I hired Kunal for my offshore case. It was fairly complicated and my accountant did not know how to report them. I called a few attorneys and some of them tried to scare me about my situation. I felt comfortable with Kunal. I wanted someone to take their time with my case and do it properly instead of rushing. It was a straightforward process and done very professionally.

Thank you Kunal for your help.
