Testimonials

Akshay Pradhan came into my life at a time when I was frustrated with not finding a lawyer that would help me in a situation involving a corporate landlord where I lived. Time was of the essence and Akshay was able to help me when it was needed.

Cheri L.

I worked with Akshay for several years on a complicated case and was impressed with his knowledge. He has a backup team of lawyers that that he works with that specialize in specific areas. I don’t think they were needed in this case but it was comforting to know that we had easily accessible support in the event that it was needed.

When Akshay stepped into the situation, he was so kind, so reassuring, so calm. He clearly discussed our options and assured me that he would do everything in his power to keep me out of court. His communications with the landscaper were also warm and calm, but stern. He was never ugly or threatening to the landscaper. He calmly and methodically pushed for a resolution.

They have helped me with every aspect of my business over the last couple of years. Always there as various issues came up, from writing policy and procedures to reviewing documents, to giving me thorough legal advice…Akshay, who I worked with the most, were always quick to respond, very professional and easy to work with. Most importantly, they both genuinely cared about me and my business. My business ran better because of them…

Extremely professional and knows his stuff! Akshay serves as a special adviser to the non-profit which I run, Join the Journey, an international relief and development organization. He brings a wealth of expertise in assisting with our contracts and partnership agreements. He is a thoughtful leader who is astute at considering all elements of the problem set. He is a servant leader and has a humble heart - which allows him to be approachable and fosters positive relationships.

Mr. Pradhan helped my husband and I develop a plan for our estate. Our situation is rather complex and we really appreciated how he helped us think through our options. Mr. Pradhan was clear, logical, and straightforward. He told us what we really needed to do, but also what wasn't that necessary for our individual needs. His advice saved us from spending unnecessary money while allowing us to protect our family's future.
