  • I hired Kotak Law to represent me when my disability case was denied. No other lawyers were willing to help me. I met with the lawyer Rajiv who took on my case, fought hard on my behalf and won my case after going through to a hearing. I highly recommend Kotak Law if you have a disability benefit claim that has been denied. Rajiv's clerk, Charmaine, was fantastic to deal with as well.

    Right from the moment I called this law firm I knew I was in good hands. Rajiv was absolutely amazing. He was very compassionate and understanding of my situation. I felt very at ease and he made me feel like family. Charmaine was also such a pleasure to talk to and always got back to me with any questions I had and always reassured me and helped with my anxiety. They worked hard on my case and I am very pleased with the way it was handled. I am so very grateful to have worked with this law firm and highly recommended anyone to seek counsil with them. Thank you again for all your hard work it was such a pleasure!

    Kotak just helped me few days ago to successfully close a second case. In the first one, Rajiv Hate, who is a phenomenal lawyer with Kotak helped me to get much more than I expected in a settlement due to an awful motorcycle accident. And now with a LTD case (non-related to the motorcycle accident) Rajiv did it again, he just helped me to settle my case getting a much higher compensation than I initially estimated. The level of professionalism, attention to detail and kindness showcased by all the team at Kotak and by Rajiv in particular have been insuperable and a constant in both cases. Don't waste your time with any other law firm as I did before I contacted Kotak for my first case, call them and request to talk with Rajiv, you won't regret it!!
