There are rockstars and there are lawyers but every now and then the stars align and a unicorn of a…read morerockstar lawyer appears. Tara is one such almost impossible rockstar lawyer. In the middle of the day a tragic miscarriage of justice occurred to someone I know, we turned to Tara for counsel to help that person. In half a day things transformed from a seemingly dire situation, with confusing information passed to us from law enforcement, to a complete resolution, with clear and accurate information about the process from Tara. I have worked with attorneys from GT, Latham Watkins, DLA Piper, and more big name firms but rarely experienced this kind of expertise in the matters I've needed counsel on. There isn't another attorney in Manhattan I would trust with someone who need a criminal defense lawyer.

I had just purchased a new car on the 16th of January and my very first car accident totaled my new vehicle on the 26th of February. Daniel Perfeito has been very informative and helpful throughout the whole process. His professionalism is unmatched and he is definitely a gem at their office! As many know, Covid-19 has created an almost "new world" for all of us and having someone I could depend on and speak with that would go in depth to make sure I understood fully what was going on with my injury claim was truly a blessing. Bhatt law group goes above and beyond and they are highly recommended by me! Thank you all for your assistance, Daniel, Devin, and Jay it is greatly appreciated!

I have never dealt with any issues that needed a lawyer's advice until recently, and I have to…read moreadmit I was quite stressed out from having spoken to many lawyers who didn't seem to be able to provide a helpful and non judgmental insight on a case that called for such attention. And then I stumbled on information on Amanda's office while searching for any possible lawyer who would be able to give me anything new helpful information. I desperately needed to find a lawyer who was experienced with the area my case was involved in, and there were very, very few. When I reached out to Amanda, she'd actually gone through effort to do research for me on how my case could be handed and patiently explained to me how my case could possibly be handled. If you are looking for an attorney who is compassionate and cares about your well being and would try to do the best of their ability to help you, Amanda would be my recommendation. If I need any further legal advice in the future, Amanda would be lawyer I would want to speak with.

Highly recommend this firm to anyone who's looking!!

UPDATE 3/26 The way I was treated behind my back till this…read moreday affects me. Apparently I was "too much time spent on" not worthy, charged me a premium and had someone who didn't even get his law degree yet represent me. By the way spodek will not represent you. His unqualified "lawyers" who didn't pass the bar exam will. Shady business Absolutely disgusting behavior from front desk ms Williams. And empty promises. Honest opinion. Never met Spodek once. Representation and communication was weak and the rate for service were high. After 32 hrs of community service $5000 and a stain on my record, DEFINITIVELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR HIRE Mind you my charges were 2 misdemeanors and I had a clean record. Funny part is. I was actually the victim in it all. Not pleased. Please save your money and go to another firm. I've attached a photo of how dismissive spodek is and even talked in a way that made me fear him for not taking down the honest review. But I think people should know the kind of firm this is.

We have resolution in less than three months, and the resolution was nothing if not ideal. It wouldn't have happened if he did not have so much insight and experience of the exact office prosecuting my case. He also gave really good advice on what me as a defendant should and should not worry about and leave the rest to him, so needless to say, he earns his paycheck as a criminal defense attorney. I strongly recommend him!!
