From the very first moment I spoke to Mr Padda, he made me feel at ease and assured me that he could help me with my case. I was very distraught at the time but he worked with me patiently and tirelessly and was able to get my case withdrawn with no criminal record. It was a very sensitive and emotional issue for me at the time but he was very professional and always kept me updated. Probably one of the best defense lawyers in Halton/Milton area. I remain grateful and appreciative of a job well done. I hope his expertise and professionalism will continue to assist someone in a vulnerable and difficult situation like mine. His costs are reasonable too.

Well folks I really don’t know what to say at this point in time as I’m still in a state of shock & let me explain why ….first off , I was looking at 6 serious charges that were brought against me & that alone is enough to make anyone have nightmares , well I found Inder on the internet & called him up & told him my dilemma & my situation , he then told me that not to worry & he will deal with everything . Well I went & met Inder at his office location in Mississauga & explained my situation , he said it was a tough one but he would give it his best shot & not to worry , well time had past & the trial was coming up & it was time to get prepared for trail , well if you ever had a gym trainer that was so hard on you , then you will find Inder to be the same way , he’s hard & tough on you , but it’s only cause he’s a professional & wants things done correctly so the end results are a victory , well as the trail came up , I was a little skeptical if Inder was really going to pull this off as it was a serious task in hand & nothing short of a miracle , well as the trail went on Inder was being hit with roadblocks that were not looking well for my case , but if any of you people have ever seen the Rocky movie saga’s , Inder was Rocky Balboa , he took all the punches & let the Crown attorney smack him around a little bit , but in the final round he came out guns a blazing & swinging & pulled out all the stops & K.O ‘d the Crown Attorney , this was an amazing feat to achieve & I was very impressed & relieved that Inder had done what he said he would do right from the beginning , he was in my corner & fought till the bitter end & came out victorious , if you don’t like someone is tough on you , then Inder isn’t your man , but if you want results , then there is nobody better that you would want on ur side then Mr . Inder Padda…….kudos to you Mr .Padda I tip my hat to you & will never forget you & how you saved my life

Inder was amazing to work with. He was organized, knowledgeable and empathetic. I came in with 4 serious charges that would have resulted in jail time. He was able to reduce the sentence to 1 charge with no jail time. I couldn't have received a better outcome. Would recommend him highly to anybody. Thanks again Inder!
