Sabarish Neelakanta a truly knowledgable and responsive attorney

I feel very fortunate that we hired Sabarish Neelakanta for my son's defense in a very serious criminal case. He was from the beginning responsive to our son's situation , patient in explaining the implications of the charges to us and to our son and knowledgable in giving him his best options and be...st defense. He was a calming and rational presence when emotions were running high. He gave us and our son much needed support through a process that was daunting and slow at best. He was throughout the entire process and to this day has been the ultimate professional, a man of true integrity and I would recommend him without question.
