Testimonials for Sundeep Soor
“I was introduced to Sundeep by a civil lawyer when I was unjustly reported to the police for an incorrect Fraud accusation. As a guy who has suffered for many years with mental health issues the whole experience was very difficult to manage and control alone. I honestly believe (and so do my family) that without Sundeep in charge of my case I would not be here today to write this review. Sundeep managed to handle the case with a high level of detail and attention but without charging ridiculously high fees or overworking the case. He managed every step of the process and put me at ease at even the toughest times. He even called me personally when the case was dropped and the elation in his voice when he told me the good news was both heart warming and sincere. Quite simply Sundeep is not only the best lawyer (both civil or criminal) I have ever worked or dealt with, he is also one of the nicest and most humble of human beings I have ever met”.
