I received a speeding violation back in March for going 31 over the limit (I know I'm a dummy). After doing research on this violation I found out that speeding 26 to 34 miles per hour over the limit is a Class B Misdemeanor. It's punishable by up to 180 days in jail and/or up to a $1500 fine. After I found this out I didn't know what to do. I was in fear of losing my job as I drive for a living and a clean driving record is of the utmost importance. I spoke with a few friends and they recommended that hire an attorney. I looked up 4 attorneys and contacted them for a consult. The first 3 were good attorneys and gave me some good advice on how I should plead and what to expect. But the 4th attorney (Vijay Sharma) was/is a GREAT attorney and gave me GREAT advice. He took over an hour out of his day to speak with me over the phone. What attorney would conduct a consultation for over an hour?! It showed that he really cares for his clients and that he makes sure that they understand the entire legal process. I HIRED HIM ON THE SPOT! The day finally came when we had to go to court. I was very nervous that day, but after speaking with Vijay in person he really helped me to calm down. He spoke with the prosecutor about the violation and he was able to get them to reduce my Class B Moving Violation down to a Non-Moving Violation! This guy is a incredible! I was completely ecstatic about how well Vijay was able to perform! He did everything he said that he was going to do and then some! We spoke for well over an hour after court had ended about different topics. If you hire Vijay Sharma you WILL NOT be disappointed! Thank you so much Vijay for all of your help! I greatly appreciate it!

Mr Sharma is an excellent attorney and knows his stuff. He isn't afraid to fight for his clients. He has always made himself available and answered all questions intelligently and accurately. In helping me with a difficult case, his information to me was always spot on and he was very fast on his feet during the trial. He was able to obtain a favorable result for me. I highly recommend him and I don't do that very often. I need to mention that in this cold hard world, he also has a heart!

A friend recommended Vijay to me, and I had no prior experience hiring a lawyer before so I gave him a call. He was on his way out of town, but talked to me on the phone and gave his full on legal advice for an hour. I was thinking to myself, "not only is Vijay giving me legal advice, but he's providing full on support for the stress that I am feeling." Upon reaching my court date, Vijay explained the expectations and how everything would happen in full detail. All of my questions were answered with the utmost knowledge. There was a high level of respect and regard for myself, the client's, needs. After my court date was completed, I still found myself asking questions about my case. A text or a call away, Vijay made himself available, and was there once again to speak about the concerns I had. Although the experience of having a court case was not at all ideal, I am very pleased with the attorney that I chose. Because of his positive perspectives, knowledge, respect, and support, I would recommend him to all.

Vijay was very helpful in helping me through this tough time and with his skills was able to get me off the hook with the least severity possible. He is passionate about what he does and will help you through all the hurdles you face through your case. He explained to me all my rights and all the options I had. He made sure I understood everything that was occurring and that I knew the consequences of what would happen if I choose to do one thing over the other. Overall, he did a great job and I would highly recommend him.

I can't thank you enough for what you have done for me. I am extremely grateful to have you in my corner during one of the most difficult times of my life. You were always there for me no matter what and I deeply appreciate it. If you are looking for a lawyer, who not only is knowledgeable, but takes a vested interest in each of his clients, then Mr. Sharma is the man for you! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

I hired Vijay after firing my previous attorney. Frustrated, overwhelmed, and pessimistic about my case, I just wanted my trial to be over. Vijay was responsive the entire duration of my case and even advised me about some law issues, outside of what I hired him for. Vijay made my trial as painless as possible and he is someone who I recommend to anyone in a tough legal situation. All in all, I won my case with Vijay as my attorney.

Vijay represented me on a DUI case several months ago. The entire process was horrible but made bearable by constant updates and discussions at every turn in the case. Vijay is a refreshing change in lawyers across the area. Helping his clients comes first and foremost in his mind.

Hi everyone. My name is Marius and i have a CDL. Last year in october i was arrested and charged for DUI while i was driving my personal car.This is very bad when you have a CDL. My CDL was summary suspended and i had a court date. I was looking for someone to represent me in court and lucky me i found Vijay, honest and trustworthy. When i met him i was without hope but after speaking with him i started to hope again. In short words, he reduced the charge of DUI to reckless driving and what impressed me it was that after 3 days after my last court date i had my CDL back and i started to drive again a commercial vehicle. I recommend Vijay from the bottom of my heart to everyone who needs help with this. THANK YOU VIJAY SHARMA !!!!

Vijay is hands down, the best attorney I've worked with. He was extremely professional and diligent when walking me trough the steps to solve my situation. He helped me build a strong case which eventually was dismissed due to the strong evidence that supported my case. I would definitely recommend his services to other friends and/or family.
