Mr Ashwin is a lawyer who understands what exactly his client wants before offering constructive advice. He made me understand the law, the provisions in the law, not with technical jargon but in layman’s speak and also paints a better picture with a case study or his own vindicated client’s success at court without going into specifics as they wld be in conflict with confidentiality issues. This just goes to show his professionalism and dedication. Basically, he’s concise, precise about what can be achieved- he doesn’t oversell it – and follows thru till results are delivered. Thank you very much Mr Ashwin. I wish you the best in your future endeavours.
Definitely a great and discipline lawyer to recommend.
He never give empty promise and will deliver what is promise.
Best criminal lawyer👍🏻👍🏻
I’m grateful
Very efficient, Very understanding and works his way Meticulously to best aid in his cases. 100% recommend him to anyone who is in despair of help.
Ashvin made this painful experience less torturing with his great experience and patience. Always trying very hard to get the best possible outcome even though the odds were less. Representing legal issues does not involve only facts and figures. There’s a certain amount of EQ needed in serving the client needs both physically and mentally. Ashvin has definitely done his best in delivering the case facts being very mindful of how it affects us but staying firm as well as to whats best in our interests. Its a rare quality to be appreciated.
Great experience getting to know him and working with him. Very persistent and positive attitude towards his career. Definitely will recommend his services to anyone who needs it. Goes beyond his call of duty to help,not only doing the work for money. Thanks again Ashvin…
