Bored by consult

Unsure how this lawyer was ever in trial. No presence, seemed bored by the conversation. Did not hire.

Very Impressed

Ms. Dalal was able to get an old charge dropped for me after I moved out of state. She kept me informed via phone and was friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
