As an accomplished "Top 40 Under 40" criminal defense attorney, he has been selected by his peers as a New England Super Lawyer/Rising Star in the area of White-Collar Criminal Defense for each of the past 10 years by Boston Magazine. His firm's philosophy on socially conscious business practices and community contributions have been profiled by Forbes, the American Bar Association Journal, the Boston Globe and the Boston Business Journal.. Regarded as powerful in the courtroom and unflappable at the negotiating table, Vikas talks fast because he thinks fast, and clients rave about his simultaneously calming demeanor, friendliness and never-ending energy reserves.
