Bhagwati & Associates, PLLC.

Vijay is an excellent and skilled attorney. He has numerous of years of experience in business immigration and other areas of law. I personally have sought out Vijay for his expertise and experience. Clients are lucky to have him and lawyers are lucky to know him.
I have referred Vijay a lot of business and each one of my referrals have told me that Vijay has provided them the service that they requested.

I will not recommend working with their law firm because of my horrid experience after hiring them for filing my petition.
My petition was supposed to be filed in March, as per my agreed date plan with Mr. Bhagwati. We agreed on the date for filing in January, and I signed the contract and paid him his fees in full at the signing of the contract.
He did not provide me with any timeline of events, nor did he give me any indication on the process his firm will follow in order to go through the petition filing process.
When I approached them with a full set of documents 10 days before my filing date, I got a curt reply from Mr. Bhagwati that he’s swamped with work and can not look at my petition until the next month.
I tried to reason with him, and requested him for a timeline that is usually followed in this type of situation. He started to ignore my emails, and would respond only after I would complain after not hearing from him for 2 – 3 days at a stretch.
On phone calls, he started to accuse me of being a demanding client, and of holding a gun to his head — This was after my petition was delayed by one week and I had not heard back from his office with any feedback on my paperwork, whatsoever. I continued to get up at 4 am every morning, complete tons of paperwork that I believed would make my petition stronger (mainly a 40+ page business plan) and send him links with updated documents every other day.
He constantly assured me that he has prepared my documentation and yet, after repeated requests and his promises, failed to provide one single document that he had prepared for my case. Not one single document was ever presented to me as proof of any work done, ever, on my petition, after Mr. Bhagwati cashed a check with 100% fee in advance.
I recently got an email full of personal insults from Mr. Bhagwati that I am happy to share with anyone who needs proof.
He clearly has issues differentiating professional from personal affairs. He was recommended to me by my brother in law, and now he claims I’m committing the crime of defamation by talking to my brother in law about his inefficiency.
He doesn’t shy from calling you names, insulting you and threatening you subtly for conversations, despite constantly missing deadlines, ignoring my emails and not returning my calls on a continuous basis.
I have detailed conversation logs, with multiple requests that I made to his office for some kind of response, and I am happy to provide them to anyone who needs a proof.
