Responsive, Effective & Friendly lawyer
I hired Naresh to help me with a hit and run charge. He got one of two charges from the accident dismissed, helped me strategize to avoid heavier charges and jail time, and generally is a very effective lawyer and nice guy. Not cheap; but totally worth every penny.
