naresh Arun Rajan

Naresh is honest and helpful with not too many frills. He will tell you things as is they are and has a vast amount of knowledge of processes and laws in San Mateo County and beyond. With his guidance he helped me make the right decisions for a DUI case. He always has time for his clients and is an a...sset to have. Highly recommend!

This was the most helpful and positive experience I have had with a lawyer to date. He was occasionally hard to get ahold of, which I attribute to a heavy case load, but each time we spoke he was clear and honest about the possible results of my case and the wisdom of which choices to make that woul...d help present it to the court in the best light. He did not wait until the last moment, but collected information and discussed my case with the DA prior to the day of court. Most importantly to me, he helped guid me through an unfamiliar process without making me feel like I was belittled or unworthy of his time. The final outcome of the case was better than I expected and I attribute that to his efforts and his guideance.

There's a lot that can be said about Naresh as a lawyer. Naresh was appointed to me via the Public Defenders program for my case, with me as defendant. He was, at first, a bit inquisitive as to what it was that I did and to what extent, to gather the basic information that he needed to work with. ...After that, though, he went even further with it and actually got to know me, as his client. He made me feel very comfortable and confident in his abilities, and over time I would learn to trust in him fully when it came to the decisions being made about my case. He did an excellent job of being personable, likeable and friendly, and has a demeanor that shows he truly is in it to fight for what is right in the end, regardless of what he' may or may not be getting in the end. A man with traditional values, thought lost in the modern age of the legal career. He constantly kept me informed of the changing events, letting me know even when a little detail had been changed and if other options opened up that may benefit me and my case in the long run and short run. In the end, it was this attentitveness to detail that I believe got me the monumentally reduced deal I got, which I can honestly say gave me a second shot at life out of custody. There were times where he came upon something that he did not know about, because my case had involved some more modern laws - some of which hadn't been totally established or had very vague or general definitions. Those barriers were short-lived though, because he seemed to keep the ball rolling well even after hitting such obstacles. In his profession, I'd say he's definitely got more dedication to learning from the unknown than other guys, who might just look it up on a smartphone and call it a day. He was also very receptive to my feelings, above all - which is something that truly caught me off guard in a very positive way. He wasn't afraid to keep a personal link open to me at all times, in case I ever needed support, someone to talk to or just someone to chat up with about the day and goings on. I can honestly consider him to be a part of one of the better social experiences I've had in my life, regardless of how convluted, confusing and overall messed up my case may have been during its duration. Without his help, I know it would have been regarded as a whole different kind of matter entirely. If you want a lawyer who's going to be dedicated, honest, forthwright and, when needed, blunt about a case, but will also be human and real with you, and will fight for you fairly and give you absolutely every avenue possible within the scope of the law to help get you a second chance - like he did for me - then look no farther than Naresh.

A buddy and I had a pretty wild night out and ended up getting slapped with drunk in public charges. When we went to the arraignment Naresh entered a not guilty plea. He was a straight shooter and told us that the charges weren't going to stick and explained why. He was very responsive and always kep...t me in the loop. After negotiating with the district attorney on numerous occasions, Naresh ended up getting my charge down to a infraction that doesn't pertain to being drunk in public. He did a great job and I would recommend him if you need a solid defense attorney.
